The Film – Why Litecoin's Journey
Litecoin: The Rise from Bitcoin’s Shadow is a 90 minute documentary that follows Earned Not Gifted — a man who saw Litecoin’s potential before almost anyone else.
He believed so hard he went all-in early… only to watch LTC get left behind in the 2021 bull run while everything else exploded. Broke and forced to restart, he walked into solar sales with nothing but grit and became the highest grossing solar salesman the industry had ever seen in 2023.
Then came the mysterious illness that nearly took his life. Against all odds he survived, launched a litecoin fund, moved to Puerto Rico — and when most would have quit — turned on a 24/7 livestream and started making music to keep the Litecoin dream alive.
Through his unfiltered stream we meet the people who kept the network alive when the world looked away:
- the creator of the first ever Litecoin podcast
- a young woman who is a rising star
- a Nigerian building his future on the lite hour
- developers who never stopped shipping
- a veteran now coaching kids and funding Asian orphanages with $LTC
- small scale miners who kept the lights on through every bear market
- a dad who disappears for months and returns when it matters
- hodlers from every corner of the planet
- and a mysterious, anonymous mentor
This is the story of a man who was counted out, almost died, rebuilt himself, and refused to let Litecoin stay in the shadows.
It’s the journey the Litecoin community has lived — and the film the world finally gets to see.
