TRX

reddit-trk

Ah! Thank you so much! The odd thing is that the CSVs include a number of TRX transactions, which were throwing me off. Altogether, out of some 5000 transactions, there are 82 TRX movements larger than 1 TRX (from 16 to 8500 TRX), totalling about 41,000 TRX. Are those relevant at all?

Historical_Quail_463

Totally normal. That 13.39 TRX is the contract execution fee (burned Energy), not a wallet-to-wallet transfer. ​Standard chain data exports only record token transfer events and usually drop receipt metadata like energy_fee. It was deducted directly from Wallet A by the node upon block inclusion, which is why Arkham shows it under Resources but your CSV misses it.

reddit-trk

So basically I need to ignore those micro-transactions, whatever they are, which seem irrelevant to the task at hand, but then that leaves the mystery of where the actual payment for each transaction is. Below is a redacted screenshot from arkm.com. It shows the transaction, which matches what I have in my data set. Same hash, same time, same USDT amount. The only difference is that the 13.39 TRX leaving this wallet (resources) are nowhere to be found in my data set. Is this normal? https://preview.redd.it/owk9n0xvx6hh1.png?width=1108&format=png&auto=webp&s=3a10aacf39b0d57f5d86ec7a1c8a4b9040ad9baa

​What you’re looking at is automated gas fueling. ​Wallet C is acting as a feepayer or deposit sweeper script. In crypto forensics, seeing Wallet C send dust TRX to multiple destination wallets within seconds of a USDT transfer is a huge red flag that those wallets are part of a single centralized wallet architecture or automated cashout pipeline.

NeonMaxi

You can ask for a stranger to gift you gas amounts of TRX. I have done that for people many times for coins I have. But I don’t have TRX unfortunately. I think there’s subs that are specifically for that sort of ask

callfckingdispatch

TRX I hope 🤞

Tom_TronZap

The 0.000001 TRX transfer is not the network fee for the USDT transfer. On TRON, the USDT smart-contract transaction itself records the Energy and Bandwidth used. Open that USDT transaction in TRONSCAN and check Resources Consumed & Fee; the cost does not need to appear as a separate TRX transfer from another wallet. The tiny incoming transfer is more likely spam or address poisoning. Treat it as unrelated, do not copy an address from recent transaction history, and verify the recipient from the original source before sending.

I got involved in 2017 after the entire crypto market went parabolic and my first crypto was TRX lol.

master-beast-72

The SEC dismissal list that Liteteam posted is the key context here. Sun's investigation was one of the ones resolved — the TRON case got stayed and settled rather than dropped entirely, but the end result was the same. He now has much less exposure than he did two years ago. That's probably why he feels comfortable filing suit. When he was facing an active SEC enforcement action, suing a politically connected project would have been an extremely risky move. Now that exposure is largely neutralized, the calculus changes. He's lost roughly $1B on paper from the World Liberty Financial investment, and if he believes there's actual fraud he can demonstrate (not just a bad deal), litigation becomes the logical next step. The "two fraudsters" framing is accurate as far as it goes but misses the more interesting structural point. The WLFI mechanics the article describes — where tokens were sold to retail at prices that created huge paper gains for insiders who then dumped — are the same mechanics that have been used in dozens of smaller token launches over the last five years. The difference is the scale and the political visibility. What's notable is that Sun, who has run similar playbooks himself with TRX and various TRON ecosystem tokens, apparently thought $45M was buying him stable protection. The lawsuit suggests he's concluded it didn't.

Not a stupid question, this is actually a common misunderstanding with Tron. The USDT transfer itself usually does not include a separate TRX payment from another wallet. The TRX you’re seeing afterward is likely a separate transaction (often related to dust/spam or delegated resources), not the actual fee. The easiest way to confirm is checking the transaction details in TronScan under “Resources Consumed & Fee”.

PLAY-on-youR-sErver

I saw this video which has some theories: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdm8HeFrP2I](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdm8HeFrP2I), the argument is that you could mistakenly copy one of those transactions senders as your own address. Seems likely. When you do a USDT Transfer, you are calling a method on the "USDT Contract", which has it's own address. That method subtracts USDT from your balance and credits on the target address you are transferring to. In Tron, transactions use "Bandwidth" and "Energy"; both are to be payed in TRX (which is burnt), it is similar to Ethereum's gas, but has different mechanics. \-Each active Tron Wallet gets 600 Bandwidth free per day. (Active means someone has payed a 1 TRX fee to activate it, for example the first time it receives TRX). \-Energy you get only by staking TRX. Both Bandwidth and Energy can also be delegated from another wallet or contract. There are also markets for "renting" both resources, perhaps useful if you will be doing lots of transactions on a known time span. I think the amount of Bandwidth and Energy a contract consumes is related to the "complexity" of the method you are running. That should be similar to Ethereum. Essentially depending what the method itself does, has fixed rates. Also for Energy there is an extra mechanic: If a Contract gets used a lot by the network, it increases in cost. I believe it goes from 100% (barely used) to 300% (used a lot). In particular, USDT Contract is used a lot, so you are always paying 300% of Energy. In concrete terms, each USDT transfer you make, costs 346 Energy and 130285 Energy. For each 1 Energy, it costs 1/1000 TRX; for each 1 Bandwidth it costs 1/10000 TRX. So 346 Energy = 0.346 TRX and 130285 Energy = 13.0285 TRX. So at most 13.3745 TRX if you have no spare Bandwidth nor Energy. (Also if the USDT Transfer has a "Note" attached, it additionally burns 1 TRX.) You can see this by inspecting a transaction in TronScan, under "Resources Consumed & Fee"; you will also see below on the details that it says "Amount 0 TRX", because it didn't transfer any TRX.

reddit-trk

What is the point of these "spam" transactions? What's there to be gained and by whom? Also, when you send USDT to someone, is the TRX transaction to pay for resources (gas?) a completely separate one or does it stay hidden somewhere? Sorry if I'm asking stupid questions, but aside from reading about this, a lot of it is still a mystery to me. I understand the basic principles of encryption and using it to "sign" transactions so the universe recognizes them as legit, but that's the gist of my understanding. Thanks!

PLAY-on-youR-sErver

It likely is spam. That amount of TRX is basically nothing at all: It's worth nothing. After doing some USDT Transfer, I most likely get some additional transaction where I receive random amounts of TRX, but it always amounts to nothing in value. The sender is some random wallet. Try looking in [tronscan.org](http://tronscan.org); it also marks "malicious transactions". When you do a USDT Transfer, you'll see what you payed in TRX under "Resources Consumed & Fee"; but in the transaction list, the interaction with the USDT contract will have amount 0 TRX; though it did consume resources to do it.

master-beast-72

What you're seeing is TRON's energy delegation model. On TRON, smart contract calls (like USDT transfers) require "Energy" — not TRX directly. If a wallet doesn't have Energy (generated by freezing TRX), it either pays TRX directly for the fees, or another account can delegate Energy to it. The pattern you're describing — tiny TRX arriving at Wallet B within seconds of each USDT transfer, from a consistent third-party wallet — is a classic "energy rental" or fee delegation setup. Services like TronNRG or JustLend let you rent Energy so your users don't need to hold or freeze TRX themselves. Wallet D in your example is almost certainly a fee service relay wallet. For your forensic work, this is actually a significant clue. The fee delegation relationship tells you something about who controls or has a business relationship with Wallet B. You don't pay fees for random stranger wallets — the entity operating that fee service (Wallet D) has a connection to the transactions flowing through Wallet B. If that fee relay wallet is consistently appearing across many different "Wallet B" addresses, those wallets likely all belong to the same operator (exchange, payment processor, OTC desk, etc). Worth checking if Wallet D appears in any TRON labeled address databases or if it's ever been publicly identified. Tronscan and Arkham (as someone mentioned) both have some labeling.

h4l

It'll make more sense if you look at the transaction(s) in a block explorer. Tron uses much the same architecture as Ethereum, and their transactions specify an amount of the native token (TRX for Tron), but this will be 0 for most smart contract calls. For example, here's a random recent USDT transfer transaction on Tron: [https://tronscan.org/transaction/1421171c582ec9cfb7dff0651c8ddaf33ac271509d1a3ac4532ebd85ca56cb99/overview](https://tronscan.org/transaction/1421171c582ec9cfb7dff0651c8ddaf33ac271509d1a3ac4532ebd85ca56cb99/overview) You might find a more powerful analysis tool more useful, e.g this is the same random transaction: [https://arkm.com/explorer/tx/1421171c582ec9cfb7dff0651c8ddaf33ac271509d1a3ac4532ebd85ca56cb99](https://arkm.com/explorer/tx/1421171c582ec9cfb7dff0651c8ddaf33ac271509d1a3ac4532ebd85ca56cb99)

stiofandebrun

Check how TRX works. Google "difference between TRX and Energy". Tron blockchain is different

Illustrious-Boss9356

I'm pretty sure one of the smart contract programmable money L1's will have a place. I'd place the odds at: ETH- 25% BNB- 5% SOL- 5% TRX- 5% ADA- 2% Other New Crypto not in existence today- 25% Other New Crypto not in existence today built by the US Gov or the Fed Reserve in partnership with all the major banks and global payment infrastructure entities like IMF, Bank of Settlements, etc. - 33%

Why won't you get 25 30 TRX yourself?

I’ve owned crypto since 2017 and still hold TRX as my largest holding which I bought in that time…but aren’t we talking about meme coins here? What kind of project do you consider bonk to be? Lmao what a stupid response

r3giment75

I'm down on almost everything I own as well. But my TRX ownership alone has washed out the losses, and am slightly positive. But I barely login to bother. I just buy every few weeks.

actual-magic

I don't use Tron but have extensive experience in DeFi and this is what I'd do: Install a wallet that supports Tron and Ledger connection (like TronLink or TrustWallet, compare what's more comfortable), use the built-in wallet functionality or any Tron DEX to swap to TRX, send that to your exchange. Pro tips: - do it in batches, start small - make sure you use official links - use common sense (i.e. "connect the ledger" doesn't mean "input your seed phrase") - you'll need a small amount of TRX for fees for the initial swap - don't take actions if you're not 100% sure what you're doing

DanielTheTechie

I started shorting TRX. I saw the trend reversal both in daily and in 4H charts with a clear MACD bearish divergence in 1H. Tomorrow or in two days I will tell you how it went, either if I win or if I lose :) Just for the record: my entry is 0.284092, initial SL in 0.287607 and TP in 0.273671. Prices are in EUR.

Who would want the global financial system running on bitcoin? Not bitcoiners, that's for sure. If you're curious, "smart contract" platforms (such as ETH, BNB, SOL, TRX, ADA, etc...) could (And are starting to) handle that.

Patient_Day7829

TRX at least it has utility

Educational_Cable405

The fake token part is honestly the easy bit, anyone can deploy a contract that calls itself USDT and shows whatever balance they want. The part that actually takes money is the step after, where you suddenly can't move it without 'gas' or an activation fee, so you send real TRX or ETH and that's what they were fishing for the whole time. The pretend balance was never the prize, your gas was.

jenya_

Justin Sun is a major owner of TRON. I assume he does not want it to fall. > Outside of technical infrastructure, the concentration of tokens held by founder Justin Sun and affiliated entities has historically drawn scrutiny. Regulatory bodies like the U.S. SEC have previously alleged that wash trading and orchestrated market actions were used to artificially maintain or manipulate TRX trading volume and price discovery.

unification420

Should of just bought TRX and Hodl

Numerous_Ruin_4947

Except BNB and TRX.

financeguruIB

Crazy cuz not a lot of exchanges carry. I buy on Kraken and it’s the only cex i know that supports $TRX

HSuke

I wouldn't put BNB and TRX together. BNB is all right and has utility. TRX has insanely high network fees. $1 transfers, $5 swaps. And that's even after energy and bandwidth discounts. Considering how centralized the network is, you'd expect low fees, but the opposite is happening. This network makes no economic sense.

Numerous_Ruin_4947

I concur. People keep downvoting BNB / TRX-related posts. Yes, those projects are centralized, but at least they kept up with BTC. Honestly, it makes me feel slightly less regarded that I also hold BNB / TRX when I look at my ETH holdings.

Electronic_Quote399

Solana isn't just a side option for these platforms anymore, it's actively woven into how they pull in liquidity and handle trades. Kalshi plugged into the TRON network strictly as a payment option so people can deposit and withdraw using USDT and TRX. The whole app does not run on it. Solana acts as a high velocity settlement rail

callfckingdispatch

TRX is free if you know what you're doing

HSuke

Yeah. I wouldn't blame anyone who lost money on Algo, Nano, Atom, Dot, Iota, etc. They picked what they thought had utility, and still ended up losing out to actual shitcoins like XRP with terrible tokenomics and TRX with high Tx fees.

jawni

Actually they do kind of matter, and are starting to matter more and more. Look at any of the most important "fundamentals" or metrics, and the top of the list will also be the most valuable protocols. ETH, SOL, BNB, TRX, HYPE, these 5 are kind of in their own league and what do you know? They're also some of the most highest valued chains. The highly valued projects with bad fundamentals? Those are starting to drop off. I mean, it's not perfect, you have projects like pump.fun that make $1m per day and have value accrual to the token, but the token seems dead regardless.

cryptoanddown

The entire crypto market is still highly correlated. Assets move together. When in a bear market like we are now. Take a look across the different sectors to see the outliers that are still performing well. These tokens that are performing well when everything else is down can give you a clear insight into building a better diversified portfolio. Take a look at the below watchlist I created for L1s and Native Tokens used for Gas. Trx has typically been a consistent performer compared to ETH and others. New additions CC is performing better than most others over the last 3 months. One metric to take into account is that on a percentage basis, TRX and CC are not as far from their All Time Highs compared to every other token. Diversification for Cryptocurrency is looking across tokens that are not highly correlated. THIS NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE. https://preview.redd.it/koia0q28ph6h1.png?width=1236&format=png&auto=webp&s=3856788b7c7b3ce27a1e15614082cbb26048cb7b

neen209

Too many… I bought 1000 BNB at $10 & sold at $14 (I believe I lost in sats) I had close to 2 million doge one time. I bought $5000 of TRX at 2 cents & it shot up to I believe 24 cents in like 3 days. When I sold, I had 4 BTC. Threw all that BTC into alts & lost majority of it. Had 20k XRP bought at 5 cents…sold a long time ago at like 20 cents. Had like 25k invested in Tellor when it was at like $20….sold it like a month before it ran up to like $600 Honestly…there are so many more instances, but I just got sick to my stomach typing this all out, that I am going to stop now.

Eastern-General-3573

I’ve got a question. I was trying to buy US dollar on the Ethereum network basically tether but on my Kraken trust wallet I accidentally swapped for USDT Tron. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I tried to swap it back for something else, but it required TRX fuel. I went to buy TRX fuel and it said I can’t because I live in New York. I opened a MetaMask account and purchased some TRX fuel and went to send it to Kraken trust wallet, but when I copy the Tron address on the Kraken Trust wallet and paste it on MetaMask, it says invalid address I can’t win.

Constant_Garbage5554

Hey guys, I am completely stuck in a classic TRON network trap. I have $57 of TRC-20 USDT sitting in my wallet, but my TRX balance is exactly 0. Because of that, I can't swap or transfer a single cent out. Can a friendly soul drop me about $5 worth of TRX just so I can execute a swap into Bitcoin and finally spend it today?

This isn't the stock market, there are no blue chips here, ETH is no different than TRX and that's no different than BNB which is no different than XRP. You're gambling over hype, not investing > In fact pretty much every major tech stock has blown btc out of the water in the past 5 years. Recency bias is silly, of course tech (ai) is overperforming in the ai boom > when the narrative of btc was digital gold. Bitcoin is a payment network, don't listen to other people telling you narratives No one should have cryptocurrency as their entire asset portfolio, it's a high risk investment with wild swings, and overperforms/underperforms depending on how it swings and trades. If you want safe go buy ETFs, no barrier to entry Either way, picking and choosing random dates to cherry pick points is pointless, you can make a million narratives, Yoyo here is going to be back here posting in a year (because he's a troll) with some other random nonsense and I'll make fun of him then too

beeshavekneestoo

I know this will bring the hate but why not put TRX on there. It was the saddest bag from 2017, missed all the previous bull runs but is the only coin that has outperformed btc recently. (Also I know it's hated, centralized and Justin suns slush fund, not saying it's a good coin but if omitting it seems odd)

josef3110

While I do agree with the first sentence, I actually disagree with the second. The problem with degen money is, that it is lost after being spent. It may be that people fall for the next scam or meme coin again and again - but at some point in time they have lost everything they have, and stop spending. Other people are smarter and learn after one or more big losses, but they either stop with crypto activity at all, or go for the more serious legit project out there. Actually, one does not have to spend so much time to read and investigate for legit projects. They are pretty easy to find: 1) Have a proper decentralization. i.e. not XRP 2) Have a decent operational track record, i.e. no outages of the chain (not SOL) 3) are running independent from a CEX, i.e., not BNB. 4) does not have a shady creation background, i.e. not TRX.

AdFast1121

Oil is a commodity not an equity. You had to name the same stock twice to make your point. TRX has grown 40% in the same time. We can cherry pick any example we want but the overall trends are trending downward.  Also if you look at the actual numbers and not stale commerce class heuristics, equities, crypto, and precious metals are all moving in tandem in 2025/2026 not as hedges against eachother. Because commodity ETFs makes everything a high risk beta.

LargeSnorlax

Any measure of decentralization is centralization - There's no way around that. If you're relying on a middleman, it's not decentralized, so arguing whether ARB or SOL or TRX or SHIB is more decentralized doesn't really mean anything, they're all the same. > The only way you can be censored is if 8/12 people across the globe from different backgrounds and countries decide otherwise (which is higher than bitcoins 3 required mining pool takeover). The Arbitrum foundation literally controls the chain. Mining pools are not people, this is another tired argument that makes literally no sense and you would never make it if you were ever in a mining pool, since you'd know that your miners have autonomy and you can point them at whatever you want. > Also 40 cents is fucking wild and completely out of touch. Can you imagine if every time you paid at the store 40 cents was a tax you had to pay? You're eating this and more every time you use a credit or debit card, it's just hidden by the store owner like you said. These companies have really good PR, but I promise you that you're paying for their services and that they make absolute bank from you doing so. > Now imagine the average day person USING crypto """currency""". It's the main reason this shit will never be adopted with Bitcoin being the main thing exposed to everyday people. The average person is never using, and will never use cryptocurrency. First - They don't understand what Cryptocurrency is, let alone its purpose. The average person is a complete moron who walks into poles in the street and falls down staircases looking at their phone. Yesterday a girl on her phone faceplanted into a glass window trying to walk through a revolving door, missed the door entirely, then got stuck inside the revolving door because she couldn't pay attention for 2 seconds to push it. That's the average person, a numbskull who evolved the minimum way possible to not get hit by a bus every time they step out their door. They're not going to adopt Bitcoin, they never would in a million years. They listen to Fox news telling them Barack Hussein Obama is the antichrist and donate to pedophiles who tell them they talk to a man in the sky. > Look in just saying the best way for the space to evolve is just get people onboarded to something like ETH first or its most decentralized L2 first aka arbitrum. The best way in this space if you're using these metrics is tell them to use NANO. It's literally free. Make a wallet, I'll send you NANO. Whee, cryptocurrency! It's how I've onboarded many people, and the best thing is, they don't have to worry about decentralization, cost, or speed. It's perfect on all counts! The thing is, NANO doesn't stand up on its own for a reason - What do you think that reason is? The reason is - No one cares about decentralization, cost or speed. If all you use it for is payments, why does it have a value? Why not make it a stablecoin? Why would its price ever need to go up, or down? There's a reason cryptocurrency was *always* niche, and why it will remain niche forever, despite any adoption or regulation - The average person is a moron.

Fuzzy-Combination808

Standard **"Pig Butchering" / Advance Fee fraud**. Good on you for spotting those red flags, OP. Having **186 TRX and 0 Energy** on a $499M TRON wallet is like having a $100 Million Superyacht but only $5 worth of fuel in the tank. It’s entirely fake and purely meant for show. No real OTC desk or institutional whale operates like this. The 12-minute rapid-fire $25M transactions from Bybit are just them leveraging exchange liquidity to stage a prop wallet. They likely don't even own the private keys anymore (it could be a multi-sig or a drained watch-only wallet), or they are waiting to pull the funds back into the exchange the moment you fall for it. Tell them to do an **on-chain message signature** to prove ownership. They will refuse instantly because they can't. Walk away.

Illustrious_Way3898

Look at the TRX vs BTC chart. Oh my!

ChocholateBabe

Not lost, just stuck until you have enough TRX for gas. For small amounts, sometimes it’s not worth fixing. Next time I’d swap through BYDFi or another exchange, then send LTC only.

Positive_Duty_8839

i mean other than buying it on coinbase or any other platform, doing the same thing would be fine. you can transfer it back to ltc once you have the TRX required to cover the fees for the transaction, because you swapped to USDT on the tron network (there’s a lot of different crypto networks, and the same stable coins can be on a lot of different networks).

No1worldchamp

I feel it’s a good time to buy most crypto right now as it’s down so much. Im stacking all the below every couple of weeks: SOL,TRX,LTC,AVAX,ADA,SUI, MON

CrazyAppel

u got sandwiched by a MEV bot. 1. bot sees u make sell order 2. bot instantly makes same order but puts gas fees way higher 3. because of this wOCT price drops 4. your transaction goes through on much lower price (10-15% loss) 5. bot buys back the wOCT and pockets your loss Although yes, you got attacked, and it's not REALLY a slippage/liquidity issue, but it IS relevant. The only reason this MEV bot was able to do this is because it knew there wouldnt be any other transactions happening during this time. You can only assume this risk if the coin has low liquidity. In the end, the issue is with you, YOU decided to swap from wOCT to USDT instead of manually making multiple swaps from wOCT to ETH to TRX to USDT. You may claim that it was an attack and not your fault, but I can also claim you are lazy and risked so much to save some time...

Diamondcask

Yes. Buybacks are pumping price up as well. It seems every day I go back to it a new floor is created. I know of bitcoins future value and inflation hedge, however as of right now I'm gaining the upside of being all in on TRX for a while. I just get the feeling Justin Sun wants success for it and buys a lot more every day.

MCL-Jonathan

ya, you're right TRX been performing, but this type of performance are just pure speculation, so for me still a bit of a risk.

Diamondcask

Noo just buy the TRX 🙂

No1worldchamp

LTC is my no1 pick for upside, followed by TRX

Diamondcask

A lot of money has been flowing to TRX because of how it benefits investors who hold long term, and 1000 other reasons I could list, but yea 😅

Diamondcask

Don't touch my TRX tho 😤

tornavec

The least you could have done was stake your crypto. You’d have covered part of the loss, maybe even all of it. I got that tip from Cryptomus back in the day. Their TRX rate got me through the crypto winter with no losses. And on MEXC, I straight-up made X’s on Canton

CryptoNommmad

The gas thing trips up everyone once. TRON needs a small amount of TRX in the same wallet to pay the transfer fee, the USDT cant pay for its own movement. Two ways out. Buy 10-15 TRX (couple dollars) via P2P and send it to that wallet, then your USDT moves fine. Or if its an exchange account, depositing TRC20 USDT into Binance or Bybit usually works without holding TRX because the exchange covers the deposit gas

Diamondcask

I'll give you some real advice here. Get TRX. Not trying to FOMO you into it.. but I know the market isn't expecting what's coming 😉 real upside.

tornavec

Bro, Bitcoin has only lagged the S&P 500 by 10% in five years — that's not a huge gap. But I'm going heavy into TRX myself. That coin has done over 100% in five years, plus I'm getting another 100% from staking on Cryptomus. Good luck staking the S&P 500

EdgeByContext

Spreading $250 across eight different assets each month can create a noticeable drag on your capital through recurring exchange and network fees. While your core weight in BTC and ETH provides a solid structural foundation, the smaller allocations to legacy networks like ADA, XRP, and TRX often underperform current market momentum. Consolidating those tail-end positions into your top three or four highest-conviction assets will simplify your risk management and reduce those friction costs. This approach keeps you exposed to established liquidity without diluting your monthly capital into older narratives that struggle to capture new market share.

Sothisismylifehuh

The value is not in moving dollars. The value is in creating an open financial execution layer. Tron is highly centralized. If the success of blockchains is reduced to invisible plumbing for simply moving dollars around, then owning the plumbing token TRX may very well become much less valuable than owning the institutions, issuers, and financial networks built on top of it. That's why.

Diamondcask

Don't forget TRX for actual growth.

Choice_Potato_6279

You're right, ETH sucks ass even more than back then, TRX or BNB holds value way better than this garbo.

Choice_Potato_6279

No one talks about it or TRX so they outperform, any other coin is cursed by normies here.

SeriousGains

Please tell me when TRX will dip. I’m beginning to worry that I won’t be able to buy more.

Moist-Pumpkin-5336

Not sure what you're talking about, my whole portfolio is in TRX.

tornavec

No one is going to share a system with you that actually works. I’ll only say one thing: I don’t see the point in intraday trading if it’s not based on the order book. And personally, I feel like the extreme volatility of crypto makes futures trading impossible. Spot trading, on the other hand, has an advantage if you only trade from the long side. Whenever my position goes into loss, I put it into staking. That’s how I survived the crypto winter with TRX and even made a profit, thanks to the high APY on Cryptomus. By the way, that’s also where I trade using an order book bot. I once wrote a post here with my strategy

RealCryptoCrank

Remember. We do not have quarterly reports for crypto like stocks. So when you “invest” the determining factor for the product is …does it still have devs working? Gaining partnerships? Being used in real world use cases? These are a must for me to even think about investing. My portfolio for institutional bullrun/institutional bear market is BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, TRX, HYPE.

Ecliphon

So they drained your USDT, sent a dust tx of TRX, then drained your TRX? Any chance you and your friend shared devices or traded wallet files?

Ben McKenzie made a movie about how Bitcoin is a scam. Terrance Howard says Bitcoin is going to die. No one cares. I’ve been invested in both TRX and BTC for almost 10 years and will continue investing in both. You can keep calling it a scam all you like.

Dude, what year is it in your head? BTC has been at a different price forever. And what's the deal with alts? TRX just printed a new ATH for the fifth time in two weeks, lol. You just need good analytics. I follow CryptoQuant and lurk the Cryptomus forum. That's where all the obscure indicators and insider plays are at

SakociusJJ

i do however like GS, MSFT, GOOGL more than BTC & TRX... opportunity costs...

tacs97

I should buy some TRX just to help push this law suit!

FriendsMade_MeDoIt

yeah TRC20 just means the Tron network, not the coin itself. you don’t have to send TRX, a lot of people actually send USDT on TRC20 because fees are super low. the main thing is you need a wallet or exchange that specifically supports withdrawals on the TRC20 network. not all apps do, so that’s probably why you’re not seeing it on Kast. my friends ran into that too and had to switch apps. basic flow we usually follow: buy USDT on an exchange that supports TRC20 withdrawals when you withdraw, pick “TRC20” as the network paste your relative’s TRC20 wallet address exactly send a small test amount first before the full transfer the network part is the scary bit because if you pick the wrong one, it’s basically gone. everyone I know double and triple checks that step lol.

People are giving you confusing advice. You only need two things: (1) Your relative's wallet address and (2) an account with Kraken or Gemini. Kraken and Gemini both support USDT on the Tron network, so all you need to do is fund your exchange account, buy however much USDT you want to send, and withdraw it straight to your relative's wallet address. You do not need a self-custodial wallet of your own, you do not need to buy TRX, you do not need to know what "gas" is. Those are certainly concepts you could explore if you want, but it's not necessary for what you've described.

The TRX coin is the coin that acts as the "gas" coin while on the Tron network. I personally prefer the Ethereum network or the Polygon network. But if your relative insists that it must be on the Tron network, then I guess it must be on the Tron network. Instead of "gas", thinking of it as a "postage stamp" might be a better analogy. If you wanted to mail a $100 bill to your relative, you have to put the $100 bill in the envelope but also put a stamp on it. In this example, the $100 bill is the USDT token and the stamp is the TRX coin. In short, TRX is the coin used to pay the fee for using the Tron network. Just like, the stamp is how you pay for using the post office. You can send USDT (or any other TRC20) if you want, but the fee is paid in the "gas" coin. The "gas" coin is TRX.

Tron is a network and TRC20 just means that it's a token that exists on the Tron network. (ERC20 means it exists on the Ethereum network.) Gas is like putting a stamp on an envelope do that the post office will deliver your mail. The stamp doesn’t cost very much, but you must have it in order for the post office to deliver. It doesn't matter how much cash is in your pocket, because the cash isn't a stamp. You need the stamp. On the Tron network, the gas (the stamp, in the example above) is the **TRX** coin. It doesn't matter how much USDT you have, those tokens aren't moving without the correct gas coin (correct stamp). First, you'll need to find out which Tron address your USDT got sent to. Then, you need to realize that you can't move that unless that Tron address also has **TRX** for gas. Once that Tron address has sufficient **TRX** for gas, you can move your USDT to wherever it needs to go. If you're sending to a centralized exchange, **be sure that this exchange supports USDT on the Tron network**. Failure to confirm this could result in a loss of funds. So how much is a "sufficient" amount of **TRX**? * It's dynamic. It varies based on how busy the network is. Think of it as "surge pricing" similar to Uber. The more people that are using the network right now, the higher the gas fee. * I don't use Tron so I can't tell you for sure. As I type this, Ethereum gas is about $0.09 worth of ETH to move an ERC20 token. But Tron isn't Ethereum. Tron's gas prices might be considerably higher.

You will only need TRX for transfer gas if using an app. On exchanges, the transfer fees are normally paid in USDT.

LessRule6574

Hi, will try to explain as simple as possible. TRC20 is the transfer protocol on the TRON network. TRX is the crypto token of the TRON network. When a transaction needs to be processed on the TRON network and you are using an app Wallet, it will require small amount of TRX to pay for that transaction. If you are transferring via an exchange, you do not need to pay the fee with TRX (my recommended option for you!) Now, what do you need to get it done via a reputable crypto exchange: - open an account on a trusted crypto exchange (I recommend Kraken or Coinbase) and make sure you verify your account so everything goes smooth. - deposit/send FIAT (ex: USD/EUR/Your country's currency) from your bank account to your exchange account (ask the exchange's support if you need clear guidance) - buy USDT (if in EU buy USD instead) - ask your relative for the USDT (TRC20) deposit address - create a test transfer (by using a small amount) from your exchange to his address and make sure the selected network is TRON (TRC20). - wait for your relative to confirm he received the test transfer - create a 2nd transfer to the same address and you are done. Feel free to let me know if you get stuck.

The learning curve is steep if you're starting at zero. Its pretty easy to fuck up too. Where are you going to buy the crypto from? Binance? In a nutshell, you need three things: a wallet (e.g. Metamask or tronwallet), gas token (e.g. Tron, which has the code TRX), and the token you want to send (i.e. USDT). Metamask is easy and you can install it to your browser, like chrome, but be careful because there are a ton of fake links...best to install it from metamask official website. Go watch some video tutorials and ask chatgpt to walk you through the process...because people suck.

I have no idea what's TRX for gas, or what apps to use still lol.

Covenant did this and they are already being blacklisted by the entire TAO community and other AI projects as well. Dare (Covenant) was deleting any and all negative posts on the discord from some of his pretty smart subnet users who noticed the subnets had been starting to underperform by pretty big and concerning metrics.. showing actual numbers and charts. Dare was trying to hide the info from community members on discord and ban the subnet users from future commenting, which is the epitomy of centralized tactics. Steve's (TAO) temporarily stopped him from deleting all these messages.. (aligning with Tao's mission) making sure the community could see what was discovered with the concerning underperforming metrics, and be able to make decisions for themselves. Dare started cashing out the 37,000 tokens (10mil) on the 3 subnets and then completely shut off the subnets 6hours before letting the community of investors know he was basically just mad that Steve's caught him and stopped him from silencing members on discord. Dare essentially pulled a Justin Sun (TRX) and rug pulled all his investors, deliberately timing the exit to maximize profits for himself while leaving all of his retail community at nearly a total loss. Dare (covenant) lost all credibility just like Justin Sun has. He'll more than likely be sued and lose. Most will never trust him with their money ever again. TAO is already in the process of updated which would prevent any subnet from being able to rug pull ever again. TAO is going to be just fine. Price will bounce back higher than ever after these new upgrades caused by Covenants transgressions.

Tried RocketX Exchange vs Houdini Swap on the same route: **10,000 USDC (Base → OP)** * RocketX: \~9,990 returned * Houdini: \~9,869 returned Didn’t expect that big of a gap honestly. Then checked speed with **USDT → TRX**: * RocketX routed in a few minutes * Other routes I’ve used before can take much longer (sometimes \~30 mins) Also noticed differences in limits — RocketX seems to handle much larger swaps compared to others. Not trying to hype anything, just sharing what I saw while testing. Curious what others here are using for cross-chain swaps lately? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Yeah it's gonna end up along with neo, iota, vet, nano graveyard like all the other reddit coins. What's funny most reddit hated coins are doing pretty good - BNB and TRX, still though it's better to go all in Bitcoin than alts that barerly match BTC performance.

fan_of_hakiksexydays

Officially they are accepting stablecoins and yuan. There are also rumors that they accept other cryptocurrencies and euros. We already know the Iranian government has funds, and has wallets that have been using and accepting BTC, ETH, USDT, XRP, LTC, and TRX.

CrazyAppel

So if you have a binance account, why not get TRX there and then transfer it to ur wallet so u can get your wallet content out?

Rig_Chop

As a Tron TRX holder since 2017, I'm laughing at the crypto market doing what it's doing. Cheers see you on the other side.

Additional-Channel21

That idea makes sense and a lot of traders do use BTC as a guide for the overall direction. But correlations in crypto are not always stable. Sometimes an alt like SOL moves with BTC, and sometimes it completely decouples and does its own thing. You’ll often see moments where BTC is sideways or even dropping while a specific alt starts running because of its own momentum. TRX is actually a good example of that sometimes — it doesn’t always move the same way as BTC.

Defiant-Witness07

TRX has network activity and partnerships. Altura Trade’s market‑neutral strategies show how diversified execution can matter more than just holding a single token long term.

Post is by: Ok-Consideration-88 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1s45z9e/opinions_on_trx/ What you think are the long term prospects for Tron? It seems to have pretty good growth year after year, and the recent partnership with Mastercard makes me think we’re going to see more widespread adoption of TRX. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

cherche1bunker

Have you tried Monero? It’s a little more impractical. Also it can’t be bought on major exchange, at least not that I found. But it’s private. Bitcoin is more popular so more sellers use it. But lots of people use stable coins, on ETH or TRX. That’s my experience buying stuff with crypto in the internet at least.

Windsofchange92

TRON TRX isn't bleeding.

CrazyAppel

what kind of proof do you want? XDD just visit any crackhead forum like hackforums, cracked, nulled or whatever, all the anon crypto payment processors mainly accept TRX. He was also previously investigated for this: [https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2023-59](https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2023-59) here is another investigation on him for manipulating his coin with his other coin btt: [https://www.sec.gov/enforcement-litigation/litigation-releases/lr-25803](https://www.sec.gov/enforcement-litigation/litigation-releases/lr-25803) here is CZ snitching on justin sun: [https://thedefiant.io/news/regulation/wsj-binance-s-cz-cooperated-doj-against-justin-sun-4-3b-settlement-case-da39cf98](https://thedefiant.io/news/regulation/wsj-binance-s-cz-cooperated-doj-against-justin-sun-4-3b-settlement-case-da39cf98) if you can't tell how deep Tronix is in the crime world, you are simply blind or incredibly ignorant. These are only the public stuff too, I can tell you with 99% certainty that they both (CZ and Justin Sun) helped darkweb market vendors use their exchanges (binance, poloniex, huobi) to offramp hundreds of millions. These vendors sold drugs, cp or other degenerate shit, this are the morons you are praising, gratulations.
