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.

The Cosmos network consists of many independent, parallel blockchains, called zones, each powered by classical Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) consensus protocols like Tendermint. Some zones act as hubs with respect to other zones, allowing many zones to interoperate through a shared hub. The architecture uses classic BFT and Proof-of-Stake algorithms, instead of Proof-of-Work. Cosmos can interoperate with multiple other applications and cryptocurrencies, something other blockchains can’t do well. By creating a new zone, you can plug any blockchain system into the Cosmos hub and pass tokens back and forth between those zones, without the need for an intermediary.  While the Cosmos Hub is a multi-asset distributed ledger, there is a special native token called the atom. ATOM have three use cases: as a spam-prevention mechanism, as staking tokens, and as a voting mechanism in governance.  As a spam prevention mechanism, ATOM are used to pay fees. The fee may be proportional to the amount of computation required by the transaction, similar to Ethereum’s concept of “gas”. Fee distribution is done in-protocol and a protocol specification is described here.  As staking tokens, ATOM can be “bonded” in order to earn block rewards. The economic security of the Cosmos Hub is a function of the amount of ATOM staked. The more ATOM that are collateralized, the more “skin” there is at stake and the higher the cost of attacking the network. Thus, the more ATOM there are bonded, the greater the economic security of the network.  Atom holders may govern the Cosmos Hub by voting on proposals with their staked ATOM.

Cosmos

Cosmos (ATOM) is actively trending as its community discusses a significant tokenomics redesign proposal, aiming to shift towards a revenue-based model to enhance value accrual and address historical inflation concerns. Meanwhile, participants highlight ATOM's foundational role as the "Internet of Blockchains" and its attractive staking rewards, amidst broader conversations about altcoin season potential and general market movements.

They specifically say in the end, it will not affect the consideration payable to Company shareholders in connection with the Business Combination.

“The calculations are based upon an assumed TRC Exchange Ratio of 7.08320576 and an assumed reverse stock split of 8.14 to 1”

That was just an example.

So, before the RS the exchange ratio was 1 to 0.8705+.

The calculation above is 100 / 8.14 =  12.285  * 7.08320576 = 87.02

But they did a 5 to 1 RS, so the exchange ratio should be 4.3525 after the merger.

Now the above calculation would be 100 / 5 = 20 * 4.3525 = 87.05

The RS has been done, so part of that calculation is already done, now we concentrate on the * part.

Every now will exchange 1 for 4.3525 common shares.

if you buy 100 shares Monday, after the merger you should have 435.25, rounded down to 435.

So if you buy 100 @ $5.00, that is $500.

Those 100 shares should convert into 435 TREO common shares.

On paper, those shares are worth $10 each, so now you have $4,325 in common shares, for $500.

But that does not make sense. It is just how SPAC mergers work.

After the merger with a SPAC the commons usually fall quickly, because SPACs tend to overvalue the merger deal.

The valuation was done in 2024, public listed REEs are up 200% in 2025. They could have redone the valuation, and they considered it, but they decided to leave it, give current holders the added value.

The price may fall, but I feel at worst, it falls to $6 when it opens post merger, there is a chance it holds or rises.

Why would it rise? 

USAR merger to a SPAC in 2025, they are at $13.50 with a $2B market cap, and that is not even fully diluted . Tactical fully diluted is at $880M.

Tatcticsl is using tailing from a running mine. USAR has no mining going on, so they are years away.

One last thing to make it better clear.

Current Tactical share holders will split up something like 35m shares. So it did not matter the RS, because the exchange ratio would change to distribute the 35m evenly.

That is what they are saying, the RS will not affect the amount of shares we get in the end.

I said if you bought 100 Monday, you would have 435 post merger

Well, if they never did the reverse split…

If you had 500 share (500 divided by 5 equals 100) * 0.8705, that is 435.25

@SPACTrader110 thanks very much for the detailed explanation.one point though as I never held through such merger. Will the current listed Spac be traded as a new company and determine the trading price or a new company would be trading with a new discovered price, what is the criteria regarding that. Or is it that the Spac is the acquiring company and it will trade as such with a new name, but then why people or institutions are buying Spac rather USREF if there is so much valuation gap . Just some confusion for me!!

Will the current listed Spac be traded as a new company? Yes, Plum will change its name to Tactical Resources. The price after the merger will open around $10.

Why people or institutions are buying Spac rather USREF if there is so much valuation gap? Being honest, they are not buying Plum right now either. Basically less than 10,000 Plum shares have traded in the last 4 months. They both trade on the OTC, which institutions stay away from. For the longest time the Ask on Plum was like $18, no one was going to pay that for an OTC.

I bought USREF when it was $0.36 (pre RS), it rose to as high as $1.45, they would be $1.00 now. So people were buying it. On paper the shares were worth $8.70.

Most are just not going to invest in an OTC, it is for risk takers. We have all been burnt many times by OTC companies.

They have already petitioned to be listed on NASDAQ, and these SPACs to move to the OTC have always been granted back onto NASDAQ.
