The choice of making investment in any cryptocurrency depends on our own believe. Well there are many points to notice while investing in any cryptocurrency, there are certainly two ways to look at any investment i.e. the long term or the short term. While both of these are good cryptos to look into, we are covering some points which will make some difference on their projects and help us in choosing the crypto to invest in a long term.

TRON (TRX)
TRON is quickly becoming a cryptocurrency to watch. There has been many ups and downs seen to the coin but there is one thing which remain intact is the founder and CEO Justin Sun who wants to transform and decentralise the web.

There are two aspects to look, which make TRON a better investment: the potential of its Mainnet and the platform’s adept marketing strategies.

The Mainnet factor
TRON's recent adoption of the mainnet is going to give an advantage making it better than Ethereum. This update is highly crucial as it will be providing high scalability of upto 10,000tps as well as attaining a near-zero fees of 0.00001trx per transaction. These are crucial in making attempts to make good hold in the entertainment as well as the gaming industry which is the core to TRON project.

Marketing strategy of TRON
In April, TRON conducted a $30 million airdrop to the Ethereum community. This gesture was made to explore TRX to more users, potential way of increasing its chances once the mainnet launches. And then there also been a $2B Genesis reward pool and the TRON loan. All these works are done to pull users and developers to the platform that will help in building a community to gain mainstream adoption.

Ethereum
Ethereum has much more popularity and market share than TRON at the moment and is generally regarded as the crypto which has the potential to overtake Bitcoin in market capitalisation. Predictions made that it could hit $2500 at the end of 2018 .

Ethereum is still the go-to platform when it comes to ICOs and decentralized apps. There are more projects coming into the platform, from gas to weather and even space exploration. All these should make the underlying currency become more valuable.

Ethereum upgrade will make it better
It’s true that Ethereum will continue to dominate, its dApps and smart contracts niche are facing a lot of stiff competition. Problems of scalability and relatively high fees give other platforms a chance to attract some of its projects. It is possible that Ethereum will become very popular with proof of stake, and may skyrocket its value.

One potential problem is being classified as a security. If Ethereum is declared as a security, its value could drop. Although this would constitute a temporary setback, its effect on investor confidence could be big.

Conclusion
TRON (TRX) claims as one of the top emerging platforms, and its founder is doing a lot to make it stand out and achieve its goals. It is a good opportunity to invest in something that could skyrocket in 2018. Ethereum, on the other hand, is a platform that needs only to work on a few system upgrades to continue on a path to great value. If you are looking for a cheap coin with huge potential, go for TRON. If you have the dollars to get into Ethereum (ETH), the returns could be phenomenal.
