Inflation is not a problem, because there are tokens for specific purposes. Bittorrent for example will issue its own BTT and reward seeders with it - TRX is just the base currency. Much like SMTs should have been on Steem, but they are already a reality.
I see Tron as an Entertainment network with lots of dApps running on it. I'm sure the copied a lot from Ether, but obviously are outperforming them in every matter (transactions, speed - quality and quantity) only a few months after the mainnet launch.
I play Blockchain Cuties on Tron and there are people playing it on ETH and they are used to wait for hours for their transactions in game and pay high Gas fees. I wonder, how someone has this patience to play a game on ETH.
SRs make total sense as elected representatives - much like politicians - who vote for changes on the network. That's basically how democracy works.
I don't think that reading whitepapers will really convince you - just spend a few days on Tron and see all the possibilities for yourself.
