My tip for today is to buy Tron.
This might look like a strange decision, given the immense growth of the past month, but Tron is still very new. You can only buy it on Binance and some smaller exchanges.
Why buy now?
The timing is based on this announcement of Founder Justin Sun:
What is Tron?
To quote from the whitepaper:
TRON protocol is the blockchain’s entertainment system of free content, in which TRX,
TRON’s coin, is circulated. Its native economic system enables an unprecedented
one-on-one interaction between providers of digital entertainment content and ordinary
users.
TRON is a block chain based decentralized protocol that will act as a foundation for a worldwide entertainment platform.
It has a very ambitious 10 year plan but in the shorter term, this could be a possible scenario on how Tron could be used:
Imagine you play a few games like World of Warcraft, Clash of Clans, ... With Tron, it could be possible to exchange some of your WoW gold into Tronix and then use that Tronix to buy more gold in Clash of Clans.
This is just 1 example on how Tron could be used. The idea is not limited to only games but also live shows, social networks, online casinos, ...
Another goal is to create a platform where the content provider doesn't have to pass via a third-party like Google or Apple to sell its content. In mobile gaming, the freemium model is now very popular, where you can buy stuff inside the app if you want to speed up your growth in the game. Now the game developer has to pay a fee to the platform, either AppStore or Google Play. If digital game assets can be sold on an open, decentralized market, it will be easier for game developers to earn money without having to pay fees.
About the team
Tron is receiving a lot of positive press because of the team behind it.
