Titans, Behemoths, Oligarchs, and Multi-Nationals.
Is Tron the company to bring the cryptosphere into another galaxy? Maybe so..
And you can’t talk about Tron without talking about Justin Sun first!
Whose Justin Sun? Justin Sun is the face of Tron, an omnipotent figurehead in a way, and he’s kinda a big deal.. Let’s dive into Tron first real quick.
Tron is the self-proclaimed white knight saving us from the centralization of the web, and ushering us into Web 4.0. What does this mean?
It appears their goal is to create decentralized platforms for video, music, entertainment, and games so creators can get paid fairly.
Is this a big deal? Maybe.
Justin Sun doesn’t shy away from a fight, and in a way his recent statements between Charlie Lee and himself, reminds me of the months leading up to Floyd and McGregor. The big question is which fighter is Tron? Need proof Mr. Justin Sun doesn’t back down from a fight? Keep Reading..
Charlie of Litecoin tweeted something about Tron having no substance and all hype. He says he was talking about the movie of course ;)
Do I buy it? Not one bit.
In fact, I tweeted a response to Charlie and he said he wasn’t talking about Tron the coin. Bad timing? Bad Phrasing? Coincidence? I’m not so sure. Check out his tweet below, my response, and his.
()
Feels like there is some trolling going on.
Now its a joke… Nerdge didn’t think it was.
Well regardless if Charlie was just trolling or genuinely innocent of the troll, Mr. Sun didn’t think it was funny. Check out his response below.
Justin is not laying down..
BOOOM! Now Charlie is turning trigger fingers into Twitter fingers.
WOW!
Well, I think, for Charlie “claiming” to have no opinions about Tron he absolutely does have some strong opinions about Tron now.
Twitter War Initiated! Is this Meek and Drake beef all over? Is Justin Drake or Meek? Only time will tell.
()
Whose Drake and Whose Meek?
But if for the sake of the argument assume Justin is Drake, then that would make his mentor Jack Ma of Alibaba his Birdman.
()
Hmmm.
You see every young star needs a mentor, and like Drake had his mentorship with Birdman. Justin has had his with Jack Ma, except Jack Ma is worth Billions. You see, Justin Sun went to the prestigious Jack Ma Hupan University, and was the only millennial invited to attend.
Yes.
Before Hupal university, Justin Sun went to the University of Pennsylvania. That pedigree alone should erase the massive FUD occurring against Tron right now on Reddit, view it here where a Reddit user is calling Tron a scam.
I have yet to find one good argument in that thread that hasn’t been countered in my article — feel free to leave a comment if you have any feedback.
But if Justin’s prestigious background isn’t enough. Let’s connect some dots. It’s a pretty exciting rabbit hole..
Justin Sun was a representative for Ripple in China early on, yeah that Ripple. The same Ripple which is now the second biggest coin by market cap in the world now.
People are saying that Justin knows nothing about Blockchain, I think the people at Ripple might disagree.
The next interesting point is the Ali Baba connection, and the recent announcements of developers heading to Tron en-masse from Alibaba, their head of tech Lucien Chen, brings another twist to the story.
Who s Lucien Chen? Well, he not only headed tech teams at Alibaba he led teams at Tencent as well. Wait! Whose Tencent? Tencent is a global internet multi-national company, ranked 5th in the world in revenue and is publicly traded in Hong Kong.
Yeah? But I thought Alibaba and Tencent were competitors? Well.. they are, but they collaborate on projects sometimes just as Samsung and Apple do.
Tencent? Ok, so whats significant about that? Well get to that in a second, but lets first talk about the huge interest in China for Tron and the coming Clash of Kings, that viral game, remember that? Check out the Forbes article below where Justin was listed as a Forbes 30 Under 30.
Interest in TRON is running on high as it is already showing the same magnitude and growth path as Chinese e-> commerce giant Alibaba, gaining the financial backing and seals of approval from some of the biggest business names in the world. Well, in China to be precise.
The list of protagonists include Tang Binsen, the founder of Clash of Kings; Dai Wei, the founder and CEO of OFO bike, one of the largest sharing economy companies in China; Chaoyong Wang, founder of China Equity Group, one of the largest investment groups in China with market value of over $2 billion (bn); Yin Mingshan, LiFan group founder and one of the largest motor manufacturers in China; Yang Linke, the founder of BTCC.com.
They are joined by Xue Manzi, one of the most famous Angel Investors in China, Huobi.com and Jubi.com amongst others. (Forbes.com)
So the founder Tang Binsen of Clash of Kings, has gained interest in Tron. But, we have another Clash. It’s the Clash of Clans, that the other huge game.
Clash of Clans is owned by Supercell which is owned by Tencent.
The clash of kings and clans are now brewing.
The conflict between existing crypto kings battling newcomers, and the clans of centralized internet companies like Facebook fighting the new clan of upstarts like Tron.
If that’s not already confusing, let’s add one more curveball.
Justin Sun is a golden child who was on Forbes 30 under 30 twice and was voted as the World Shaker at the World Economic Forum, and takes amazingly confident and playful headshots see below:
Who wouldn’t invest in someone who looks so inquisitive, friendly, and confident at the same time? I would.
So Justin has been beefing with not only the Great Charlie Lee, whose achievements in blockchain will forever go down in history, but also beefing with the great Zuck. You know Facebook Zuckerberg? Well, Mr. Zuckerberg is planning on integrating cryptos into the Facebook platform, and Mr Sun had something to say about it! I’ll let Justin’s tweet speak for itself:
Ok, so Justin thinks Zuckerberg needed a little sauce in addition to Charlie Lee. What is happening and how is Justin so confident to call out global superstars, while maintaining that confident pose in this pictures?
Does Tron have an ace up his sleeve? Who could that ace be? Well, firstly Tron is launching an office in San Fransisco this year, going global baby! See below:
BOOM!
Is Tron entering America while taking on Zuckerberg and Charlie Lee at the same damn time?
Tron also has a killer roadmap coming up, with its main-net launching this month. This main-net launch could make or break Tron, or maybe its already made? Hmm.. because the last piece of information is where we really start going down the rabbit hole..
So all of Justin’s great achievements are listed prominently on Trons website, except one big piece of his resume. He’s hiding something. He talks about Founding Pieweo a Snapchat like app in China, he talks about Global partnerships with OBikes who have 40 million users worldwide, he also has talks of integration with other large companies globally event Fortune 500 companies.
But he leaves out one part, and its a big part:
It’s his time at WeChat, hmmm I wonder why?
His position as Director of International WeChat Operations
Yeah that WeChat with 900 million users. One of the proverbial app titans of the world. Speak on every other accomplishment in life, except this one?
I just found out about it last night, myself! It’s apparently not common knowledge at all in the Cryptospehre or Tron-Hive either.
Oh, why is that significant? Tencent owns WeChat. WHAT?
So we have Jack Ma, Alibaba, Lucien Chen, Tencent, and Now WeChat.
Justin announced he would be announcing a partnership with a very prestigious publicly traded company next week.
And the drumroll, please……….. Tencent!?
Maybe, and for now, I’m very bullish!
Don’t consider this investment advice, for when I’m wrong and fuck up your life and money.
It’s all fun and speculation. But for now: IM VERY BULLISH! Well, see next week :) if you liked the article of course you can tip me in Tron or follow me on twitter at @DigitalLawrence
