Tron is the crypto currency that fuels the Tron blockchain. Tron has a very strong community despite constant shill by haters and is constantly improving. Tron runs on a delegated proof of stake (DPOS) system and is led by Justin Sun bringing unique advantages and disadvantages compared to other consensus algorithms.
Tron solves major issuers existing on other mainstream currencies like Eth and Bitcoin, such as high transaction fees during times of congestion and slow transactions. Tron is capable of executing transactions completely free, great speeds and users get rewarded for participating in the ecosystem by voting.
While Tron and its underlying projects haven't been the most profitable crypto currencies, they certainly deserve recognition for the utility they bring to the table. Trons motives are evidently functionality driven and the price will reflect this as the ecosystem develops.
In conclusion tron has its advantages and disadvantages in the crypto space giving it a niche market share and potential to scale over the long term.
