Dog (Bitcoin) is a fully decentralized memecoin on the Bitcoin blockchain, backed by a community dedicated to onboarding millions of people to Bitcoin.  Dog is secured by the Bitcoin blockchain and exists on Bitcoin L1, marking a significant innovation compared to Bitcoin with just BTC. Dog is a Bitcoin Runes token with a minimal on-chain footprint, native to Bitcoin, and stored in UTXOs, just like Bitcoin.   What is the project about?  Dog does not do any paid promotion and is fully decentralized just like Bitcoin. Every influencer who chooses to post about Dog either received the airdrop or bought on secondary. Dog leverages the CC0 license to ensure that Dog is not owned by any single entity but rather by everyone. This had lead to the "DOG Army" independently creating art, apps, lotteries, plushies, websites, podcast, magazines, X account, IRL meetups, clothing lines, PFP collections, Telegram groups, and TikTok/Instagram about Dog.  What makes your project unique?  Dog was airdropped in the fairest memecoin launch ever. In early 2024, the Bitcoin Ordinals ecosystem came together in a full volunteer initiative that rewarded early adopters of the Ordinals Protocol. There was no team allocation, and 100% of the supply was airdropped for free. The airdrop algorithm favored neither whales nor influencers; it was determined by the community and made open-source for maximum transparency.

Dog (Bitcoin)

DOG is trending as its dedicated 'DOG Army' passionately advocates for its position as the leading Bitcoin-native memecoin, highlighting its unique permanence and direct link to Bitcoin's infrastructure. Community discussion is amplified by news of companies like C2 Blockchain ($CBLO) significantly expanding their $DOG treasury holdings, signaling growing institutional interest and long-term conviction.

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.

If prices hold near current levels, Bitcoin would post a negative annual return in a post-halving year — something that has never happened across previous halving cycles.On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around Bitcoin remained in ‘bearish’ territory over the past day, even as chatter rose to ‘normal’ from ‘low’ levels.<h2 class="st-heading-2">What A Bitcoin Halving Means For Markets</h2>A Bitcoin halving is a protocol-driven event that cuts the block reward paid to miners in half, reducing the rate at which new Bitcoin enters circulation. Halvings occur roughly every four years and are designed to enforce Bitcoin’s fixed supply cap of 21 million coins.The year following a halving, called the post-halving year,&nbsp; has historically delivered some of Bitcoin’s strongest returns, driven by tightening supply and rising demand. Bitcoin halvings took place in 2012, 2016, 2020, and most recently in 2024.In the first post-halving year after 2012, Bitcoin surged more than 5,000%, fueled by early adoption and a small market base. The 2016 cycle produced gains exceeding 1,100% amid the ICO boom that pushed Bitcoin toward $20,000. After the 2020 halving, Bitcoin rose roughly 60% from January to December, then reached an all-time high near $69,000.<h2 class="st-heading-2">The 2025 Cycle Breaks From History</h2>The current post-2024 halving cycle has unfolded differently. Bitcoin climbed to a peak near $126,000 earlier this year before pulling back sharply.Market watchers like Strategy’s Michael Saylor, Cathie Wood, and Fundstrat’s Tom Lee have also pointed out that the four-year cycle&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/bitcoin-steadies-at-122-000-analyst-proclaims-btc-s-4-year-halving-cycle-is-dead/ch67jksR30r">no longer applies</a>.

The two words, the two most important words in the universe – don’t panic!”&nbsp;— Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman, Strategy</blockquote><h2 class="st-heading-2">Saylor Pushes Back On Quantum Computing Alarmism</h2>Saylor compared the fear around quantum risk to past doomsday narratives designed to drive funding into startups rather than reflect an imminent technological threat.Saylor said that if quantum computing ever poses a credible risk to cryptography, the response will be obvious and coordinated. Governments, technology giants, and financial institutions would move together to upgrade encryption standards across software and hardware systems. “When that happens, you’ll know,” he said, pointing to firms such as Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet’s Google (GOOG/GOOGL), and major governments as early adopters of any real cryptographic transition.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Bitcoin Can Upgrade, Lost Coins May Raise Scarcity</h2>Bitcoin, Saylor argued, would be no exception. Because the network is software-based, it can be upgraded. Wallets would migrate to quantum-resistant encryption, and the protocol would adapt alongside the rest of the digital economy. The process, he said, would likely strengthen Bitcoin rather than weaken it.One possible consequence, according to Saylor, could be the permanent loss of coins tied to inactive or inaccessible wallets. Bitcoin that cannot be upgraded would effectively be frozen out of the network, creating what he described as a deflationary event. “The price of Bitcoin will increase, the security of Bitcoin will increase,” he said, framing the outcome as net positive for long-term holders.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Why ‘Don’t Panic’ Is Good Advice</h2>Saylor warned that panic itself creates risk. He likened fear-driven messaging around quantum threats to phishing attacks that rely on urgency and confusion to extract sensitive information. He stated that transformative technology is always doubted before being widely adopted – and panic is usually the wrong response.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/bitcoin">Bitcoin’s price</a> edged 0.9% lower in early morning trade on Tuesday to around $87,600.
