The trading of Litecoin on the world’s exchanges began at the end of July, 2012, and during that year and prior to April, 2013, the LitecoinCT r: 71 price hadn’t exceeded 10 cents, and wasn't in special demand.
The history of Litecoin’s price
Everything changed in March, 2013 when Litecoin suddenly began growing and reached $4.49 in the beginning of April, 2013. Staring in disbelief, a lot of traders sold their coin on April 10, 2013 at $4.49. Probably, those who sold their Litecoin on March 2-3, 2013 at the price of $0.07 - $0.09 were very upset.
Almost during the whole of 2013 Litecoin was falling from the top of $4.49, and by October, 2013, one Litecoin was priced at $1.7-$2. However, since the beginning of November the rapid growth, which continued throughout the whole of November, began. The peak which hasn’t been surpassed till now either was reached in the beginning of December. Traders who bought Litecoin in those days for a price of $42.97 (December 5, 2013) will have to wait for a long time to close the transaction with profit.
