Justin Sun is a technology entrepreneur and the founder of TRON. Justin has been active in crypto-currencies market since 2013. Among all the other crypto-currencies, Justin has also noted a need for TRON USDD to be developed. This will be able to achieve a high liquidity and security on user’s transactions, improve transaction speed as well as scale up TRON.
Justin Sun was born in China which is why he has a Chinese name. At the time of his high school graduation, he found that there are not enough jobs in China and Justin decided to move to United States. He went to study at Brigham Young University and graduated with a degree in Computer Science. After attending a software engineering internship, Justin joined BitTorrent Inc. as the CTO.
About two years later, Justin Sun left the company to participate in blockchain and founded TRON. In June 2018, TRON was able to acquire BitTorrent Inc. That’s a major milestone of TRON as it makes them the biggest decentralized internet ecosystem in the world. Today, Justin Sun is still the Chief Executive Officer of TRON Foundation which is also a High-Performance Blockchain (HPB) Super Representative which means that he is capable of making decision for HPB community.
TRON is currently a top 10 blockchain network with more than 1.3 million users from more than 100 countries. Currently, TRON is striving to achieve exponential growth and a global market value of $100 billion by 2021. For this purpose, Justin is joining hands with other crypto-currency enthusiasts like Ripple’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Ethereum Co-founder Vitalik Buterin.
Justin has been compared to other well-known entrepreneur like Jack Ma and Mark Zuckerberg. However, unlike the two, Justin believes that internet should be decentralized. He also wants to give more power to the users and less power to a corporate authority. This is why he chose to create Tron which supports independent and decentralized entertainment system so that users can freely publish, store, and own data.
TRON is also striving hard in order to participate in the evolution of blockchain technology.
