Litecoin is one of the original cryptocurrencies. We could call it a First Generation cryptocurrency alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, XRP and if you want to stretch it some, maybe Dash and Bitcoin Cash.

While your Bitcoin and Dogecoin shredded, MARV, GMX, CYBN, GLM, GMTN, and PINK doubled: Diversify, children!
Who’s a boomer now, Dogetards? For a few months there, a legion of newly minted investors, convinced they invented daytrading with their stimulus cheques and chicken tendies, watched their $500 investments run to new heights, taking AMC Cinemas (AMC.Q) to a $28 billion valuation, and driving Bitcoin and Dogecoin to stupid new highs.

Deciphering Cryptocurrency: surviving the winter
There is lots of speculation about why Bitcoin is up this week ranging from an insecure reaction to Trump’s trade war with China, to new big names now accepting cryptocurrency. It’s too early to tell if this is the end of the crypto-winter or whether we’ll look back on this week as a type of…
