TRX (Tron): What You Need to Know as a Trader $ - Written by someone who knows how to filter out the noise
TRX is not just another shitcoin. It is a project that has survived halvings, bear markets, and SEC processes. Why is it worth attention?
1. Pure Technology.
- DPoS with 27 nodes: 2000 transactions/second, almost free. Ideal for scalping or micro-payments in dApps.
- Dominant USDT: Over 50% of Tether runs on TRON. This means *liquidity* and constant volumes.
- Bulk NFTs: APENFT and other sparkling marketplaces, but the real value is in the infrastructure – not in the hype.
2. History Says It All (But Not Many Listen)
- Started as ERC-20, broke away from Ethereum in 2018. Justin Sun bought BitTorrent – strategic move or pump tactic?
- The community is toxic-positive, but the network has 2 billion potential users through BitTorrent.
3. Where's the Trap?
- Regulations: SEC is still hunting Sun. If the USDT faucet on TRON shuts off, is it game over?
- Competition: Ethereum, Solana, Binance Smart Chain. TRX is not unique, but low fees keep it relevant.
4. Price vs. Value
- 2025: Range $0.17–$0.59. If the network attracts useful dApps (not just ponzis), the upper bound is realistic.
- Long-term: $1 is possible only with massive adoption. But how do you compete with ETH's L2s?
Why Am I Looking at TRX Now?
- It's under the radar. Most are focused on BTC/ETH. If a bull run comes in the DeFi/NFT sector, TRX could be a "high-beta play."
- Volatility allows for swing trading (clear entry points: see support levels from Q4 2024).
Trader's Takeaway:
TRX is not a safe bet, but it is a solid technical tool for those who know how to navigate risk. Keep an eye on the USDT volume on the network and partnerships with enterprises (if they arise).
PS: Don't buy just because "it's cheap." See what happens with Tether there. And don't forget – in crypto, even projects with fundamentals can disappear over a weekend.
