If we are to talk about old smart contract project that's on par with ETH in existence term it will be Tron, how can Tron still be value at few cents since released? What's holding this project back? Transaction fee is cheap and transaction speed is faster, I'm just surprised how matic, Polkadot and Avalanche that are new projects beats Tron TRC20..   is Justin Sun to be blame for its failure?

What failure about Tron? Look at the circulating supply man, its 100B and according to Coingecko its maximum supply is infinite, I don't know if this is updated. You cant compare it to coins like AVAX which supply is way low if the supply of Tron is same of matic or avax then its possible ranking in top 10 in MC.   

Tron is doing just fine, the only problem is new projects aren't using TRC20 compare to ETH and BSC network, even some that started their project on Tron TRC20 made some complaining and abandoned Tron smart contract for ETH, there is a rumour about Justin Sun asking for settlements from new projects running on Tron. ... I remember Oikos Dev exposing this secret months ago.

You should ask justing for this. He was in the tron foundation since tron being born in the past and he knows so well what happened with tron blockchain.

1. Lack of utility usage
2. Complicated blockchain especially for dapps development
3. Less adoption coz the demand goes to the binance smartchain.
4. Complicated mechanism adopted by tron like using energy to send the transaction and this is crap. People need the easiest way to send their money.



So many reasons are holding this back. It's caused by AVALANCHE, MATIC and DOT know how to do that better than tron. The CEO of tron is a harsh guy. he didn't even take the chance to make tron become EVM compliant and then this is the result.

I agree with the comments about Max Supply and Total Supply. In addition; There is a claim about Tron's whitepaper: https://www.inverse.com/article/40050-tron-trx-cryptocurrency-plagiarism-scandal Justin called this claim a translation error. That's enough of a situation to stay away from Tron. :) Justin Sun's only achievement is his marketing talent; A genius who knows how to influence the masses. However, I do not think that this is a sufficient reason to make a long-term investment.

No doubt that fee in tron is truly cheap. But projects are free to choose for their own networks and it's that there are projects that still rely on decentralized network of Ethereum.
The co founder of tron even said that it's centralized and that's the reason that holds them back. Sun has already resigned or retired as the ceo of it.

But the damage has already been done regardless Justin Sun has retired or left the Tron, TRX was once pitched to be the successor of ETH and would become #1 Altcoin but things never picked up for TRON due to the controversy involving Justin Sane and  I don't thing it can be revived without a  radical changes which would be required for it to grow further and what the point of having supply when the value has not given. 

On the other hand it's quite similar situation to ETH which also has no limit to max supply.
The difference is we need to "BURN" ETH to obtain GAS for covering the fees, but at TRON we are FREEZING the asset (TRX) which gives us the resources required for blockchain interaction). 

NOTE: BURNING is an irreversible action (burned asset is removed from total supply) but FROZEN asset can be unfrozen to be used again (it's still counted in the total supply ).
I think the only hard-coded TRX BURN occurs when someone is applying for super-repre.

What I really like about TRON is that owning just coupe TRX (and freezing them) will provide you sufficient resources for couple free interactions with blockchain daily which is very useful for small amount transactions ( almost every day I'm buying breakfast worth of $2 with TRX  ... can't imagine doing this with ETH or BTC ).

The new Tron leader should do some revamp of their platform. A lot like about Tron network because of its cheaper fees. And they are quite fast. I don't know also what are the future plans for this network, they have a good start but they need to get the interest again of crypto users. Now, there are new networks like BSC, SOL, ADA, MATIC and they have active development progress. Tron may be left behind if they will not do anything of importance this year.

Scalability means nothing when there was no other usability for the Tron coin.


These blockchains have a better strategy than tron in all aspects starting from the marketing strategy, blockchain specification, community and many more.


Yes it is lol. Look at how this guy was wasting his time to do useless things like taking dinner with warren buffet. That guy focuses to create FOMO rather than on its fundamental and utility of coin. This is making the tron coin look like an outdated token. Just see the fact now.

TRON has gone from strength to strength in recent years. Many speculate that it could become a platform for blockchain developers if the issues of high gas fees on Ethereum are not resolved soon. And the TRON ecosystem boasts an impressive array of tools and services, rivaling many of the major blockchains in the DeFi space. With an impressive marketing strategy and a growing following, we can expect to see more good things emerge from the TRON ecosystem in the coming months. All you need to do is feel and be patient, there is no better choice than that.

This project is totally shit right now. It's pretty much the same like EOS. Garbage developers and CEO ruined this project. Wasting a lot of money to buy zombie platform like BTT. You must also see that even the blogging platform that already bought by tron has become a garbage project as well. It seems like that TRON developers wanna do the development instantly instead of creating various platforms to support their ecosystem.
It's caused by the developers didn't even interested to use this blockchain. So many users are even having a lot of problem even do send tron coin to the another wallet.
The tron foundation will be the same like block.one. You must also see how block.one right now. It's almost dead if it's not caused by 4 billions that raised through the ico sale.

Yeah, I don't Justin is partly to blame, I mean in the beginning there was a lot of noise on Tron, but it died out and the hype is gone. And as someone has said, the circulating supply is like infinite, so that alone is questionable and it's hard to get an accurate price. And Justin has a squabble with CZ if my memory serves me right. And after that public argument Tron price goes down and it never recovered while the rest of the crypto market is doing all time high.

Overvalued. The value of tron coin must be below 1 cents. I say this caused by it seems like that if this blockchain is dying caused by the new blockchains already attracted the tron users to migrate to the new network. I never used this blockchain again after there are some better blockchain like BSC and matic. Im actively using TRON stable coin due to the fees but these days so many alternatives and that makes tron look like an oldest blockchain.


Tron community can answer this. They didn't even satisfied with the development that already happened.


Tron is only rely with cheap transaction without care about further development that already achieved by another blockchain. This blockchain will have the same future like old blockchain that dumped to the bottom. Justin must say thank you to stable coin tether to make this coin is still alive.

I don't think it is a failure if it still can managed to have that price and look at the circulation supply. One thing I see is maybe the project is too complicated that some of the projects chooses Matic or Solana over Tron but there are still some projects that are based in Tron and maybe if they can do something that could change the game it might be come in par with Matic and Solana as well as Ethereum but not sure what could it be.

Justin sun is the one to be blame for the performance of Tron, that man started treating developers like garbage, Tron should be a decentralized network but the CEO turned it into centralised project with his attitude towards other developers.

As a Tron holder, I always believe in Tron but I must say it has not performed according to the expectation of the traders so far. The supply of Tron is very huge as compared to Matic, Polkadot, and Avalanche projects so comparison with these coins is not fair. Tron dev needs to do something to create the interest in buyer's minds again or should focus to get the new projects on Tron blockchain. I would say still it is in huge demand it's not obsolete in the market.

I think TRON as one project looks project not have good progress after running several year depend with other coin have been success, I think developer as Justin Sun is not really serious about his coin and now get problem with BTT coin as part of TRON. I think need new developer for make TRON become potential coin and have investor keep believing with TRON coin, maybe they can looking for new partner and make some dapp exchange market like pancake swap with support many TRON network coin as potential increase to higher price.

Lol, the supply answer is the circulating supply of Tron, it is billions so obviously, the price is going to be low. As compare it to let's say bitcoin or ethereum, with low supply. So the price correlates with the circulating supply and this is one flaw of Tron. And then Justin lost his touch as a shill, investors no longer buying into his hype like dinner with Warren B to attract attention from crypto enthusiast.

Many have said that as the successor of Ethereum but all of them didn't find any success from doing so. I don't see much controversy with Justin.
If there is I think that's just when I'm annoyed always with the news about partnership which he find it as a gateway to market tron.

There is no need to be surprised to see Tron can not grow like the other coins or newcomers because I think the investors are more interested in the new projects that can have better things than Tron. So that may be the reason why Tron still does not grow while the other coins have already hit their new ATH and new coins or tokens can increase higher than Tron. We can not blame Justin Sun because that is not related to him and that is because the market movements and the demand of Tron are not too big to compare to the other coins.

It's a good project as well mate but users are not too much reason it's now left behind. And you cannot compare it to any projects out there especially those have massive community because obviously tron(trc20)has no power to compete although it becomes more useful these day  because of having small fees and the speed of transaction but it is what it is mate just accept the fact.

That might be an argument why Tron is still valued as low as it is but what is the difference in what you just described of Tron when compared to Ethereum? Total supply and Max supply of ETH is even infinity and yet we all know how much Eth is. I too don't understand why Tron is not really moving up in price and can't say why or maybe it is just choice by a whole lot of people  ;D

That's what I am wondering too. Same with matic and matic is a good alternative to eth too but why its value is still tiny just like in tron? Tron and matic are the same when it comes to value so I wont say that matic is better than in tron but maybe there are a little bit more projects on matic than in tron based on my observation.

While tron is being used the most when it comes to payment purposes like in gambling sites they always have a tron coin on them but I rarely see that they list matic . Matic's and tron's cheap value could be related to their number of supply. Not familiar to their supply but maybe it was higher than on what eth have. Aside from supply other factors are in play too. Like popularity, coin's age and many more....

Tron blockchain was good for high speed transcation, low gas fee. Tron transcation is still faster but gas fee now too much. Which makes the TRX blockchain unusable. Trx was my fevourite chain for transfer USDT but i am also now avoid this Network for too much gas fee something like Ethereum

TRON is a decentralized open-source blockchain-based operating system with smart contract functionality, proof-of-ownership principles as its consensus algorithm, and the system's native cryptocurrency, known as Tronix (TRX). It was founded in March 2014 by Justin Sun and since 2017 is overseen and supervised by the TRON Foundation, a non-profit organization in Singapore, which was founded in the same year. It was originally an ERC-20-based Ethereum token, which switched its protocol to its own blockchain in 2018.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tron_(cryptocurrency)

The price depends on the traders, what's important is that TRON is still listed in big exchanges and they have a good trading volume. Development is ongoing, maybe they are just lack of hype but for sure their time will come and TRON will pump like other coins that had their own run in the last bull run.

I don't know if the exit of Justin Sun from TRON helped or not, but let's see.
https://www.coindesk.com/business/2021/12/17/justin-sun-is-retiring-from-tron-but-not-crypto/

huge supply and lack of community support is the source of tron's problems. I agree tron is a project that can compete with ethereum because it has a very cheap trc20 network every transaction, easy to use and understand. I think tron is too focused on their platform, so it doesn't attach importance to growing their community which makes tron tend to have long price movements.

Sun will always be a part of the Trx Foundation he is the one who started it and created hype on Tron, I'm sure wherever he goes and whatever he does he will become an ambassador of Tron, he becomes popular and even richer because of Tron, Tron will have his glory days just like what happens to DogeCoin, the community support is still there and exchanges still trust and continue to trust Tron.

Justin is not to blame, altho his actions didn't exactly help. The thing is, for a chain to be a success, it needs to have an ecosystem.
Tron network would need to get loads of projects to build on them to have an active ecosystem

Then are you expecting TRON price should increase as like as DOT,AVAX? TRON price at few cents because of it’s over 100 billion circulating supply where your mentioned coins are total supply is less than one billion. Some of few new projects in the top 10 ranking in CMC, they shows their strong development in the market. Still TRON is very popular network for it’s super faster transaction and also lower fees.

I never found this news that Justin has retired from this project .Its rally true that Tron has fine network even they have strong chain on crypto field .I don't wanna complain about every feature it has .I have seen that it is more complicated when we talk about using Dapp .So it could be a reason why it couldn't gain enough from the most new potential project .The team has established a good project and i think they need to work hard and update more things on which can help them to boost from the current value .

Too high gas price?
Commissions in the network itself were generally a few tens of cents and about a dollar for TRC20.
If you compared TRC with ETH blockchain, where fees costs $30-60 per transaction, tron has very low gas price.
Many times used Tron without any problems. Everything is fast, without delay, low commissions and a huge number of exchanges where you can find the throne.
TRC20 is perhaps one of the most popular stablecoins, you can deposit and withdraw funds from any exchange.

Tron price still in few cent, coz of TRON huge supply. TRX supply more than 100 billion. And the TRX is now charging extra gas free. Which is reducing the use of Tron blockchain. For example I used to transact in Tron blockchain all the time and I used to use USDT of Tron blockchain but now I have stopped using it because of excess gas in Tron blockchain. This is exactly how the popularity of Tron Blockchain is declining day by day. And because of this the price of TRX tokens is not increasing much

In my opinion, the number of daily transactions as well as the large community of Tron users themselves also affect it. Not only that, investors need to be more selective in review at crypto assets in the future. There are many analyzes that will be seen. One of the considerations can be seen from the fundamentals and liquidity of the crypto asset itself.

Supply didn't matter a lot in this case if you are seeing it from the marketcap from tron compared with another blockchain project like DOT or even Solana. Tron is less popular compared with those coins.

Is not it another blockchain was also offering the same thing? Just because it was offering cheap tx fees. I think that many new platforms have been doing the same thing but why do those new platform even more popular compared with tron? there might be something wrong with it. I think the problem will be on the lack of usability of tron on dapps.

Almost all of developments that already done in the tron platforms have failed.

Maybe it's because people's attention is focused on Ethereum, especially at that time. Many new projects are using Ethereum as their network. That is one of the reasons why Ethereum can rise and is still one of the favourite coins. Tron itself may be less aggressive in promoting and there are not many new projects that use the Tron network so Tron cannot compete with Ethereum. There's nothing wrong with Tron. Maybe it's just a matter of time because if a coin does have the potential to be big, it will surely attract many developers to build a project using the Tron network.

Huge Tron supply is a problem as you rightly pointed out because investors will take note of that when buying especially for a coin that has increased in price considerably over the years and people don't want to be a bag holder.

But I think the major problem affecting the growth of Tron is it's adoption, you can't find too many good projects built on Tron when you compare it to Ethereum or even BSC, I don't know why that is the case but I'll put the blame solely on the development team, Tron ought to be in CMC top 10 and not where it is today.

TRX didn't fail, it's just that there was no big promotion to raise the price, just imagine if a whale came in and pumped the price like what happened to Doge last time, it could happen at any time.
Actually TRX has met the requirements to be expensive, just look at almost all big and small markets already have TRX as their trading pair, so I think we are just waiting for the time when TRX will become high-priced.
