The Marriage Between Litecoin (LTC) and Dogecoin (DOGE)

Everyone is talking about dogecoin these days, but a lot of people don't know that DOGE, for a very long time, have been running in parallel with LTC. Back in 2014, Charlie Lee of the Litecoin Foundation and the DOGE community made an agreement to dual-mine in order to help the two projects support each other during its initial phases. And it worked. Big time, in fact.

Litecoin is known for its non-flashiness (they don't really do much media PR so not many people know about them), preferring to stick to the nuts and bolts of making the system work. Dogecoin, on the other hand, is...well, Dogecoin. But the collaboration between the two opposites are what made it work, I would argue.
