Bitcoin's little brother Litecoin has seen a dramatic surge over the past year - more dramatic than Bitcoin in fact - but the past week in particular has seen Litecoin rocket to the moon so to speak. At the time of writing, Litecoin is close to hitting the $US200 mark in valuation.

You can see the green line in the above chart. It shows Litecoin's $USD price rocketing north during the later half of 2017. Whilst Bitcoin surged by an incredible 2000% in 2017, Litecoin was an even better investment, with an eye-watering 4000% gain!
And Litecoin's founder Charlie Lee is nervously waiting for $US200 to print!🤗
