Litecoin is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency created by Charlie Lee. It was created based on the Bitcoin protocol but differs in terms of the hashing algorithm used. Litecoin uses the memory intensive Scrypt proof of work mining algorithm. Scrypt allows consumer-grade hardware such as GPU to mine those coins.  Why Litecoin? Litecoin is a cryptocurrency that has evolved from Bitcoin after its own popularity in the industry, this alternative, or ‘altcoin’ has emerged to allow investors to diversify their digital currency package, according to Investopedia. Litecoin is one of the most prominent altcoins and was created by former Google employee and Director of Engineering at Coinbase, Charlie Lee. Litecoin was the first to alter Bitcoin and the most significant difference is that it takes 2.5 minutes for Litecoin to generate a block, or transaction, in comparison to Bitcoin's 10 minutes.  ‘While this matters little to traders, miners who use hardware to run Bitcoin's network cannot switch over to Litecoin. This keeps bigger mining conglomerates away from Litecoin because they cannot easily optimize their profits by swapping to another coin, contributing to a more decentralized experience. Litecoin also has bigger blocks, and more coins in circulation, making it more affordable and swift when transacting,’ Investopedia explained.  As explained above, Litecoin can transact a lot faster than Bitcoin, but there are also a number of other characteristics that investors need to know before trading. Litecoin can handle higher volumes of transactions because of the capability of transacting faster and if Bitcoin attempted to transact on the scale of its altcoin, a code update would be needed. However, Litecoin’s blocks would be larger, but with more ‘orphaned blocks'. The faster block time of litecoin reduces the risk of double spending attacks - this is theoretical in the case of both networks having the same hashing power.  Litecoin Technical Details: The transaction confirmation time taken for Litecoin is about 2.5 minutes on average (as compared to Bitcoin's 10 minutes). The Litecoin network is scheduled to cap at 84 million currency units.   Litecoin has inspired many other popular alternative currencies (eg. Dogecoin) because of its Scrypt hashing algorithm in order to prevent ASIC miners from mining those coins. However it is said that by the end of this year, Scrypt ASIC will enter the mass market.

Litecoin is trending as the community discusses its potential to break out and reclaim ground against BTC and ETH.

$KAR unclear to me why they don&#39;t spin-off the AFC business into its own publicly traded vehicle. It has a separate brand -- Openlane vs AFC -- and the valuation multiple on the combined entity is very poor vs other asset-light market place businesses. Peter Kelly talks about synergy, but the Openlane/AFC wear different outfits in the field etc. Could spin out AFC with a special partnership i.e., give some special benefit to Openlane buyers who use AFC. I don&#39;t think they need to be under the same corporate umbrella. They sell 1.5 million cars per year -- plenty to be a stand-alone market place. 
 
Lots of volume on the October 30c? Odd.

$KAR held that Investor Day in November 2024 to specifically focus on the AFC business. 
 
Clearly they think there is a disconnect with the AFC valuation... 
 
Two separate types of investors -- tech/growth investors and value/financial services investors.

also unclear to me: 
 
where is OPENLANE coming up with the $560 million needed to cash out the 53% preferred shares? 
 
As of June 30 they had 120 million cash and 410 million in borrowing capacity re revolving credit line 
 
so ... 
 
raise new debt?

KAR can operate with very little cash given the float inherent in the business model and they will probably generate another 90-100 million FCF this quarter, so probably nearing $200 million cash + $410 million borrowing capacity.... 
 
will they go out and issue a 500 million bond? 
 
the preferred shares were really a expensive cost of capital but I guess it was needed in May 2020 when KAR was in pretty bad shape and uncertainty re lockdowns with huge debt before ADESA sale to Carvana.
