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

Litecoin is actively trending, with its community demonstrating strong conviction and calling to 'hold' amidst current market volatility, anticipating a significant breakout. Many perceive it as 'digital silver' poised for substantial long-term growth, with discussions highlighting its foundational role and developments like LitVM and Omnichain features for earning yield.

Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency based on the popular "Doge" Internet meme and features a Shiba Inu on its logo. Dogecoin is a Litecoin fork. Introduced as a "joke currency" on 6 December 2013, Dogecoin quickly developed its own online community and reached a capitalization of US$60 million in January 2014. Compared with other cryptocurrencies, Dogecoin had a fast initial coin production schedule: 100 billion coins were in circulation by mid-2015, with an additional 5.256 billion coins every year thereafter. As of 30 June 2015, the 100 billionth Dogecoin had been mined.   Dogecoin was created by Billy Markus from Portland, Oregon and  Jackson Palmer from Sydney, Australia. Both wanted to create a fun cryptocurrency that will appeal beyond the core Bitcoin audience. Dogecoin is primarily used as a tipping system on Reddit and Twitter where users tip each other for creating or sharing good content. The community is very active in organising fundraising activities for deserving causes.  The developers of Dogecoin haven’t made any major changes to the coin since 2015. This means that Dogecoin could get left behind and is why Shibas are leaving Dogecoin to join more advanced platforms like Ethereum. One of Dogecoin strengths is its relaxed and fun-loving community. However, this is also a weakness because other currencies are way more professional.  To purchase Dogecoin, it involves downloading a crypto wallet, setting up a crypto exchange account and then trading away for your desired crypto currency. Once we have set up an account with a DOGE currency exchange and deposited some funds, you are ready to start trading.

Dogecoin

Dogecoin is trending as investors anticipate a potential rebound with the close of year-end tax loss selling, coupled with ongoing speculation about Elon Musk's future actions regarding X payments. The community shows a strong divide, with many asserting its status as the 'King meme coin' and envisioning significant price appreciation, while others express skepticism about its immediate trajectory.

This committed base is consistently building out an ecosystem with projects like RageMaker and RageGames, aiming to onboard new users into crypto while expressing strong conviction for significant long-term growth and widespread recognition, often positioning themselves against other meme coins for the top trending spot.

Featured in Matt Furies latest book Cortex Vortex as Ratos nemesis. The character is also part of ZOGZ which confirms its real name.  Matt Furie, the artist best known for creating Pepe the Frog, has been working on a new book. The news comes from his editor, who goes by the handle @beuys_on_sale_ on Instagram. In a recent post, the editor hinted at an upcoming project featuring new characters named Gasspas and Rato. Gasspas’s visual appearance can be inferred from the artwork. In one illustration, Gasspas is depicted looming over two rats (Rato and Wat), gazing down at them in a menacing way (an image that has circulated among collectors). This inferred that Gasspas is Ratos nemesis in the new book Cortex Vortex reinforced by community quips that “cats eat rats”. Gasspas debuted as part of ZOGZ, a collection of 111 original NFT character illustrations by Matt Furie launched in May 2023.

Gasspas

Gasspas ($GASS) is trending amidst active community discussion, fueled by recent visibility on Dextools and strong 'HODL' sentiment.

Are Wall Street Analysts Bullish on Norwegian Cruise Line Stock?

Despite Norwegian Cruise Line’s underperformance relative to the broader market over the past year, Wall Street analysts maintain a moderately bullish outlook about the stock’s prospects.

Shares of Carnival Corp (CCL) fell 1.2% on Friday, after the cruise line operator struck a cautious tone for the business this year partly due to potential disruption from President Donald Trump's trade tariffs.The reaction came despite strong first-quarter results and a raise in the company's forecast for full-year earnings, which also powered a positive outlook on the company's shares among retail investors on Stocktwits.CEO Josh Weinstein said Carnival was "not completely immune from the heightened macroeconomic and geopolitical volatility."In recent months, Trump has raised tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada and imports of steel and aluminum, opening the United States up to reciprocal tariffs. These tariffs could disrupt trade and lead to higher prices for U.S. consumers.Carnival now expects adjusted earnings of about $1.83 per share for FY25, up from its previous projection of about $1.70."This raise incorporates our increased first-quarter yield results and reduced interest expense thanks to our recent successful refinancings," Weinstein said.The company meanwhile delivered strong results for its first quarter, which ended in February, thanks to robust demand and higher onboard spending by customers.Revenue rose to $5.81 billion from $5.41 billion, topping a consensus estimate of $5.75 billion from LSEG/Reuters.Carnival's adjusted earnings per share was $0.13 compared with an estimate of $0.02.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment notched higher in the ‘bullish’ territory.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:937/225;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2025_03_24_at_8_04_55_AM_png_6815aab362.webp" alt="Screenshot 2025-03-24 at 8.04.55 AM.png" width="937" height="225"><figcaption>CCL sentiment and message volume as of March 21, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>A user posted that they expect Carnival shares to go above $30, while another said the stock was "way" oversold.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/meijiagustin/message/608943657</stembedurl><stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Davruns/message/608935124</stembedurl>Shares&nbsp;of the company closed Friday&nbsp;at $20.94, down about 16% year to date.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Carnival Signals Caution Over Macro Uncertainty But Raises Annual Profit Forecast; Retail Mood Glows

"This raise incorporates our increased first-quarter yield results and reduced interest expense thanks to our recent successful refinancings," CEO Josh Weinstein said.

Cash from operations is expected to be 20.5% lower at $1.41 billion.Shares of Carnival were up 0.24% in premarket trading on Thursday, after closing 4.6% higher at $21.05 a day prior.Cruise operators, including Carnival, Royal Caribbean Group (RCL), and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH), reported broadly strong revenue and profit growth last year, driven by robust demand and higher pricing.According to their latest commentary, these companies have strong advanced bookings for 2025, indicating positive trends for the sector.In its Q4 results published in December, Miami, Florida-based Carnival reported quarterly revenue of $5.94 billion and adjusted profit of $0.14, beating Wall Street expectations on both parameters.Following the report, Morgan Staley raised the price target on the stock to $22 from $20 and Truist bumped it by $1 to $30. They have ‘underweight’ and 'hold' ratings, respectively, on the stock.Currently, more than half of the analysts have a 'hold' rating on the stock, with an average price target of $21.05, according to Kiyfin data.On Stockwits, the sentiment among retail investors improved slightly but held in the 'neutral' territory.Several users posted assumptions that Carnival will report better-than-expected results and the stock will trade higher.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/RunwithMoney15/message/608550130</stembedurl><stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Getmoney305/message/608543190</stembedurl>Last week, Barclays said the recent selloff in cruise line stocks was overdone, according to Investing.com.&nbsp;The research firm recommended Royal Caribbean and Carnival, which it said benefit from "drive-to mix and most attractive/inherent value propositions to the consumer."Carnival shares ended Wednesday at $21.05, down 15.5% year to date.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Norwegian Cruise Line has outperformed the broader market over the past year, and analysts are moderately optimistic about the stock’s prospects.

Shares of Carnival Corp. (CCL) rose nearly 0.4% pre-market on Tuesday after the company’s <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/ccl-stock-dips-after-earnings-retail-stays-bullish/c76dXtiR3B">Q3 earnings report</a> sparked mixed reactions.On Monday, the stock initially dropped more than 6% but pared some losses to close slightly in the red after a softer-than-expected forecast for current-quarter net yields and profits overshadowed a profit beat and record quarterly revenue, dampening market sentiment.Despite the cautious outlook, Carnival raised its full-year profit guidance for the third time this year and lifted its net yield forecast to 10.4%, up from 10.25%.Barclays raised its price target on Carnival to $26 from $25, representing about 40% upside from current levels, while maintaining an ‘Overweight’ rating.The brokerage noted that while the Q3 results didn’t meet all expectations, strong demand and positive commentary keep Carnival’s 2025 outlook intact.Morgan Stanley also adjusted its price target, raising it to $16.50 from $15, but stuck with an ‘Underweight’ rating.The brokerage increased its EPS forecasts for FY24, FY25, and FY26 but expressed concerns about Carnival’s asset-heavy model and high financial leverage, which could make it more vulnerable to a potential slowdown compared to other travel names.Carnival has made progress on reducing its pandemic-era debt, which ballooned from $11.5 billion in 2019 to $34.5 billion in 2022. Since then, the company has reduced its debt by $5 billion.But on Monday, CEO Josh Weinstein expressed confidence in the company’s future, pointing to “enhanced commercial execution” and strong booking momentum, positioning Carnival for a solid 2025 and beyond.<figure class="image"><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/CCL"><img style="aspect-ratio:1314/320;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/CCL_sentiment_and_message_volume_Oct_1_f412f043e2.png" alt="CCL sentiment and message volume Oct 1.png" width="1314" height="320"></a><figcaption>CCL sentiment and message volume Oct 1 pre-market</figcaption></figure>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment surged to ‘extremely bullish’ (95/100) levels, nearing the highest point this year, with a 36% spike in message volume.One user commented on the bullish outlook, noting the stock’s recovery and positive future trend.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Davruns/message/587589067</stembedurl>Another user looked ahead to a higher target price.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/2023andbeyond/message/587617901</stembedurl>Shares of Carnival are up over 6% year-to-date, as of Monday’s close, compared to Norwegian Cruise Line’s (NCLH) 12% gain and Royal Caribbean’s (RCL) 47% surge. &nbsp;
