When founder Justin Sun tweeted that TRON [TRX] was better than Ethereum, and went ahead to list seven reasons why much of crypto universe got split into two.

There are those that supported the bashful founder and there are those who took to social media platforms to bash him for that seemingly self-destructive tweet.

Tron has literally been helped to crawl in the crypto world by Ethereum. Did Sun know this? I believe he does.

But there is something that cannot just be lost in all that too and fro: Tron have successfully launched their Exodus testnet and are rearing to go. TRON [TRX] is ready to stand up and be counted.

Going through some of those reasons by Sun, you’d actually see why the community should be excited.

Here is a rundown of the reasons:

Tron’s transaction superiority over Ethereum- 10000TPS compared to 25TPS which is 400 times higher and faster. The key point is that TRON scales better than Ethereum.

The Tron network is way cheaper than Ethereum- Zero fee charged against the high fee charged on Ethereum’s network. At the moment, every transaction costs 2 cents on Ethereum, something Sun says will definitely increase with an increase in the value of ETH.

The Tron Foundation wants to oversee a consistent coin burn while Ethereum has no such thing as a coin burn. There’s also the issue of limited supply versus unlimited supply. (though Ethereum do have proposals to limit their own coin supply)

Tron uses the easier to use Java while Ethereum is stuck with the more difficult Solidity

Strong extensibility against a lack of any extensibility

Tron has set aside 1 billion USD as developers’ rewards. On the other hand, Ethereum has no such plan

Tron has 100 million users, while Ethereum only has a small number of users.

While that won’t take anything from Ethereum, it points out to what it is that the decentralized platform can achieve. In fact, in an article on medium, Justin Sun elaborates on these reasons before declaring what the project is all about. It is all about revolutionizing the entertainment industry. That wasn’t its initial aim, according to the founder. In essence, the message is that Tron’s blockchain influence has expanded.

That is what TRON wants to achieve.

In the ensuing melee that greeted his initial tweet, the TRON founder was reminded of the controversy surrounding its whitepaper. For the last couple of months, a section of the crypto community has refused to get over the revelation that the cryptocurrency’s team may have plagiarized their whitepaper. Sun was reminded of this, but in rejoinder, he goes ahead to reveal what he thinks about his project.

He goes on to say:

It is a fact that TRON owes a lot to Ethereum and even Sun acknowledges that. Subtly, he says that the platform is better now because of Ethereum. Could that maybe mean they want to be the best?

Referring to the platform’s vision, the founder sidesteps the Copy+Paste comment; choosing the positives of his platform and the upcoming mainnet that will occur on 31st May 2018. He says TRON has no plan to just try to be like Bitcoin or Ethereum. The future lies in making the internet fully decentralized.

That mission, as I have said, began with the launch of TRON’s testnet. The stage is now set for the platform to have the mainnet that, for long periods, is the bane of several crypto startups. With a mainnet in the works and a community that solidly believes in its product, it won’t be simplistic to conclude that the future of TRON has just taken off.

Will Tron [TRX] surge? Sun summarizes that by so aptly:

In other news, Tron rece ntly announced two new exchange listings. The first came from Bithumb, a 2% payback on deposits was available to TRON users till midnight of April 7, and Upbit exchange, with a new TRX/KRW trading pair.
