Anyone seen Justin's tweet, Lol, I mean no offense to him, but this is very clearly just a marketing ploy on is end. We all know how Justin Sun is a 'shilling god' for f**k's sake, but this is too much. How can he take advantage of the situation and posted this kind of tweet?

Another one marketing tweet from him as usual. He likes to do that

A bit vague about what they'll actually do, too focused on shilling Tron, quite late. And by this I mean that CZ/Binance did it much faster, better and clearer.

If you think it is bad enough, then what do you think about doing marketing when someone passed away?

Justin did that when we heard a news about the crash that happened with Kobe Bryant, look at the picture above. He has no shame, he will do everything for his own sake.
It might be good for visibility, but seriously. Do we need to go that far in order to promote our project?

Is he really taking an advantage, though? I mean, on one hand, yeah this could be a PR stunt 'cause he could've made an anonymous donation or something else without using the name TRON. Plus, we all know Justin is well known for being a genius when it comes to marketing.

On the other hand, what if the guy simply wans to help? I bet 90% of those attacking him for doing this haven't donated a single cent :/

Btw, Binance’s CZ also donated money a few days ago, is he also taking advantage of the situation to promote his exchange?

Both CZ and Justin are taking the advantage. In other thread about CZ donation, I had mentioned the same- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5221407.msg53731268#msg53731268
I think this is a common practice, most of the company takes the opportunity of a trendy issue all the time. It's not that CZ or Justin have done. In real life, a lot of busineses do this practice. Social responsibility is something a part of any business but this too is a big marketing at the end.

Every his move is a marketing strategy and it works! Justin is not the only one person who takes the opportunity to become visible. Binance more than once helped within voluntary donations.

People's perspective can't be easily changed particularly on somebody who exploits each circumstance, but isn't it helpful? especially realizing that numerous individuals have been enduring a direct result of the infection that gives huge negative effect on their well-being. Why not see the positive side? it will be valuable and accommodating for individuals who are in need. Perhaps it's an incorrect method for helping because he's simply attempting to promote his exchange yet at the same time he was able to do his part in spite of the criticism that he's getting. It will be much better if he doesn't ask anything in return because that is the genuine meaning behind helping.

Atleast he is doing something. What about those who wrote negative comments here, what have you done for those people in China?

I am sure some of you would be very eager to know what I did? I am fighting against those medical bills that are being generated by American companies on social media who are taking advantage of this situation.

If he's contributing or donating to assist those who have been hit by this virus, then don't you think he's not doing anything wrong, even if he's doing a veil and subtle marketing through that process. It not really ethical to advertise with something as serious as this, but the help rendered is enough to overshadow that.

Popular people cannot really do something and it'll go unnoticed, even if it wasn't intended, maybe sun actually didn't have any intentions to market his coin, or maybe he did.


Title: Re: Justin Sun and Corona Virus
Post by: knuckey on February 01, 2020, 05:07:22 PM
I think that both Justin Sun and CZ have done a good thing in the assistance or donations they have given and their actions can trigger others to do the same. But it will have a good impact for both of them, because it will indirectly attract the attention of the public to find out who they are and will freely promote their business.

Apart from that, it is natural that they provide assistance, because their business is both based in Asia and has many users in the region. If we hate someone, then whatever they will do will always be wrong in our eyes, therefore we must always be positive thinking to anyone.

It's normal to have his foundation and name attached to the aide that he'll send there. We know the style of Justin and likewise, CZ also helped already not just with the coronavirus but with Australia's bush fire too.

Let's look at the positive side of his help.

i agree with your point of view. even if they are using the situation to further their agenda, lets just thank them for their contribution. at least they are helping people on their own way. people who happen to hold TRON know exactly whats in it for them. so long they are helping and giving their share to the public, i dont see anything wrong about it. lets use the power of crypto to help someone in need.

But Binance did it quietly though, without and @NeuroticFish have said, much clearer.

As compare to Justin with his picture with mask on taking a selfie? He can simply says that he is also going to donate and help without that image of his plastering all over. On the serious note, there have been reports that in our country that the virus is already here and it's a bit scary.

There's a positive and negative impact of showing that, he is showing that Tron is a caring company, on the other hand, he is taking advantage of the opportunity by promoting his coin, but many companies are doing this helping people in a time of disaster and at the same time promoting their company or projects.

It really depends on how someone will look at it.

(1) If this is a marketing stunt on Justin's part, then too bad
(2) If this is a genuine gesture on his part to really help the Chinese government then good for him

So yeah, it's two-fold, really up to the eyes of the people here. Someone could see it as a pr stunt and shun away because of Justin's personality. Personally, good move in his part.

It's both a marketing stunt and goodwill it's kinda two birds with one stone there are people who critisize him, he should have sent funds and don't mention Tron, there is a time to market your project and there are time to genuine in giving this one is definitely a marketing stunt and people are noticing it.

It could be just a bad thing in my perspective if there was no support that happened.
It seems like it could go either way, bad or good.
I even remembered those opportunist that made Kobe Bryant's merchandise price higher due to expected high demand. It could've gone good if it was donated to his family.

I dont get shocked seeing this move by Justin Sun as he completely seize all the opportunity for his tron project to enter any scene. Wuhan China is infected by now hopefully Justin doesn't do it for show but really go there and take action.

Binance move on Corona Virus was shown in some articles this news is spotted on his tweet. Meaning more people are interested on Binance action than this show off stunt made by Tron.  Totally dupe!

Right. In cases like this, humanity still reigns. Even if Justin does this maybe taking advantage of the current situation, but the fact that he had offered help to those who are needy is such a grateful act. People has still this humanitarian instinct despite of the calamity we have right now.

It may be his intention or not, the point that he helped, it do mean a lot. People are going to criticized you no matter which side you're really on. I agree, it is not right to advertise something, but the fact that he reached, and lend a hand for people in need though he had something in his bag, it will give him a win-win situation, recognition, and as well his marketing stuff. We must not feel jealous about it, and be proud somehow that at least, even though how much he hate him, he did make his way helping people in need although it seems not right at some point.

if that is true I will support it, but if it is wrong then I will insult it !, it looks like CEO Tron is indeed giving assistance  like CZ who also provides assistance, this is a humanitarian mission, and it's good for him and the whole community and even the people of China

It's good sharing your wealth in this kind of situation, this Corona virus needs global helps and if Sun is really true to his act and not just using the situations for his own personal reasons it's best to give him the credit. But then like you, if he's taking this just to bring public advertisement for his business then the help is not truly belongs to his heart but for the benefits that he'll be gaining after.

He's always the same. He even didn't missed the oppurtunity of the death of Kobye to promote his coin. He's very childish on making a hype for the coin.
But it's good that he's doing something to help those people. We even here collected some funds to buy and send N95 masks to the affected regions.

This guy is a shame for the crypto industry where Binance CEO is an idol to everyone. I was the TRX holder last year, but after the Justin suns' Warren buffet drama, I sold all of my TRX coins and moved on, from February 2019 to February 2020, I am not the TRON holder anymore. It's all because of this Justin's shameful marketing. I don't know how can people like him needs this kind of promotion! People should start unfollow this guy and let him realize that a kid has better common sense than him.

if there is one person in this space, that I know would like to make this situation to work for his own benefit then the person is Kustin Sun. I even doubt he is in the area where the virus is raging, people love their  life more then anything, maybe he just stayed in an area in China and start snapping

We already knew him for this kind of attention. The marketing he does for his coin is always getting up to this point, I think he's also just waiting for situations that he can ride so that it would be a perfect opportunity for him to advertise.

But since this is a serious case, I'll set aside the agenda he have and be positive with his action for this time.

Exactly! Though he is really using this scenario to promote his coin but I am with the idea that he is helping those people by the means he knows of. Not all wealthy businessman has the guts to help others. Just be grateful that small or big contribution in this time of crisis is vital for those community affected. They won't care about your background or intentions as long as you are giving them help. That's all that matters.

Yes.

We just have to look at the point of view but I understand that others can really see the other side and can't appreciate the help that he's giving to the affect ones. Because it was Justin's nature from the time we've known him in the marketing scene, he's been like that.

And that kind of figure about him can't easily be removed when there's something like this.

How can people seriously look at this horrible marketing and think "wow, I'll put more money in TRON" instead of "TRON is definitely a scam that will crash sooner or later". This isn't the first time, nor the last time when Justin Sun tries to create hype for his coin and inadvertently exposes it as a complete shitcoin. If a coin you hold measures its success in PR stunts and hype instead of technical merit, you need to seriously rethink your investment decisions.

when such a situation is indeed the main life to be saved, and I appreciate positively with the assistance provided, although there are elements of introducing their products, I think now is a natural thing, because the main thing is to jointly overcome this outbreak, so as not to expand throughout the world

binance acted faster when the Australian  bushfire happens and when the Corona Virus happens they also act faster.
but Justin?lol this is a surely joke if we are going to believe he done this with all his Heart,because this man won't do anything in Own will if not for publicity and popularity.
so let us not give the man what he want,lets not Give Him a Damn about his ACTIONS because this is what he really tend to do,to be talked in public and make His name and tron to have place in media coverages.

IMO this is a hype but also his concern on his own countrymen. We can't deny that he is a Chinese like CZ and for those who think that this is just a show then sometime we are barking on the wrong path here. How can you easily judge someone who just wanted to help. The social media thing is not new to showcase what is he doing. This era is different and social media is the most gateway of such issue. I dont mind his doing that for the hype but at least make it a real one. As expected on the social media king of cryptocurrency. Justin Tweet.
