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 a polarized community, as many anticipate a significant breakout based on technical indicators and potential new features like Drivechains. However, other participants express concern over its perceived underperformance, often comparing its established 'digital silver' role to newer, high-throughput, compliance-focused blockchain infrastructures like Keeta. The ongoing discussion reflects a debate between its proven utility and the evolving demands of the broader crypto market.

The Stellar network is an open source, distributed, and community owned network used to facilitate cross-asset transfers of value. Stellar aims to help facilitate cross-asset transfer of value at a fraction of a penny while aiming to be an open financial system that gives people of all income levels access to low-cost financial services. Stellar can handle exchanges between fiat-based currencies and between cryptocurrencies. Stellar.org, the organization that supports Stellar, is centralized like XRP and meant to handle cross platform transactions and micro transactions like XRP. However, unlike Ripple, Stellar.org is non-profit and their platform itself is open source and decentralized.   Stellar was founded by Jed McCaleb in 2014. Jed McCaleb is also the founder of Mt. Gox and co-founder of Ripple, launched the network system Stellar with former lawyer Joyce Kim. Stellar is also a payment technology that aims to connect financial institutions and drastically reduce the cost and time required for cross-border transfers. In fact, both payment networks used the same protocol initially.  Distributed Exchange Through the use of its intermediary currency Lumens (XLM), a user can send any currency that they own to anyone else in a different currency.  For instance, if Joe wanted to send USD to Mary using her EUR, an offer is submitted to the distributed exchange selling USD for EUR. This submitted offer forms is known as an order book. The network will use the order book to find the best exchange rate for the transaction in-order to minimize the fee paid by a user.  This multi-currency transaction is possible because of "Anchors". Anchors are trusted entities that hold people’s deposits and can issue credit. In essence, Anchors serves as the bridge between different currencies and the Stellar network.  Lumens (XLM) Lumens are the native asset (digital currency) that exist on the Stellar network that helps to facilitate multi-currency transactions and prevent spams. For multi-currency transactions, XLM is the digital intermediary that allows for such a transaction to occur at a low cost.  In-order to prevent DoS attacks (aka spams) that would inevitably occur on the Stellar network, a small fee of 0.00001 XLM is associated with every transaction that occurs on the network. This fee is small enough so it does not significantly affect the cost of transaction, but large enough so it dissuades bad actors from spamming the network.   Prior to Protocol 12, Stellar had a built-in inflation mechanism conceived to allow account holders to collectively direct inflation-generated lumens toward projects built on Stellar.  As the network evolved and grew, it became increasingly clear that inflation wasn’t working as intended — account holders either didn’t set their inflation destination or joined inflation pools to claim the inflation themselves, and the operational costs associated with inflation payments continued to rise — and so a protocol change to disable inflation was proposed, implemented, voted on by validators, and ultimately adopted as part of a network upgrade.  The inflation operation is now deprecated. https://developers.stellar.org/docs/glossary/inflation/

Stellar Lumens

Stellar Lumens is trending due to surging institutional interest, highlighted by U.S. Bank's exploration of stablecoin issuance on its network and XLM's inclusion in new ETFs. The community is actively discussing the network's ongoing upgrades and its competitive standing against emerging high-performance, compliance-focused platforms. This collective focus is driving bullish sentiment, anticipating XLM's pivotal role in the evolving digital financial infrastructure.

Crown Castle (CCI) stock fell 1.7% in premarket trading on Tuesday after the company said Steven Moskowitz had been terminated as president and CEO.The communications-focused real estate investment trust (REIT) named Chief Financial Officer Dan Schlanger as interim chief executive, effective immediately.Crown Castle said its board has initiated a search for a successor and is retaining a leading executive search firm to assist in the process.The company said Schlanger will continue to serve as the company’s CFO until April 1, when former T-Mobile executive Sunit Patel will assume the role.The deal comes after Crown Castle said earlier this month that it would sell its small cells and fiber solutions businesses for a total of $8.5 billion to become a pure-play U.S. tower firm.The company launched a strategic review of the assets in December 2023 after activist investor Elliott Investment Management pushed for changes, citing the stock's underperformance.Its long-term CEO, Jay Brown, had also stepped down after Elliott publicly demanded a change in management.“Moskowitz’s termination was not a result of any disagreement regarding Crown Castle’s policies or financial performance and was not made for cause or related to any ethical or compliance concern,” the company said in a statement.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits declined to the ‘neutral’ (53/100) territory from ‘bullish’(57/100) a day ago, while retail chatter was ‘normal.’<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:884/192;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/CCI_March_25_resized_JPG_82e395a08c.webp" alt="CCI’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 04:16 a.m. ET on March 25, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits " width="884" height="192"><figcaption>CCI’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 04:16 a.m. ET on March 25, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits&nbsp;</figcaption></figure>Investors wondered why Moskowitz got fired.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/iNvEsTiNgiSEZ/message/609092572</stembedurl><stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/USAstockmarket/message/609104287</stembedurl><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/CCI">Crown Castle shares</a> have gained nearly 15% year-to-date (YTD). &nbsp;Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/enerpac-tool-group-falls-after-q2-profit-miss-cautious-outlook/ch7yShmRbdS">Enerpac Tool Group Falls After Q2 Profit Miss, Cautious Outlook: Retail Mood Dampens</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Welltower said it is acquiring the in-place properties at a substantial discount to the estimated replacement cost.The company said that the Amica assets have exhibited ‘significant pricing power’ with revenue per occupied room (RevPOR) growth, outperforming Welltower's overall senior residences portfolio over the past five years.“Against a backdrop of rapidly growing demand and limited new supply, we expect the portfolio to drive outsized revenue and cash flow growth in the coming years," CEO Shankh Mitra said.In addition to the 31 properties, Welltower would also buy seven properties currently under construction after achieving certificates of occupancy, which is expected to occur in stages between 2025 and 2027.The deal, including nine land parcels in affluent neighborhoods, is expected to close in the fourth quarter.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits stayed in the ‘bearish’ (36/100) territory, while retail chatter was ‘extremely low.’<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:802/177;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/WELL_MAR_2_78eee8ff41.JPG" alt="WELL’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 09:17 p.m. ET on March 2, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="802" height="177"><figcaption>WELL’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 09:17 p.m. ET on March 2, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>In January, Welltower agreed to buy NorthStar Healthcare Income, an owner of senior housing properties, in a deal valued at $900 million.The company had forecasted normalized funds from operations (FFO) between $4.79 and $4.95 per share in 2025, aided by strong growth in senior housing net operating income.Over the past year, <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/WELL">Welltower stock</a> has gained nearly 67%.1 Canadian dollar (C$) = $0.69Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/cars-com-stock-snags-another-price-target-cut/cheiyEBRzQ">Cars.com Stock Snags Another Price Target Cut As Sell-Side Wary About Execution: Retail Stays Confident</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
