In a recent tweet, Litecoin’s Charlie Lee compared Tron’s purchase of BitTorrent to new media (AOL) buying old media (Time Warner).

Lee added that “AOL buying TimeWarner at the height of the internet bubble was very smart for AOL. They used their bubble valuation to purchase something that had a solid business model. It was also new media buying up old media. That’s the parallel I see. So not hating on Tron.”

So far Tron and its founder Justin Sun have remained quiet on the potential use cases for the BitTorrent platform.

Meanwhile, Tron’s token swap is imminent, and Cryptopia just announced it will support the process.

Charlie Lee also released the full schedule of the upcoming Global Litecoin Summit in San Francisco where RSK Labs, Lightning Labs and the Litecoin Team will host a panel of crypto pros who will speak about the future of Litecoin.

EOS

The action was a unanimous decision by the 21 block producers as the seven accounts were suspected of carrying stolen funds. The move is igniting a debate on positives and negatives of immutability of blockchain.
