There are tokens we give importance to, the rest of us treat TRX to be junk but there are also giving importance to TRX particularly those who are earning dividends to projects. The community of the project is often the ones who give importance to the token. We as part of bitcoin community give importance to BTC.
Tron is a curious coin because when every coin was having a bull run recently it remained around $0.03 but now recently it started to get pumped which was quite strange because that time other coins had stopped.
I never quite like the plans Justin Sun has for TRX but yeah I will agree that it is indeed one of the best coins for doing fast and cheapest transactions (in case you don't know, transactions are free of cost for tron).
We have different view on what are the most important cryptocurrencies than bitcoin. Monero is a good coin but it can not comparable to bitcoin. We have other coins which is top in the market is eth. If you look into it those top coin are most important which users are into. Just invest in those top coin to be safe.
Oh yeah Monero was quite good because I remember it was impossible to track monero transactions at all but I don't know if it serves any other purpose and hence it isn't as popular now.
