Proponents of the Ethereum 'World Supercomputer' may balk at the recently liberated Tron's impressive post-mainnet momentum-with the young blockchain having rocketed to handling a third of Ethereum's daily transaction count in August.
TRX started Aug. with only 30,100 transactions a day.
Of daily transactions was NEARLY 1/3 that of $ETH. #TRON is the fastest growing coin, this rocket ain't stopping for anyone 🚀#trx #tronfam pic.
With 440,135 recorded on the 1st of September, Tron's transaction count appeared to lick the heels of Ethereum - seeing 67 percent of the volume of the world's second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.
The news will invariably drum up support amongst impassioned members of the Tron community, who have for months battled Ethereum proponents over some of the more combative claims of Justin Sun.
Having pitched Tron as being an Ethereum-killer of sorts, Sun has tended to stir the pot amongst the Ethereum community when issuing development updates.
TRON [#TRX] network better than #Bitcoin [#BTC] and #Ethereum [#ETH] in terms of decentralization.
Sun's recent trumpeting of Tron as "The largest and most advanced peer-to-peer network in the world" seemed to ignite vitriol from Ethereum 'World Supercomputer' bulls, only to be matched with the rebuttals of Tron holders - perhaps typical of the type of to-and-fro come to be expected from Sun's tweets.
Add the two together and you get the largest and most advanced peer-to-peer network in the world! #TRONBT $TRX pic.
