“Tron is not capable to handle BitTorrent”, says former BitTorrent CSO

Tron has recently made its investors very happy. The token increased by almost 40% in a matter of a week, due to the Tron’s announcement of the BitTorrent token (BTT) and that every wallet that holds TRX would receive an equivalent amount of BTT.

But money aside, developers believe that Tron is not capable to handle the workload of BitTorrent. According to the Former Chief Strategy Officer of BitTorrent Inc, Simon Morris,

It was very clear when I was [at BitTorrent] that there was no way the transaction capacity of Tron would [work]. The transactional capacity we [were] looking at was needing hundred of transactions a second just to get started. It’s simply not there. You hear all the bullshit out there, oh, this does 10,000 transactions a second. It’s all crap. We were going to melt Tron. Literally, destroy it.”

Simon Morris also added that prior to being acquired by Tron Foundation, BitTorrent itself was looking into cryptocurrencies to monetize seeding. The only difference this time is due to Justin Sun’s marketing capabilities.

It seems they’re going in the same direction [as our plan]. But what’s very clear is that they’re going to say, ‘they’re going in the same direction, come what may, because that’s what Tron does […] It’s basically a marketing machine layered on a very thin veneer of technology.”
