Justin Sun and Tron are great. He’s such a conman and a bullshît artist, and really sums up the whole crypto space.

As someone said on reddit:

There's a big prize draw with a Tesla as grand prize
A winner is announced
Winner rejoices
Tron Guy claims there was a computer glitch
Tron guy claims they did another draw and someone else won
​

Presumably the glitch was "The fake account we set up to win so we wouldn't have to give away a Tesla wasn't picked!"

The guy who was originally told he'd won the Tesla was compensated with a free ticket to some bullsh1t TRON conference

First prize is a ticket to the TRON conference. 2nd prize is two tickets to the TRON conference.

Tron conference over a year from now. Complete joke

Seeing as none of you lads happy to jump on the bandwagon would never bother post this I guess I will. And it was posted several hours before a lot of your posts.

Your responses will be quite predictable, but anyway, it's there for some balance.

"I’ve happily decided to give away two Teslas to further my mission of creating transparency, reliability and openness about blockchain."

"On Twitter, the team used a tweet randomizer tool because Twitter does not have an official drawing mechanism. The team was unfamiliar with the tool and performed a number of test draws to understand how it worked, which has led to some misunderstandings about how we did what we did. We also were unaware there would be concern about the video not being live-streamed and that it would create ambiguity and controversy."

This is PR damage control 101, they and he knows they f**ked up and need to sort it out, it took hours for them to come out with this bull and I mean hours, my post was 10 hours ago, this post by him was 3 hours ago (cant do the roll eye emoji on my phone but they are in the back of my head mate)

Yeah of course they ****ed up the draw but it wasn't a scam, plain and simple!

Can I borrow those rose coloured glasses there?

Does anyone remember late 2017/early 2018 there was that issue with the tron wallet where if you transferred tron to your wallet and back to their site again it was doubling,tripling and randomly increasing peoples holdings? No explanation for it,just people getting more tron,I did it 3 times and it worked for me.

Something seriously suspect about Tron and I believe it's been found that like 60% of Justin's Twitter followers are fake too

Edit: Fyi I believe in crypto it's just my opinion that TRON is a ****ecoin

You are obviously the type of person who ignores every progressive step Tron takes and jump on the bandwagon when something like this happens.

And re the Twitter followers, (not that I give a **** about them) it was actually half of the NEW followers he received since announcement of the Tesla competition that were fake profiles, not his overall total. But sure you can just leave that bit out!

It exposes that these "business leaders" (like Sun) are really just children with little or no concept of anything, who just were in the right place at the right time

If it were a real company or project, he'd be long gone

Most people I know think crypto is a sham or a pyramid scheme. The fact that 70+% of ICOs actually turned out to be scams just underscores that sentiment

So I'd have to disagree, the bad PR is not doing crypto any favors. It has a bad rep for a reason.

Because he's a moron. I've been following his tweets on and off for 15 months. It's one ****up after another. If it were a publicly listed company he'd be long gone.

Crypto is progressing just fine - away from the 2017 hype. If it's dead, what would anyone be bothering with it for right now? And by 'anyone', I mean Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Galaxy Digital, ICE (NYSE/Bakkt), Nasdaq, Stuttgart Borse, Tagomi, Morgan Creek Digital, Fidelity, Six Swiss Stock Exchange, Facebook, Telegram, VK social network (Russia), LSE, TradeStation, IBM, Overstock and various entities facilitating the tokenisation of stocks, bonds, art, real estate, etc.

But there was a long list of people "interested" in the tech back 18 months ago but not too many entities have taken the plunge and adopted it in their business model. Well I know Pornhub adopted verge but that's the only one I can remember of any significance.

The likes of goldman sachs, jp Morgan etc. The battle cry from crypto enthusiasts has been that "institutional money" is just around the corner. It's always just around the corner.

Are you still selling price predictions?

If you did, you would be rich by now and you wouldn't be posting here anymore

What long list of people?

Most if not all major (and non-major) financial institutions are involved in development/projects on blockchain tech, DLT, smart contracts. Either developing their own tech, or in conjunction with established crypto projects or using a specific crypto platform (e.g. Eth)
