“Litecoin, which bills itself as the ‘silver’ to Bitcoin’s gold and is often accepted by retailers taking Bitcoin, surpassed $US1 months ago and now stands at $US24. But many lesser-known currencies have broken through the $US1 threshold. While Litecoin has the second-largest market cap behind Bitcoin, it is Mastercoin, a cryptocurrency created in October that integrates with Bitcoin’s core protocol to make it safer as well as more flexible, that is now the second-most-valuable alt-coin. One Mastercoin is now worth $US180.25.”
