In this chapter, we discussed the creation of our own cryptocurrency, since we had already discussed the creation of tokens based on the Ethereum platform in Chapter 15, Ethereum Development. In this chapter, we worked on the creation of our own blockchain, by taking a fork of Litecoin, and then making the required changes to create the desired coin with the relevant parameters.
In the following chapters, we will address both sides of the coin in terms of blockchain's future, that is, scalability and other challenges that blockchain is facing. Furthermore, we will discuss the future of blockchain, and how it is going to shape the future of the internet and technology, not just in terms of currency-based industries, but also in terms of other industries in which blockchain acts as a game changer.
