After many incidents, most people berate Justin Sun for his lack of technical know-how and understanding of the space, but it’s safe to say he has a good eye for business.

In June 2018, Tron acquired BitTorrent for nearly $140 million to expand their file sharing capabilities. BitTorrent is a pioneer of the peer-to-peer file sharing, having amassed 150 million users since its launch in 2001.

With a fair portion of crypto Twitter bullish on BitTorrent (BTT), the launch has come in perfect time for the market to capitalize on this sentiment.

Details of the launch haven’t been revealed, but it can be assumed that the same BitTorrent interface will continue. In fact, most of the features are expected to remain the same as the BitTorrent platform is going to run on the TRON blockchain.

Sun believes BitTorrent’s biggest asset is its P2P network while TRON’s is in its decentralization. The integration between the two is aimed at helping them draw on each other’s strengths to become a single functional platform.

TRON currently has one of the most active smart contract environments thanks to its robust gaming and lottery dApps. Acquiring a P2P file sharing platform with over 100 million active users was a masterstroke in integrating new users to the TRON platform.
