The thing is, most cryptos just keep printing new tokens indefinitely. But Litecoin? That's different—it has a hard cap at 84 million coins, and that's it. No more after that.
Here's why this actually matters: when inflation is eating away at traditional money, having a truly limited asset becomes real valuable. A fixed supply means scarcity isn't just marketing talk—it's baked into the protocol itself. That's why people pay attention to coins with real caps, especially when central banks are running the money printer overtime.

An 84 million cap indeed fights inflation, but LTC's increase over the past few years has been far behind BTC, indicating that the market isn't buying it.

And the prisoner has 21 million coins, and for some reason, money is going to him.

The 84M cap is really attractive; it's much more reliable than those coins with unlimited printing.

84 million cap? Sounds good, but can it last until that day?

84 million cap? Now that's true anti-inflation, much more reliable than those crazy money-printing crappy coins.

The hard cap of 84 million tokens is indeed substantial, unlike some coins that constantly cut into investors and print tokens every day.

84 million caps, this is true scarcity, not just empty talk.
