You may experience intense levels of FOMO from what I’m about to show you. I believe TRON could be one of the top 5 cryptocurrencies next year and possibly even top 3 in two years. Here’s why.

Who’s Justin Sun? Justin Sun is the former Chief Representative of Ripple in Greater China and the CEO of the leading audio content community of China with more than 10 million users — Peiwo. He’s made the Forbes 30 under 30 list twice at the age of 26 and was hand picked by Jack Ma himself to study at the Jack Ma Hupan University for entrepreneurs which has an acceptance rate lower than Princeton. Jack Ma was the only millennia graduate from the university.

Tron posed to partner with the biggest companies of China, including Alibaba.

Besides Sun’s picture with Jack Ma and his degree from Jack Ma Hupan University, what else does Tron have in connection with Alibaba?

Weixing Chen, team member of Tron, founder of ride share service Kuadi, student of Hupan University. Sound familiar?

In 2013 Alibaba invested several hundred million US dollars in Weixing Chen’s company, Kuadi. Think of them as the Chinese Uber. Actually, that might be a massive understatement. According to recent reports Kuadi is quickly surpassing Uber in marketshare and just received funding from Apple in the form of $1 billion. Weixing Chen is a good friend of Jack Ma. Ma was an original backer of Chen’s ride sharing app and continues to maintain close links with him. Source: http://jackmafoundation.org/?p=136&ckattempt=1

Weixing Chen’s partnership with Tron isn’t just powerful because of his connection to Alibaba group or Jack Ma, it’s because I believe Tron will utilize the Kuadi app on the Tron network, adding a nearly $100 billion dollar company to the platform, bringing it into the spotlight of the biggest tech companies that exist today. Here’s why I believe so: Today in Justin Sun’s live stream he confirmed that Tron will have multiple large partnerships and revealed one of them today.

BikeShare, a young application-based Chinese bicycle rental company who’s quickly taking over the bike rental market in China will be on the Tron network. In the company’s short time on the market they’ve amassed a valuation at over $3 billion. Tron’s website has yet to update BikeShare as an official partner, but the CEO of BikeShare, Wei Dai has been under the ‘Team’ section since the beginning, similar to Weixing Chen. I think the partnership with BikeShare gives us an idea of where Tron is heading and it would not surprise me in the slightest to see Kuadi who’s CEO is similarly a team member of Tron, be added as an official partner.

Another Alibaba connection:

Lucien Chen. “Previously, Chen has worked for Tencent and Alibaba, and has officially joined the TRON team as Technical Lead, managing TRON’s global technical teams and arranging all project development schedule.” source: https://themerkle.com/lucien-chen-big-data-expert-from-tencent-and-alibaba-to-join-tron/

Justin Sun has positioned himself in such a way that I believe will bring Tron to a top 5 cryptocurrency of 2018. I believe Tron is incredibly undervalued and their mission misunderstood. I think today we saw a tiny portion of what’s to come with the partnership announcements, and I think these pictures with the likes of Jack Ma and the Lenovo founder aren’t just cheap shills. Jack Ma has a history of investing in the projects of Hupan University’s graduate projects, and I believe given the fact that Tron has two Hupan University graduates/friends of Jack Ma, the odds are in Justin Sun’s favor.

TLDR: Justin Sun student of Jack Ma university. Sun posts photos with Jack Ma (Alibaba) Weixing Chen is a team member of Tron, founder of Kuadi, Uber-killer ride share App. Justin Sun announced today 12/22, another team member’s ride share app going live on TRON. Justin says much bigger news coming. Kuadi (valued at 60+ billion) likely to be added to Tron, Jack Ma likely to invest in Tron given his history with investing in student’s projects.
