Flappening
By Cryptomcmillan1 | Updated on May 24, 2020
Flappening is a term used to describe Litecoin growing bigger and becoming more valuable than Bitcoin Cash (BCH). It is spawned from the term Flippening (used when another crypto overtakes Bitcoin). Flappening is likely a term as the Litecoin community also circulates a meme called "Arise chikun(chicken)" to describe the rise in price of the coin.
