LOVE or HATE the project, Tron really has done very well to reach a market cap of $1.56 billion, putting it amongst the top-ranked cryptocurrency projects in the space. It is hard to deny that Tron has truly grown into a powerhouse in the cryptocurrency industry, despite the fact of its turbulent history with plagiarism. 

Here are 4 great reasons for you guys to invest in Tron today!

1. Justin Sun - The Enigma 

Justin Sun seems to be a very misunderstood individual within the cryptocurrency industry with many investors getting the impression that he is just a very talented hype man for Tron with some very very clever marketing skills. Regardless of your opinion, Justin Sun is a very decorated entrepreneur having made the Forbes China 30 Under 30 Most Influential Entrepreneurs both in 2015 and 2017. He is a serial entrepreneur that has also caught the eye of AliBaba CEO and Founder Jack Ma. 

Sun started his cryptocurrency career at Ripple, helping them secure connections in China. After moving on from Ripple, Sun started Tron from completely nothing and has managed to grow it into one of the top-flight cryptocurrencies in 2019.

Justin Sun has most certainly managed to master the art of marketing in the cryptocurrency industry as everything he markets seems to turn into gold. Furthermore, Justin Sun is probably one of the main reasons that the Tron Foundation were able to acquire BitTorrent….which leads me right onto the next great reason to invest….

2. BitTorrent - A JumpStart of 100 Million Users

The next GREAT reason to invest in Tron is the recent acquisition of BitTorrent and the launch of the BitTorrent token on the Tron network. The Tron Foundation had managed to acquire BitTorrent for a fee of around $140 million and have planned to fully integrate this into the Tron network. They did this by launching the BitTorrent token through the Binance Launchpad Program. 

Considering that data sharing is the heart of the Tron network, the acquisition of a P2P file sharing program speaks volumes for the direction that Tron wishes to head toward. Furthermore, the BitTorrent acquisition came preloaded with the 100 million users that are using BitTorrent. The Tron Foundation aims to use these 100 million users as a jump pad for Tron as they convert them into crypto users.

3. Zk-SNARKS - Making Tron Private

The Tron team aim to implement the privacy-preserving feature known as Zk-SNARKS on their network at some point during 2019. This feature will effectively turn Tron into a full privacy token that will allow users to mute transactions without disclosing information related to the transaction using Zero Knowledge Proofs. This technology was originally used by ZCash and has been proven to be effective. 

Introducing privacy to the Tron network should also help to entice a whole new audience to join the Tron network and take part.

4. Creating A Decentralized Web

This is perhaps the most pertinent reason to invest in a project like Tron. The fact that they are trying to decentralize the web is a very important prospect in today’s age where censorship is running rampant. 

Before Tron, content creators only had a select handful of platforms where they could publish their content. These giants would have a stranglehold on the entire content creation industry as all content creators have no choice but to use their platform to be heard. 

However, when a small handful of companies receive all the power, the industry becomes heavily centralized amongst a few players who have the ultimate authority on what happens to the content on their platform. If they don't like a particular angle of a piece of content, they can easily choose to censor the media and bury it so far it never sees the light of day. Furthermore, they always take a large proportion of the revenues generated from the content, leaving the actual creators behind with scraps.

This is the exact problem that Tron is trying to tackle by creating a completely decentralised content sharing platform. Think of it as sort of a decentralized Netflix, YouTube and App Store. Users can come to the platform, create their content and share it knowing full well they will be receiving the majority share of the revenues. Furthermore, they will also know that no matter what they say, their voices can not be censored. 

So there you have it, 4 GREAT reasons to invest in Tron.
