Tron CEO Justin Sun just hit a milestone on social media with his reach of 1.5 million followers on Facebook.
Sun, in a recent interview with Forbes, discussed the new partnership with Line, the acquisition of BitTorrent, Project Atlas and Tron’s independence from the Ethereum blockchain.
While policymakers in the US have been deliberating vitriolic criticisms about cryptocurrencies from many naysayers, including economist Nouriel Roubini, Sun and other blockchain developers have been focusing on building strategic alliances in other markets – outside of the US.
“Korea and Japan are key strategic markets for us. As you know, these economies are doing a lot of heavy lifting in the tech industry and being available in those markets will let us connect with more partners as well as provide better product integrations for our token holders,” says Sun.
1.5 Million facebook followers at the beginning of this week. Let's move on and look forward to more awesome news. #TRON #TRX $TRX https://t.co/RmfjUivCrV
