Tron Growingly becoming Centralized Mess?
I've been historically a lot more lenient when it comes to Tron (TRX) accusations regarding plagiarism and scam claims. I've always been aware that Justin Sun is a sketchy actor and he's a dude who has a tendency not to hold his promises and pretty much ripoff existing ideas and concepts from elsewhere to Tron.
- However, the recent announcement of Justlink has made me become severely more critical of Tron and its total ecosystem after my investigation on centralized aspects of this blockchain (I knew it was an issue, but not to this extent).
So what basically happened was that on October 30th Justin Sun broke the news regarding an alleged first Oracle service on Tron. Saying that it would be Tron's answer to Chainlink and ironically even using the word link here along with his own name that he loves to time again and again.

However, turns out that old Justin is back at good old plagiarism again and has taken chainlink code from Github and pretty much pasted it over with a couple of small edits from it. Comparisons can be viewed here.

It's also very dubious that back on August 30th Tron was talking about integrating Band Token to their platform and would be working with them to bring over Oracle services. If Tron's slogan is "Decentralize the Web" why all actions by Justin are always moving towards a more centralized system. Here is a breakdown
of all the services that Tron Foundation already has acquired under the ecosystem.
Almost Everything major is deeply connected to Tron Foundation and Justin at the moment. We could argue that PlayRoyal and Tether are likely the largest players that aren't directly connected to the foundation right now. Some of these services were independent earlier but Tron Foundation has basically acquired them.

Now earlier Justin Sun did claim that Justlink was the first oracle on Tron, which is a blatant lie since Bridge Oracle (BRG) has been operating since late 2019 and has also been in talks with the official Tron team for funding in the past. Yet going to claim they are the first ones in the space? Also, all the 7 supernodes that are hosting the oracle service are hosted by Tron themselves meaning that its totally centralized way to direct data on the network.
At this point, I think dapp creators on Tron have to think twice before working on anything on the blockchain since if they aren't getting acquired, Justin is likely going to steal the concept or not give any funding to it, which ultimately just means they are not going to get any promotion. This is something I've seen a lot from official Tron channels is that they aren't really paying any attention to 3rd party dapps and services on Tron blockchain and they are left in their own devices so to speak in terms of marketing and getting the userbase.

As the very last final point I do want to talk about how the whole DPOS system in Tron is basically run by the Tron Foundation since they ultimately own by minimum 9 of the super reps and there are 4-5 potential socket accounts which are also playing into all of this. Top of this top delegate is Binance and then you have HitBTC which is another scam exchange and Huobi. The whole ecosystem is practically run by the Chinese and Tron Foundation - which just shows how the system is not working.
After the video was published there also was a recent hack where one block producer didn't create any blocks. Quite a coincidence in timing honestly, as of right now I'm not quite sure which super rep was the one who didn't produce any blocks.
That's what I gotta say all for now - at this point, the real fans of Tron should just fork the ecosystem honestly (if they aren't puppets of course). If you want to support me consider tipping me at these addresses as well.
