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.

Boeing Faces Prolonged Strike As St. Louis Workers Reject Third Contract Proposal: Report

According to Bloomberg News, some St. Louis workers noted that the company's offer and an earlier 2022 agreement don’t go far enough toward reversing their losses from a 2014 contract.

Equity

Boeing (BA) CEO Kelly Ortberg said that the company is still running behind schedule in the certification process of the newest model of its long-haul 777 family.The stock slipped 3.3% on Thursday, the seventh successive day of decline. Retail chatter also jumped over 200% as Ortberg flagged delays in the rollout of the 777x model, which has already cost Boeing billions of dollars.Ortberg said that ‘a mountain of work’ is still there before the certification, but the aircraft has not faced any new technical challenges. “Even a minor schedule delay on the 777 program has a pretty big financial impact because we're in a reach-forward loss situation,” he said at the Morgan Stanley Laguna conference.The aircraft was initially slated to enter service in 2020, but Boeing does not expect to deliver it to customers before next year.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BA">Boeing</a> was in the ‘bullish’ territory at the time of writing.However, Ortberg assured that the company still plans to raise its 737 MAX production to 42 per month by the end of the year from the 38 it is allowed to produce by the Federal Aviation Administration. “I don't see the supply chain challenges for us,” Ortberg said, which might prevent it from boosting output.The 737 MAX is the company’s best-selling jet, and Boeing needs to ramp up output soon to turn profitable. Ortberg said Boeing still intends to certify the 737-7 and 737-10 models by next year, and it is frustrating that it took the company so long to complete the process.Ortberg, who took charge last year, added that it has boosted its 787 production rate from five per month to seven, and intends to raise it to eight per month in the near future.“I suspect that it will jump, however, because all this today was uncalled for,” one Stocktwits user said on Boeing’s stream.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Sofia123/message/628408327</stembedurl>“Soon some will kick themselves for not buying at $221, total steal,” another user wrote.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/BlueFir/message/628415463</stembedurl>Boeing stock has gained 23.4% this year. Earlier this week, the company reached a tentative agreement with members of the IAM union to end a five-week-long strike at its defense manufacturing facilities in the St. Louis area. The workers are expected to vote on the contract on Friday.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/freeport-mc-mo-ran-s-giant-copper-mine-in-indonesia-remains-shut/chw819KRdwn">Freeport-McMoRan’s Giant Copper Mine In Indonesia Remains Shut As Search For Missing Workers Continues</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Boeing (BA) stock edged higher in premarket trading on Thursday after the company reached a tentative deal with striking union members to end a five-week-long strike.The stock has been on a six-day losing streak and fell around 0.9% to $227.52 in the previous session, remaining slightly below its 52-week high of $242.69.As per the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, workers are expected to vote on the five-year contract on Friday.Over 3,200 Boeing workers with the IAM union in St. Louis and St. Charles in Missouri, and Mascoutah, Illinois, went on strike in August after rejecting a modified four-year labor agreement. The union members manufacture and assemble fighter jets, such as the F-15 and F/A-18, as well as other critical defense programs.“We’ve found a path forward on a five-year contract offer that grows wages by 45% on average," Boeing Defense Vice President Dan Gillian said, according to a Reuters News<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.reuters.com/business/world-at-work/boeing-defense-union-reach-tentative-deal-end-strike-st-louis-area-2025-09-10/"> report.</a> "It remains the best deal we’ve ever offered to IAM 837, and we encourage our team to vote yes so we can get back to work building amazing products for our customers.”Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BA">Boeing</a> was in the ‘bearish’ territory at the time of writing.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:801/99;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/BA_Sept_11_JPG_ca978a3724.webp" alt="BA-Sept 11.JPG" width="801" height="99"><figcaption>BA’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 04:37 a.m. ET on Sept 11, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>If the fresh contract is ratified, Boeing workers will get a 24% general wage increase over five years and a $4,000 signing bonus, among other terms. Its earlier offer would have seen worker wages go up by 20% and included $5,000 bonus. The deal would have raised compensation by 40% on average, as Boeing had noted previously.A successful resolution will clear another hurdle for the planemaker that is looking for a turnaround under CEO Kelly Ortberg following a tumultuous 2024, where it was forced to cut back on production after a mid-air incident involving its flagship 737 Max jet, as well as a crippling strike at its commercial planemaking facilities.“Only positive catalysts going forward,” one Stocktwits user posted on Boeing’s stream.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/Sofia123/message/628255811</stembedurl>Boeing stock has gained 27.6% this year.

Senator Ted Cruz reportedly said on Wednesday that it is imperative for the U.S. to win against China in the race for artificial intelligence, 6G, the Arctic, and getting back on the moon. “If they get to the moon before us, if they seize the prime strategic real estate on the moon, I think that moment would be worse than Sputnik,” he said during an&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dK3taoZ57V0">interview</a> with CNBC while talking about his new bill to reduce regulatory burden facing AI companies. The proposal would require the federal government to create a contained and secure testing area for AI software, known as a regulatory sandbox.“The stakes are enormous,” he&nbsp;added, noting that China has a target to land its astronauts on the moon by 2030. “$9.5 billion in the One Big Beautiful Bill was allocated to fund a U.S. return to the moon.”He added that other provisions in the bill are designed to help the U.S. compete with China across multiple strategic areas. This includes deploying 800 MHz of spectrum for advanced communications and investing $24 billion in Arctic capabilities such as coast guard vessels and polar icebreakers, where he warned that China is currently outpacing the United States.The&nbsp;<a href="http://stocktwits.com/symbol/ITA">iShares US Aerospace and Defense ETF (ITA)</a> edged 0.76% higher in morning trade as the broader market also trended higher after the producer price index (PPI) report on Wednesday indicated that inflation may be contained, increasing optimism that the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates soon.

Boeing offered a general wage increase of 38% over four years to end the strike.Boeing stock has gained 31.7% this year, aided by a strong backlog and improvement in production.

Cathay Pacific said on Wednesday that it would buy 14 Boeing widebody jets for about $8 billion to boost its fleet after posting a rise in profit in the first half of the year.The Hong Kong-based airline said it expects to receive the 777-9 airplanes by 2034 and has received significant discounts from the planemaker. It will also have the option to purchase seven more Boeing wide-body jets.Cathay said that the order came as the company exercised its option to purchase the aircraft under a 2013 agreement. The airline now has 35 777X orders on its books, making it one of the largest operators of the wide-body aircraft in the world.“Designed to reduce fuel use and emissions on average by 20% and noise by 40% compared to the airplanes it replaces, the 777-9 will enable Cathay Pacific to efficiently meet growing air travel demand across key global markets,” Boeing said in a statement.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BA">Boeing</a> was in the ‘bearish’ territory at the time of writing.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:728/85;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/BA_Aug_6_JPG_2f36f1c40c.webp" alt=" BA’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 02:47 a.m. ET on Aug. 6, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="728" height="85"><figcaption> BA’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 02:47 a.m. ET on Aug. 6, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>The 777-9 is the latest version in the 777 series and is yet to be certified by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration.

Defensive ETFs to Gain Attention Amid Soft Jobs Data?

Weaker July jobs data and sharp revisions fuel rate cut bets and shine a light on five defensive ETFs like QQLV.

Boeing (BA) stock caught the attention of retail traders late Sunday as the planemaker braces for a workers’ strike at its fighter jet-making facilities for the first time since 1996.Over 3,200 Boeing workers in St. Louis and St. Charles in Missouri, and Mascoutah, Illinois, voted to reject a modified four-year labor agreement with the aerospace giant, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers union said on Sunday.“IAM District 837 members have spoken loud and clear, they deserve a contract that reflects their skill, dedication, and the critical role they play in our nation’s defense,” said union representative Tom Boelling.
