"As part of Litecoin's coin issuance, miners are rewarded a certain amount of litecoins whenever a block is produced (approximately every 2.5 minutes). When Litecoin first started, 50 litecoins per block were given as a reward to miners. After every 840,000 blocks are mined (approximately every 4 years), the block reward halves and will keep on halving until the block reward per block becomes 0 (approximately by year 2142). As of now, the block reward is 6.25 coins per block and will decrease to 3.125 coins per block post halving."

"Litecoin was designed as a deflationary currency. Like gold, the premise is that over time, the issuance of litecoins will decrease and thus become scarcer over time. As litecoins become scarcer and if demand for them increases over time, Litecoin can be used as a hedge against inflation as the price, guided by price equilibrium is bound to increase. On the flip side, fiat currencies (like the US dollar), inflate over time as its monetary supply increases, leading to a decrease in purchasing power. This is known as monetary debasement by inflation. A simple example would be to compare housing prices decades ago to now and you'll notice that they've increased over time!"

"Since we know Litecoin's issuance over time, people can rely on programmed/controlled supply. This is helpful to understand what the current inflation rate of Litecoin is, what the future inflation rate will be at a specific point in time, how many litecoins are in circulation and how many remain left to be mined."

"The network itself controls the issuance of litecoins, derived by consensus through all Litecoin participants. Ever since Litecoin was first designed, the following consensus rules exist to this day:"
