Excited to be here

I just discovered Steemit, and its certainly quite interesting...

How long has it been around for?

I'm involved with a Web2 business that compares business water suppliers and often write about crypto and blockchain, although not much about the Tron chain, which has a massive TVL but not much traction for other ecosystems.

Is Tron a legit blockchain alternative? How decentralised is it in terms of validators, code, node, etc?

Curious to see if anyone knows!
