Justin Sun, Tron CEO, looks to memorialize Ethereum and Vitalik Buterin

A shrine in memory of Ethereum and Vitalik Buterin build by Justin Sun? Who will not want to see that unfold?

The Ethereum-Tron competition is no secret to any crypto enthusiast. Vitalik Buterin and Justin Sun have been on each other’s necks not once since a long time, and it seems the jabs will not come to an end any time soon.

The Sarcastic Monument

So far, the two have attacked each other concerning their crypto ecosystems, and the latest slur is from Sun who claims to build a shrine “in memory of Ethereum and Vitalik Buterin.” According to Sun, if Tron succeeds, a monument will be erected in memory of Ethereum and Vitalik Buterin to remember his contributions to the blockchain industry.

Perhaps, Sun’s remarks sound sarcastic, but who knows maybe Justin is serious. Then again, over and over again we’ve seen him claim that a day a would when Tron will overtake Ethereum. Therefore, Sun may be heating the rivalry to ensure he pushes Tron up rapidly.

Hitting back

Tron and Ethereum are competitors, and such jabs are welcome. Perhaps, Sun’s comments might have been triggered by Buterin’s latest comments whereby he stated that he would lose some specific amount of hope for humanity in case Tron overtakes Ethereum.

The comments were made when he was speaking about ETH losing their rank and stated that the new projects would help it grow.

Furthermore, Buterin made it clear that ETH’s main competitor would definitely be  Ethereum’s “sister network.”

For Justin Sun, Tron is way better that ETH giving reasons that its fees are lower meaning development costs as well are low. Tron also offers bandwidth to users, and it has better tech, too.

Mixed Community Reactions

As expected, people cannot stay out of the picture and not react to this kind of jabs. While some people were enthusiastic, few were not impressed. For instance, crypto analyst Misha Lederman offered his opinion stating that instead the real question should be “when” and not “if” Tron will surpass Ethereum.

Nevertheless, let’s not forget that it was not too long ago when Tron’s daily blockchain operations surpassed those of ETH and EOS combined with even more daily transactions by volume.

So, whether Tron will be better than Ethereum is only something for the future, but for now, we’ll have to continue enjoying the jabs as not any one of them is ready to throw the towel. And yes, the competition is healthy for the crypto space in general.
