The history of Litecoin is a bit of a hit-and-miss. At the end of 2013, the currency saw a sudden price jump, which ultimately peaked around US$50.27. At that time, that was an enormously high value for Litecoin, considering Bitcoin was worth less than that not too long prior. Unfortunately, it quickly became clear the price movement was not natural by any means. Instead, it was sheer manipulation by the Willy bot, which also impacted the Bitcoin price.
