Litecoin is removing barriers to mass usage.  A new plugin released by Coinbase will simplify the process in which merchants accept the cryptocurrency payments online.

It is now possible to trade Litecoin over Telegram, an encrypted messenger app. Telegram users can send commands to check their LTC balance and send LTC to a wallet or email ID.

LTC transactions will soon be enabled via text messages so that customers with a poor internet connection can trade the crypto.
