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.

Ongoing CME margin hikes and impending Chinese export restrictions are driving significant volatility and intense debate around SLV. The community is sharply divided between those anticipating a continued silver squeeze fueled by industrial demand and those fearing market manipulation and a potential sharp pullback in the highly contested paper market.

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.

Karabelas in 2002 and is headquartered in Washington, DC.

Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc

Vanda Pharmaceuticals is trending after receiving FDA approval for NEREUS, its motion sickness drug, marking the first new medication in this category in nearly 40 years. The community is highly optimistic, anticipating its significant potential to address GLP-1 associated nausea and sparking strong speculation of a major pharmaceutical buyout. With several additional pipeline catalysts on the horizon, many view the stock as deeply undervalued and poised for substantial future upside.

Ekso Bionics Holdings Inc

Ekso Bionics is surging with immense trading volume following news of a proposed business combination with Applied Digital's cloud division, forming an AI compute platform called ChronoScale. This pivot into AI infrastructure, combined with the stock's low float, is driving aggressive price action and high price targets among community members. However, some discussions highlight potential significant dilution for existing shareholders, creating a divided outlook on its long-term implications amidst the short-term volatility.

The community is sharply divided; bulls emphasize the company's profitability and international growth potential as a long-term accumulation opportunity, drawing comparisons to early fintech successes. Conversely, bears highlight ongoing dilution and concerns over the stock's performance, questioning its fundamental value.

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. Many investors are captivated by its potential for significant growth, often drawing parallels to $PEPE due to shared creator involvement, while others vocalize skepticism and concerns about its trajectory. The project also garnered attention for recent charitable donations to a cat adoption center, reinforcing its community-centric meme coin identity.
