I Went ALL-IN on TRX: Why the Entire Crypto Market NEEDS TRON!

As you can tell from the title of the post I have sworn my allegiance to the great and mighty TRON, and I now bow at the throne of TRX. 🙌

Here’s why:

1. Web 4.0: The Decentralization of the Internet

It’s hilarious to hear the FUD’ers talking their usual crap about how “TRON doesn’t even have their own coin... they don’t have any technology... classic P&D!” People, the reason that TRX is sitting at #12 at the time of this writing, about to take the #11 spot from freaking Monero, is because of the insane potential behind TRON’s technology, which is right around the corner from being released in full.

These are exciting times!

What is it about Sun’s start-up technology that has the entire Cryptosphere in a buzz leading up to the launch of TRON’s Main-net on May 1st of 2018?

Justin refers to his platform as “Web 4.0”, toting slogans like “Decentralize the Internet.”

Justin explains it beautifully:

“[It will]Create a decentralized Internet, and let the Internet return to the heart. Anybody can create content, webpages, applications, and connect freely with others without having to rely on centralized services. By returning power to users, we will eventually change the global Internet landscape.”

We’ve all watched the Internet take a pretty shitty turn over the past few years, as the big corporations have rushed in to get their greedy hands all over it. Look at YouTube as a great example. Back in the day, YouTube was this cool little community of content creators getting paid to create content that they loved. On a larger scale, all these content creators began to create a movement that quickly grew to rival the entire entertainment industry. And now, in desperation to keep their hold, the big wigs have come in and are running it into the ground by regulating the content, picking and choosing who and what gets monetized in hopes to try and corral content creators into creating the kind of content that is deemed most advertiser-friendly. We can all see it happening and I think we all can agree that it’s sucks. The silver-lining is that this is the perfect setup for something new altogether.

Enter: TRON, TRX, Web 4.0.

The team has built a protocol that “is one of the world's largest blockchain-based decentralized application operating system protocols.” Essentially, their protocol creates an entire infrastructure of a new decentralized Internet, in which we can enjoy all of the amazing content that the internet provides now, but without all the big corporate middle men who have started to botch things up. Not mention how much this tech is going to expand the internet into things beyond our wildest 2018 dreams.

As an example, let’s look at how TRON’s protocols could potentially replace YouTube in this magical new land of Web 4.0.

On the surface, I imagine things won’t necessarily look very different from a YouTube kind of setup. The content creator creates their video and then uploads it to the website/app that is running the TRON protocol, where it is stored and then accessed by the rest of the network. This, however, is where all similarity with YouTube ends.

On the back-end, each and every content creator on a TRON-based system has complete, total, and SOLE ownership of their content. TRON does not own your content, third-party systems do not own your content, You, and you alone, own what you create. Makes a lot of sense to me.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg! Not only does the content creator have total ownership of their content, but they have complete and total freedom to create any and all content without the fear of being monetarily discriminated against by the few that sit at the top of an old school network. That’s really the greatest opportunity of Web 4.0: the ability for new global systems to be created, molded, and sustained by the users themselves, no Big Brother deciding what’s best for us.

True power to the people. No more secretive meetings around a small table with a handful of people deciding the fate of the entire system. Instead, Web 4.0 promises a world of totally transparent code made 100% public. Everyone gets to take a look under the hood and give their say. Made by us for us. It all just gets me feeling sort of patriotic, but not in a “for my country” kind of way, but for this whole planet! And I’m not alone! Only 6 months since their inception TRON is now being circulated through 100 different countries! That’s insane!

I digress.

1. TRX: The Coin to Unite Them All

TRON is creating an entire infrastructure that will allow all of these amazing altcoins out on the market right now to interact with each other with incredible ease and simplicity once the Main-net is up and running.

Let’s explain what that might look like using an example based on the real-life partnership that TRON currently has with oBike, one of the leading technologies in China’s sharing economy (a blog post more about oBike coming soon!).

oBike users use oBike’s own crypto-coin to rent out bicycles in the network. Then, pedaling around town, the user can also generate coin (how cool is that?!). Now, once oBike is integrated under the TRON protocol, that user will be able to take that extra oBike coin that they earned and then walk into a coffee shop (that is also using the TRON protocol) and use the extra money earned from oBike to get a cup of coffee.

This is all done through TRX being the common exchange between all the coins on the network. Without any need for the user to manually exchange one coin for the other, the TRON protocol automatically moves the oBike coin to TRX which then will be moved into the coffee shop’s coin.

With the nearly free transaction fees, TRON creates an ecosystem where coins and creators can all easily move together in a single crypto ecosystem. Truly a radical technology.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg on why I’ve gone all-in on TRON, but hopefully enough to be helpful! Will definitely be posting much more on the topic soon!

I am so excited to watch where Justin Sun takes this technology and I’m glad to be along for the ride.

To the moon! 🌕
