Tron's beginnings cannot be separated from Justin Sun. This man relied heavily on promotion, as Sun's commercial background succeeded in attracting thousands of investors to invest in tokens on the Ethereum blockchain, which encouraged them to launch a blockchain similar to Ethereum in 2018.
Therefore, Tron's architecture is similar to Ethereum in terms of Dapps, smart contracts, and delegated proof-of-stake consensus.
But the actual success of the blockchain appeared due to providing low fees for USDT, and therefore as long as there is demand for USDT trc20, TRON will have value in the future, and if cheaper and more efficient solutions are found for USDT, the TRON network will die.
In 2024, the Ethereum network will continue to have cheaper fees. There are MATIC USDT POS, L-USDT and other solutions. If Tron does not make transaction fees cheaper than $1, I expect the blockchain to collapse during this year and turn into a dead blockchain within 4 years.
