Ethereum Vs. TRON Battle Intensifies: Vitalik Buterin and Justin Sun Clash Over Twitter

Justin Sun and Vitalik Buterin clash once again over Twitter.

The two juggernauts are back to unleashing criticisms against each other's platforms as Ethereum and TRON battle for market dominance.

On Twitter today, Justin Sun once again touted the merits of the TRON platform.

The comments are consistent with Justin Sun's usual promotion of TRON, having previously elucidated multiple times that TRON would cause the next "Bull run."

The tense relationship between Vitalik Buterin and Justin Sun stretches back to the origins of TRON. In the past, Buterin has extensively criticized Sun's blatant plagiarism in TRON's whitepaper, taking excerpts directly from IPFS and FileCoin, and then using code without attribution.

In an underhanded comment from Buterin, he remarked that Justin Sun could have more easily stolen from these projects by using the hotkeys "Ctrl + C/Ctrl + V" to improve his plagiarism efficiency.

In a light-hearted Ethereum Improvement Proposal Vitalik Buterin plagiarized 20 percent of the proposal from the TRON website, paying tribute to the white paper and code copying incidents.

Perhaps Buterin is right to say that Sun is outright shilling TRON for his own gain, implying that those who extol "1000x" gains encourage "People to act more like Justin Sun.".

Or maybe Justin Sun is justified in his promotion of TRON. Assuming his claims are accurate, TRON might be that much better than Ethereum.

Perhaps Justin Sun's TRON will bid "Goodbye" to Ethereum as TRX surpasses ETH. Whatever the result, Justin Sun's aggressive marketing of the TRON project does not sit well with Vitalik Buterin's more reserved technology-first style of leadership.
