Litecoin’s new low and a 7% hike – A classic case of…?

Although it’s not a frontrunner in the market, Litecoin is known for being ever-present at all times. Its significance is drawn from its minimal yet expansive use cases that keep it relevant. To date, investors continue to bank on those use cases for recovering their losses.
