As we are approaching the 10th anniversary of Litecoin, I figured it's a good time to do a long Twitter 🧵 on the history of Litecoin from my perspective. My memory of events can be hazy at times, so for those mentioned, feel free to add or correct anything I say. Here goes...

Finally got to chat with Ben! As you have heard our boy @Benaskren double lung transplant was successful 🥳 but the hard truth is that the road to recovery will be long, difficult, and costly. Ben has done so much to advance the brand of litecoin through the UFC, Instagram, and…

$100M will be invested into Litecoin next week. That's 1.3% of the market cap of LTC! $100M is a very memorable number to me. I remember very clearly that when I first got into Bitcoin in 2011, the whole market cap of Bitcoin was $100M. 🤯
$100m Litecoin Treasury
This past week I did basically a Litecoin investor roadshow. I had 40 meetings in three days. Woke up at 4:30am for a 5am meeting because people on the East Coast love early 8am ET meetings. 😡 Then it was ~15 back to back 30 minutes meetings pitching to investors. Fun times. 😂
I'm excited to see $100M invested into a Litecoin treasury company! I will be advising and joining the board of directors of MEIP. @LTCFoundation and I will also work closely with @GSR_io and @MEI_Pharma to contribute to the Litecoin ecosystem. Exciting times for Litecoin!

Good news. Most people thought I was on meds already anyway.😀 litecoin.com/news/100-milli…
7/ “This partnership with GSR and MEI brings that utility and mission into an institutional setting for the first time,” said Litecoin creator @SatoshiLite. Institutions have lacked access. That changes now. This is the new gateway to LTC.
1/ GSR has led a $100M private placement into Nasdaq-listed @MEI_Pharma (MEIP) to launch the first institutional Litecoin treasury strategy alongside Litecoin creator @SatoshiLite. chainwire.org/2025/07/18/gsr…
Litecoin ($LTC) has been casually labeled as a "fork" of Bitcoin since seemingly forever -- and until last week I even thought it was. It's a label that has stuck around for more than a decade, but the reality is that @Litecoin actually isn't a fork of Bitcoin -- in the…

Some really smart MIT grad who worked at Google decided to play around some code and now I help move money around the world for basically nothing and make fun of Solana.
Share a piece of lore about yourself
Here's my Coinbase lore. I first contacted Coinbase initially not about a job but, of course, to ask if they would support Litecoin. Olaf @zxocw responded and said they are Bitcoin-only for now as they have limited resources, which made a lot of sense. A few weeks later, my…
The first version of Coinbase launched with just a hot wallet - a risky proposition. We were in beta and the app prominently told people not to store any money there they couldn't afford to lose. But the amounts of deposits kept steadily rising. I realized we needed to build…
