Tron started out as a team of 10 devs working on building a decentralized web platform.

On December 28th 2017, Tron launched their first beta for the protocol.

Recently, we saw the campaign of #deletefacebook because of its centralized abuse of the user’s data. Facebook and lots of large companies like Google, Amazon and Netflix control and manipulate the user’s data to get the results they want.

Justin Sun’s original goal is to focus on developing a content entertainment ecosystem, but also to provide a scalable, high availability and throughput distributed ledger to decentralize the web — honoring Tim Berners Lee. Decentralizing the web is a much bigger picture than Ethereum’s Peer-to-Peer Blockchain dApp platform or Bitcoin’s Peer-to-Peer cash.

This is not the Internet we want.

We want to give the users’ data back to them. None of us want to or should control the Internet.

TestNet Launch

Less than 3 months after its initial launch, Tron has grown into a team of over 100 members, gaining talent from reputable giants such as Baidu, Tencent and Alibaba.

With the release of Odyssey 1.0, the TestNet, the network was able to reach over 10 000 transactions per second — Ethereum allows around 25. More details were revealed about the technicalities of the protocol, namely:

Feeless structure, the block reward for validation is of 32 TRX every second a block is mined and is given by the Tron foundationA token can be issued by anyone at the cost of 1024 TRX, this fee is burned permanentlyThe protocol makes use of a dPoS consensus system where nodes are elected with TRX holders

From this point on, Tron will be working on moving from an ERC20 TRX token to its MainNet version of the token. This will be facilitated by smart contract running on the Tron network.

MainNet RSA 2.0

The MainNet is scheduled to launch May 31st 2018, with a development update due late April. It will provide a reliable, secure and high performance settlement network and onchain smart contract platform. The key priorities are:

performance and security trial runimprove dPoSonchain resource allocation governance

Additionally, the team will be focusing on helping platforms migrate from other protocols and integrate the Tron network structure. These include partners like: OCN (Ocoin), GTO (Gifto), Paywall, trip.io and others.

RSA 3.0 comes in September 2018. It aims to provide stable support for third party apps, more specifically: high performance and pluggable smart contract virtual machine and Peer-to-Peer network optimization. In the 4th Quarter of 2018, Great Voyage 1.0 will be released.

Details

The foundation is really going all out when it comes to offering unprecedented levels of support and stability to the community of developers, creators and investors who will interact with the Blockchain.

Justin Sun noted a $1B fund the Foundation will use to support the community, especially developers working on wallets, explorers, services and products in the form of dApps.

The TVM (Tron Virtual Machine) will work with Java code. It is fully compatible with Google protobff and comes with a nice set of APIs, this is greater than the limited usability and extent of the Ethereum VM’s Solidity coding language; it also reaches a wider developer audience.

Tron’s vision is to directly compete against Ethereum, offering a greater solution by combining the powers of their strong development teams: Backend, Appdev and research.

Justin says Tron will be having mostly fiat-tron trading pairs when it gets to competing and eventually outstanding Ethereum’s market cap. Tron is already dominating trading volume for crypto-crypto trading pairs on many exchanges.

Before January 1st 2021, the Tron Foundation will be directly responsible for the block reward and will not increase the total issued TRX afterwards. A steady coin burning is planned to counteract negative repercussions of unlimited supply, minable currencies like Ethereum which can become wasteful in terms of energy.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: With August 1st Looming, Uncertainty is the Only Certainty

Bitcoin Price Analysis

With only 3 days left before Bitcoin’s hardfork is implemented, there is still great uncertainty among BTC-USD markets (which inherently applies to all cryptocurrencies) and what their imminent fate will be. One would expect, with so much market uncertainty, that BTC-USD should be seeing dropping prices as people begin to sell their BTC in lieu of other fiat and crypto-assets. However, in a surprising turn of events, BTC-USD has managed to climb by over $300 within the past 24 hours. Because the speculations regarding the BTC hardfork vary wildly, this market analysis will look at the raw data presented on the markets and will not attempt to account for any of the hardforking ramifications.


Want to learn how to keep your bitcoins safe? Read this.


The figure below shows two indications that the BTC-USD climb is due for a consolidation period and possibly some pullback in price:

Figure_1_2HR_Candles.jpgFigure 1: BTC-USD, 2HR Candles, Bitfinex, Momentum Loss

The first that stands out with the current $300 rise is the decreasing volume throughout the length of this little bull run. Decreasing volume indicates the decrease in market interest in these higher values and typically leads to either a consolidation period or a pullback in price to garner support from lower values.

The second indicator that stands out is the 2HR MACD divergence shown in pink. Typically, for a healthy bull run to sustain its upward momentum, we would like to see the MACD making new highs on the histogram to accompany the new highs in market value. Looking closely, you can see the most recent high of approximately $2800 did not correspond to a new high on the MACD histogram. Thus, another indicator of market momentum loss reveals the increased likelihood of market price consolidation.

As always, it is important to put the current market trend within the context of the grand picture:

Figure_2_Hidden_Divergence.jpgFigure 2: BTC-USD, 6HR Candles, Bitfinex, Hidden Bearish Divergence

Looking at the 6HR candles trend, there is a subtle hint of macro bearish divergence on the MACD. When the MACD signal line/moving average makes a new high, but the price trend does not make a new high, this can be an indication of bearish leaning momentum called “hidden bearish divergence.” In addition to the MACD hidden bearish divergence, we can see a severely decreased volume trend as we approach the highs made a couple weeks ago. In general, the upper $2000s seem to be a battleground that is starting fizzle out in a bearish fashion. This could be attributed to many factors, but ultimately I think the wild price swings can be easily explained by the great uncertainty in the market surrounding the August 1st hardfork.

With only 3 days left, speculators are getting situated in their positions. Until the hardfork is implemented, there is no telling what will happen to the BTC-USD markets or the cryptomarket as a whole. So, with all this uncertainty in the air, where can we expect to find levels of support in the event of a major crash on August 1st? The figure below shows the key support levels to look for on the macro scale:

Figure_3 (2).JPGFigure 3: BTC-USD, 12HR Candles, Bitfinex, Key Support Levels

Once again, the key support levels for the macro trend are found along the Fibonacci Retracement values of the entire bull run. Immediately below our current values lies very solid, historic support at $2500 values. A test of this support value will ultimately dictate the immediate future of the BTC-USD market.

On the run up to $2900 a couple weeks ago, a lot of volume went into the market to develop firm support. A breakdown of this support level could prove to be quite destructive to the BTC-USD market in the short term. The $2500 support level is clearly shown in the massive influx of volume and proves to be a severe point of market interest. To date, that is one of the strongest support levels BTC-USD has established, as indicated by the rise in volume around those prices.

Summary:

  1. On the macro and micro levels, BTC-USD is showing indications of price consolidation in the near future.

  2. Key support levels are found along the Fibonacci Retracement values. In particular, $2500 has proven its historical significance in the market and should be closely watched in the event of a bear run post-hardfork on August 1st.
