Crypto News Flash: Tron (TRX), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Stellar (XLM), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Dogecoin (DOGE)

Here’s a quick look at some of the stories breaking in the world of crypto.

Litecoin and Tron

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

For some reason, this reminds me of the time when AOL bought Time Warner. https://t.co/9MIjKXnTA8

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.

EOS

EOS block producers have frozen seven accounts.

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.

At 09:56 UTC (1 hour ago) we had an alert with transactions frozen on the EOS network globally. All the BPs are aware. We are all on a call with the other BPs to identify and resolve this issue. No timelines yet. #eosio #mainnet
