Before we continue, I’m no native english speaker, so, if you see a typo or a sentence that goes into the wrong direction, forgive me.
Of course, TRON is not a scam and I'm happy with the progress it is currently making. When I look at what happens in a very short period, I cannot help but be a bit proud of what I, and you, invested in.
First the announcement that mainnet will be brought forward for two months and the launch of the testnet. Ok, the launch did not go completely smoothly according to Western standards, but for the Chinese it really does not matter. Testnet is running and that is the most important thing. We are not even 3 days ahead or the first 200 nodes are already in the air, these are needed to be able to do the transactions as quickly as possible. The more nodes, the sooner the mainnet will be running smoothly. I think we should be able to get 100,000 or so nodes, not within a week but give it a year.
Finally, the good news from COINFLIP, TRX has also been added to this option. Nice moment now that we get more and more TRX / USD pairs, always better than first BTC and then USD.
But why do people continue to write that TRX is dead, that it is a shitcoin? And then the many factual untruths about Justin and his team? I will try to explain that to you.
We call it FUD, shout loudly that it is nonsense and when you're in bed at night, chances are you'll just think .. "what if it is true?", And that's what it's about. The emergence of doubt.
There are a few groups that distribute FUD, firstly the paid websites such as ambcrypto.com. These sites get paid to write, malicious, and / or positive articles about a particular coin. It does not matter what they write, nor does it interest them, as long as they write about it!
Be aware that these websites do not stand alone, just pay attention. If an article is placed on a certain website, you will see that exactly the same article, in a time frame of 8 hours, will be placed on various websites. All coin related, all from 1 and the same group of people.
But why, well, simple ... the swedisch group ABBA (yes I’m that old) wrote a song about it called money, money, money. That's all. Everything you read is paid heavily and as there is no regulation you can write whatever you want. Every click yields money, it's as simple as that. Money from advertisers, but even more, money from the competitor who writes this down.
The competitor obviously has another interest, sell that shit TRX and buy the excellent, perfectly described, amazingly handsome, flamboyant DLT coin! Because wow, that's one ... So it will be described in the positive articles about this, totally unknown and especially senseless, coin. (or is this FUD? 😉)
Then there are the haters, you know them. On every forum you meet them, everything you write is pulled into the negative, whatever you say is not true and it remains a shitcoin. Convincing these people makes no sense, no matter how hard you try. You can divide this group into three different groups;
- Paid complainants
- Hangers
- Nigerian princes
To start with the first, yes they exist and can earn a lot of money! Just to become a member of all kinds of forums and as many as possible so to spread FUD as truth. They are paid for it very well, these people will keep talking to you for a very long time. Not because the discussion interests them, but only because the longer the demonstrable discussion, the more one deserves! Then the counter is running in there advantage. They make money by talking to you….more than you probably made with TRX sofar.
Suppose I write, on this forum, a super negative article in which I say TRX is a scam (like the title) and the admins of the site leave it, then i make money! Mountains of it! Why? It is an article that elicits reactions (and therefore a wonderful negative counter reaction), plus that the article stays on! It is shared across other pages and before you know it I am spreading my lies on many forums, the more I am seen, the more I make!
The admins on many sites are happy that they are admin, approve a little bit and for the rest ... I'm playing the big boss! It does not work like that, of course. It is up to the admins, and the members of the forums, to quickly intercept and disable these fake profiles and fake messages, even before it is going to live a life of its own. Some forums do that really well, others have something to learn. Our TRON (TRX) forum is doing well, but we also have a lot to learn.
Then the followers, well ... those are usually the people who have bought on a level of 0.20 or 0.30 and are now seriously frustrated, they will immediately accept and share all negative messages about TRX. Once again an assignment for the admins, seeing is removing! These people have sold at a loss, to make matters worse, you will meet these people again in a few years, then they will have bought it for $ 2 and have sold it again because we do not exceed that $ 1.50 .... This club is called "I'm always just too late and it's your fault!"
Finally the Nigerian prince (sorry if you come from Nigeria, no hard feelings). You know them, they offer nice courses to go from $ 100 to $ 10,000 in a few weeks, you really do not need much, they are 100% trustworthy! I would do it that way, really, go with them ... and lose all your money due to greed!!
But can they do any harm? Yes and much more than you think! Not only are they able to take you off your TRX, they will also get you (and believe me, they are really good!) to believe them and before you know it, you will also spread FUD about the items they want you to act on. You will find this less at TRX because a pump and dump is not really applicable, but with other coins these people are used in large ammounts.
The princes are part of a much larger group of people that is capable of organizing pump and dumps through FUD. Actually, they do exactly the turn-around, distribute as much FUD as possible to lower a coin in value and then buy it, not a little, but en masse! The prize shoots up, everyone on board and the followers will indicate in time when the words MOON, LAMBO and BUY, BUY are called on forums. That is the sign to sell!
An advice from me, do with it what you want, but always use your own mind and gutfeeling. Do not respond to messages on "news sites", even if it looks so professional. 98% of all written articles are only there to damage others or to make money.
Still, do you have any doubts, ask it in your forum, despite all the nonsense answers you sometimes get, there is always one that opens your eyes and make you think.
Finally, did you hear that Justin Sun was arrested while laying down in the garden of Jack Ma? He was hiding in the bushes, only wearing his underpants and it looks like he was a bit on drugs. Trust me, it is all over google so should be true right! 😉
Enjoy the TRX road trip, it is amazing, special and unique!
