Justin Sun to Ethereum Developers: Jump Ship and Bring Your dApps With You, Tron Will Rescue You

[PRIBO247]

Tron CEO Justin Sun has urged Ethereum developers to jump
ship and come aboard Tron’s expanding ecosystem. How his
target audience responds to the offer remains to be seen, but it
is obvious by this point that the Tron CEO is pulling no
punches to exert Tron’s dominance in the fierce rivalry
between the two ecosystems.

Tron Goes on the Offensive Against Ethereum
Justin Sun tweeted Dec 6, 2018, announcing that Tron is
currently hiring and the door is open to anybody willing to cut
the cord with the Ethereum network, which he says, is due for a
collapse.

The career section of the Tron website lists several openings in
the accounts, business development, engineering, human
resource, IT, and marketing departments. But of course, it is
the developers the Tron CEO seems particularly interested in,
which is why he promised a special “rescue fund ” for ETH and
EOS developers who are considering migrating their dApps to
the Tron network.

 #TRON WILL BUILD A FUND TO RESCUE
 AND DEVELOPERS FROM THE
COLLAPSE OF THEIR PLATFORM AS LONG
AS THOSE DEVELOPERS MIGRATE THEIR
DAPPS TO #TRON. $TRX

Sun’s call to the Ethereum community comes shortly after
ConsenSys, an Ethereum production studio, confirmed that it is
laying off 13 percent of the company’s workforce in a strategic
move.

Growing dApp Activity in Tron Network
Controversies apart, there’s no denying that Tron has been
steadily improving as a platform for decentralized apps. Since
late Oct/early Nov, more than 20 new dApps built on Tron were
released. The Tron CEO further claimed that an additional 80
Tron-powered dApps were going to launch by the end of 2018.
The inevitable impending doom of the Ethereum network , as
Justin Sun puts it, is probably not going to happen anytime
soon. But that doesn’t change the fact that there is an ongoing
dApp migration from Ethereum to the Tron network. While not
bad enough to cause panic in the Ethereum community, it
definitely underlines a trend. And the trend appears more
visible with gaming dApps.

In a recent example, Blockchain Cuties, an increasingly
popular cryptocurrency collectible game dumped the Ethereum
blockchain to get cozy with the Tron Protocol.
Keen on emerging a superior gaming platform, Tron recently
announced a dedicated fund for blockchain games. Dubbed
Tron Arcade, this fund will invest $100 million over the next
three years, as revealed by Roy Liu, head of business
development at Tron.

Liu said in an interview with the VentureBeat :

“Our mission is to bring the blockchain to the mass
market. […] Games led the way to make smartphones
and virtual reality more accessible. Now it’s
happening with blockchain.”

Apart from that, Tron has also announced the Tron Accelerator,
a million-dollar contest for dApp developers .
Twitter Feud Continues
It’s been a while since the rivalry between Tron and Ethereum
spilled over to Twitter with both Justin Sun and Ethereum co-
founder Vitalik Buterin using the platform to take potshots at
each other.
Buterin, perhaps in an attempt to play down Tron’s promise of
leading the next “ bull run ,” recently said:

“… the next wave of crypto adoption is not going to be
built on hype because the hype is basically already
come. It has to come from really useful applications
and things delivering value to people”

Never shy of controversies, the Tron CEO responded:

VITALIK: NEXT WAVE OF CRYPTO IS NOT
GOING TO BE BUILT ON
HYPE.@VITALIKBUTERIN ADMITS THAT
 LEAD THE 2017 BULL RUN BUILT ON
HYPE. #TRON WILL LEAD NEXT BULL RUN
BUILT ON MASSIVE ADOPTION DAPPS AND

Buterin retorted by saying that anybody using their own ticker
in a tweet is “ basically a self-identified shill and not worth
listening to .”

HEURISTIC #103: ANYONE WHO PUTS A
DOLLAR SIGN FOLLOWED BY A TICKER
SYMBOL IN THEIR TWEET IS BASICALLY A
SELF-IDENTIFIED SHILL AND NOT WORTH
LISTENING TO.

As expected, Justin Sun didn’t take it lying down and mocked
Ethereum’s scalability issues with a sarcastic comment :

“We can talk about the dollar sign after the day ETH
reaches 2 million Txs per day, which I think will never
happen.”
