Litecoin makes its own difference, which is cheap, fast, and practical because mining to get Litecoin can use the Windows, Linux, macOS, and other operating systems so it will be easier to mine Litecoin than mining Bitcoin.
In fourth place is XRP or previously known as Ripple. This XRP or Ripple Coin is a Cryptocurrency released in 2012 where XRP is designed using a system that is not the same as the system design in Bitcoin.
