Several rumors about TRON
As usual, rumors about the surprise of Justin Sun are speculation until the official announcement. Some members of the crypto community have been speculating, but the options they handle are many and varied. One user jokingly asked Sun if he will be dating billionaire Warren Buffet, and TRON’s CEO replied “LOL”. Sun and the billionaire had a dinner last what resulted in a hype that raised the price of TRX by 10%.
In recent weeks the rumors about TRON have not stopped. First, after a dinner between the TRON CEO and Steve Wozniak, there was speculation about a possible collaboration with Apple. Then Blockstream CEO Adam Back made a number of positive comments about TRON and also met with Sun. A tweet from Opendime inventor Rodolfo Novak (nvk on Twitter) spread the rumor that the TRON platform could be integrated into the Bitcoin-based Liquid network.
For now, everything has been kept in speculation and part of the aggressive marketing campaign that Sun usually does to promote TRON. It remains to be seen if any of these rumors will be confirmed soon.
At the time of publication, the price of the TRX stands at $0.025 USD with gains of 7.87% in the last 24 hours.
