TRON is a rip off of IPFS, and everybody knows that (Source, in case you forgot: https://twitter.com/juanbenet/status/950142785373405184 )

I mean, the homepage ( http://tron.network ) has a giant face of the "Founder" / "CEO" of the company... Glorious.

I am dropping my 50 cents here: I would not look at it as if Tron bought BitTorrent... I think it was the other way around: BitTorrent was financially known to not be very "healthy". I bet it was more BitTorrent looking for mo-mo-mo-money as a valid exit!

Yup, Bram Cohen moved on a while ago to his Chia.Network project, and the corporate owners of BitTorrent were just looking for an exit. TRON got a name brand and some tech that seems related to blockchain but not necessarily directly useful to it, and not Bram, and not sure what else.

Some argue that IPFS is a rip off of BitTorrent, and thus, the circle is complete: BT -> IPFS -> TRON -> BT

IPFS is a rip off of Freenet, with all the anonymity ripped out.

TRON is a dpos blockchain with a port of the ethereum virtual machine. Not sure where you get the IPFS part from.

I am not a TRON fan or investor but you have done some fine mental gymnastics there. They did bought BitTorrent. Source and legitimacy of their funds are questionable
