It’s kind of ridiculous to say but a lot of people are using Tether on Tron these days. See link here.
It’s insecure as hell, but cheap and a way to get in and out of dollars quickly.
Ahh, Justin Sun. I find Tron weird.

Why?

I haven't looked at it in over a year, but the content is one thing. Perhaps it's a cultural difference. Also, I had a Steemit account, then Justin Sun tried to take it over (and did) and nearly everyone on Steemit forked over to the Hive blockchain (which I like). In the process, somewhere, Tron emerged. I assume it's a fork of Steemit, because ultimately Steemit and Tron and Hive private keys were all identical which is not healthy.

Not sure that's right. A quick check says Steem 2016 and Tron 2017.

Fair enough. I guess I got confused with the private key thing. Out of curiosity I logged back into my Steemit account (been years) and saw that I'd somehow gotten a smidge of TRX from somewhere. I guess that's what confused me; I still don't understand the connection (other than Justin Sun).
