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.

Spot silver prices gained over 1.5% to about $54 per ounce, inching closer to the all-time highs of $54.47 per ounce.

Non-yielding bullion tends to thrive in low-interest-rate environments as a hedge against inflation.Safe-haven flows continued to arrive for precious metals as the trade dispute between the U.S. and China threatened another tariff war. However, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent assured that a scheduled meeting between President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, is still expected to take place in South Korea later this month.Silver’s Record RunSilver prices soared past $51.20 per ounce, the highest level since U.S. billionaires Hunt brothers attempted to squeeze the market. So far this year, silver has outperformed gold, with over 83% gains compared to gold's 56% surge.&nbsp;Silver’s recent leap has been driven by a supply shortage in London, as producers fail to keep up with demand. London stocks were also diminished earlier this year when gold and silver bars were rushed to the U.S. in anticipation of tariffs imposed by Trump.“Beyond safe-haven demand, diversification from the U.S. dollar and rate cut expectations, silver prices benefit from industrial demand, including solar panels and wind turbines. Supply has lagged demand over the past four years and is projected to continue this deficit through 2025,” said IG Bank analyst Fabien Yip.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/honeywell-projects-record-business-jet-deliveries-in-next-decade-which-stocks-could-benefit/ch6mgQeR3lm">Honeywell Projects Record Business Jet Deliveries In Next Decade: Which Stocks Could Benefit?</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
