With a simple Telegram or SMS message, lite.im users will be able to interact with the Litecoin blockchain, sending and receiving funds from anywhere in the world where a cellular signal can be found.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The idea will function beyond Telegram, it will be deployed to SMS messaging. However, because Telegram is seen as \u201cthe most trusted messaging platform within the cryptocurrency community\u201d, starting with the platform is equal to given the people the opportunity to manage their funds within an environment they are used to.<\/p>\n<p>Telegram also makes transacting in Litecoin as simple as possible for users, with programmable bot commands that require a minimum of user interaction to function.<\/p>\n<p>Zulu Republic sees Telegram as the most secure messenger in the world, denoting that privacy is built in by default. Telegram combined with the Litecoin blockchain amounts to an incredibly powerful payment environment.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the decision of the firm to use SMS came from the fact that not many countries have full internet support. Even in advanced countries, network fluctuation hinders urgent transactions. In that case, SMS is favourable.<\/p>\n<p>One of the many opportunities of Lite.im is that it makes it easy for those without Litecoin wallet to receive LTC. It also gives room to send LTC to people whose Litecoin wallet you do not know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cryptocurrency community has been preaching for mass adoption in recent time, now with the availability of Litecoin (LTC) on text message through Lite.im, we seem to be a step closer to our desired \u201ccryptocurrency for all\u201d goal.
