TRX

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

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?

SeriousGains

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.

tornavec

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.

Logical_Lemming

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.

bricarp

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.

bricarp

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.

LessRule6574

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.

ripple_mcgee

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.

VirtualCoffee8947

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

Wide_Structure_5442

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.

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.

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.

Galavanta

Have a look at alphasquared thats how I do PnL for btc, ETH, SOL ADA, DOT, BNB LINK... Just plug in deposits and it tracks everything with historical price DCA splits, sells, compounding. The key feature is it doesn’t just spit totals,it actually tells you market risk day by day so you know if your PnL is about to evaporate or not. Stops me from taking blind profits or just holding through dumb cycles. I dont really care about BCH or TRX but maybe some do. Ads would annoy me wouldn’t pay unless I could track everything portfolio-wide not just BTC. if it works like alphasquared risk + portfolio + history, people will use it. If it’s just wallet lookup and history math, most will stick to their own spreadsheets or what exchanges offer.

tornavec

You should consider investing in Tron. Staking TRX offers 20% APY, and its market cap is higher than ATOM

sam-messa789

Sorry if this is against the rules... but would anyone be willing to send like $2 worth of TRX to me? the reason is because i received usdt on the tron network from a friend, I don't have access to an exchange to buy tron myself to transfer it to the ethereum network, and to exchange stuff for tron you apparently need it (...?). I can give the address via DM if someone is willing, thank you.

your goal is mainly fee savings on TRON, staking TRX is good for consistent usage since it gives you regular energy. But for occasional transactions, renting energy can be more flexible and cost-efficient.you can check TronMax for this — it lets you stake TRX, rent energy when needed, and even sell unused energy, so you’re not locking funds unnecessarily while still reducing fees.

Low-cap coins can give big returns but they’re also very high risk, especially if fundamentals and transparency aren’t strong. In bearish markets, focusing on utility-driven ecosystems usually feels safer than chasing speculative plays. On a side note, I’ve been exploring TRON mainly for low transaction fees. Is staking TRX the best way to save on fees, or do people usually rent energy instead?

Hard to say if it’s insider or just a well-timed whale position big players usually move based on liquidity and market structure. Retail only sees it after the move.,By the way, I mostly use TRON for USDT transfers. I’m holding some TRX now is staking enough to reduce fees, or is energy renting a better option?

Chemical_Location262

If your main goal is lowering transaction fees, staking TRX for energy is usually the base strategy. But it can lock your funds for a while and sometimes the generated energy isn’t always enough for heavy usage. For me, I started using TronMax alongside staking I stake some TRX there, rent extra energy only when needed, and it helps keep fees more predictable. Gives a bit more flexibility than just relying on staking alone.

Extreme-Fold-8492

Big players buying the dip despite heavy losses really shows long-term conviction. Markets move in cycles, and utility-driven chains usually stay relevant through all phases. On a side note, I’ve been considering staking some TRX mainly to reduce transaction fees ,is that the most efficient approach or is renting energy better?

Mammoth_Carry4325

Cycle-based predictions are interesting, but timing the exact bottom/top is always tricky. Meanwhile I’m accumulating some utility tokens too — is staking TRX a good long-term strategy?

Chemical_Location262

Community support Plus liquidity definitely plays a big role in any token’s growth. On TRON though, I’ve noticed actual network utility matters a lot more because of energy/bandwidth mechanics. If someone is actively using TRON, is it better to freeze/stake TRX for energy or just rent energy when needed?

So, this article basically mentions that China doesn't want anyone making a crypto-RMB or crypto-Yuan. RWA projects are a bit different from your run-of-the-mill new alt-coins made in China like TRX or NEO. If I must object to anything at all, it's the fact that this is a repost of the same news source that someone posted 2 weeks ago.

Yes a fiat currency is very different from Luna. Regardless of regional instability, the Dinar is backed by the GDP of a very oil rich country. Luna however was basically a house of cards that was riding on the mania you mentioned that the entire market was experiencing thanks to Covid stimulus checks. I could be wrong but when Luna failed to defend its peg, one can easily liken that to regional instability, which quite effectively chased away the majority of liquidity very rapidly. You mentioned that I forgot how Luna intended to defend its peg because it failed completely. You seem to have forgotten (or maybe you don’t know) what caused Luna to depeg in the first place. Do Kwon built a house of cards that was so over leveraged that CZ and Sam Bankman-Fried blew away with only a few vague tweets. Do kwon didn’t help anything by becoming a global fugitive and going to prison. Overcoming all that negativity is not likely to occur. Especially when you have Justin Suns TRX succeeding where Luna failed, allegedly. I’ll agree with you though. There certainly is a non-zero chance that it could come back. But so could the Dinar lmao.

POVs are subjective and do not represent all of our moderation team. I used to think TRX is a scam. It is still in the top 10. I don't speak for all moderators when I say this, but I also do not have a reason to think that mod has broken any rules.

Post is by: Mammoth_Carry4325 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1r86p7f/hey_guys/ I’ve been experimenting a bit with reducing my TRON transaction costs lately, especially for USDT transfers where small burns slowly add up over time. One thing I’ve noticed is that more platforms are now supporting multiple wallet connections (TronLink, Trust Wallet, TokenPocket, WalletConnect, etc.), which actually makes it easier to test different strategies without being locked into a single setup. While exploring this, I also came across services that let you either stake TRX to generate energy or rent energy when needed instead of constantly burning TRX on every transaction. For example, I tried using TronMax just to see how the flow works with staking + renting energy, and it made me realize how much flexibility TRON users actually have now compared to before. Not saying it’s the perfect solution yet, but it does feel like the ecosystem is slowly moving toward giving users more control over how they manage resources instead of just holding TRX idle and paying fees each time. Curious how others here are optimizing their TRX usage: Do you just hold and accept the burn? Stake to generate energy? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Post is by: More_Ad3831 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1r7fn9b/the_art_of_comparison/ My system is a **Trend Following system and a Rotation system** that has 2 types of indicators inside. First I had a bunch of trend indicators and I was taking the average signal from every indicator and take a decision from the final score. But this type of system had one major issue which was getting a bit late on the market, so I took shorter term momentum indicators and I adjusted them to fire a Buy signal before my previous indicators and making sure that is stable and not making mistakes. This made my system to fire very early signals, but there was deferent problem. When the signal was fired I was investing on BTC then maybe rotating to Ethereum or Solana because they made more gains than BTC. Sometimes that wasn't working really good because on the Down days ETH and SOL made big drawdowns. So I created a comparison system that working like this: I took the 10-15 major alts from the market and I compared every single coin with another coin Like ETH/SOL or DOGE/XRP. This made my whole system so robust that has an actual **4,39 Sortino ratio** which **this means we aren't just 'winning we are winning with 4x less downside pain than the average trader.** Here I have the most recent signal that my system fired from 4 January until 20 January. If we where just allocated on BTC that time the results where **-2,4%** that means the signal was False, but with the **Comparison system that I created we got 8,06%** that means not only we didn't loose from a false signal **we outperformed that by 10,50%** Here's the signals also written 3 January SUI, 16 January SOL, 17 January TRX and 20 January GOLD. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Post is by: InnerRelief1472 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1r6ibth/hey_guys_i_want_to_share_something_helpful/ I’ve been using USDT on the TRON network for quite some time, and I genuinely wanted to share something I personally noticed. Sometimes while transferring USDT, the transaction ends up burning more TRX than expected, especially when you don’t have enough energy. It can get pretty frustrating if you do frequent transfers. I’m not trying to promote anything blindly — I honestly just wanted to share a solution that helped me reduce fees. I found that using energy instead of letting TRX burn can save a noticeable amount on transactions. I came across TronMax, which basically helps provide energy and bandwidth so transactions become cheaper and smoother. If anyone here is struggling with high TRX fees, I found this step-by-step guide helpful: https://tronmax.io/how-to-buy-tron-energy-bandwidth-step-by-step� Hope this helps someone. Would love to hear if you guys use any other methods to reduce TRX fees. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

The creators said "DOGE will always be inflationary" and right there it was dead. BNB LTC ETH TRX BCH are all deflationary. Why bother with DOGE.

TRC20 transfers are usually cheap, but the confusion comes from how TRON handles fees. On TRON, transactions require Energy and Bandwidth. If you don’t have enough Energy, the network burns TRX to execute the contract call (which USDT transfers are). That’s why the fee suddenly looks high. A few ways to reduce the cost: • Hold a small amount of TRX in the wallet — you need TRX to pay for Energy if you don’t have it staked. • Stake (freeze) TRX to get free Energy for transactions. • Use platforms that temporarily “rent” Energy — some exchanges handle this automatically. • Check if the wallet you’re using supports Energy estimation before sending. TRC20 is still cheaper than ERC20 in most cases, but only if you understand the Energy model. If you’re moving funds frequently, staking a bit of TRX usually pays for itself quickly.

LargeSnorlax

Well, it's not like ALGO or ARB are really old coins either (ARB is from 2023...) so there's not much to compare to in the top 100 - BNB is its own thing, XRP still has a bit of gas from the SEC win, TRX just exists Honestly, a good market indicator is probably DOGE. In the depths of 2020 it was $0.053 and we're *pretty* close to that now. Dogecoin is probably your strongest "retail is in" signal

Chemical_Location262

You can do this always keep a small amount of TRX balance in the wallet to prevent transaction failures if Energy runs out. And another one pretty good option and one of the best solution is renting Energy from https://tronmax.io/ ,When I rent Energy, I don’t have to use or burn my TRX, and The transaction cost by reduce up to 80%.

It’s because most TRX is owned by Sun so he controls the coins price.

Schrezberatina

TRX is such an oddity. It is stable in a bear market where everything else is struggling. Even compared to its pre-Oct price, TRX barely dipped. I don't understand why. This sub says because alot of USDT moves through it. Unsure if that's the real reason.

BroScience2025

Me personally, I mostly operate on TRON, so I use SunSwap which is right in TronLink to swap between SUN, JUST, TRX, USDT, etc. I don't really operate on other chains anymore, as all my LP's perps, etc. are all on the Network. I like to keep my life simple. That being said, lots of people I know on Discord and Telegram use MetaMask for this purpose, which might be worth investigating for you.

Yes, but why? It has a low validator count, and most chains with that few validators are extremely cheap to run and have average Tx fees of $0.001. Tron's average Transaction fees are currently $0.60-$1, and this is AFTER free bandwidth/energy subsidies that users can get from staking TRX. If it weren't for the staking subsidies, the average Tx fees would be around $10/Tx. And it was even higher last year. There are so many cheap, semi-centralized chains. Why are people using Tron when fees are so high? The only explanation I have is that there is so much demand for it. But what's causing that demand?

Calm_Situation_1131

This is a surprisingly high tx fee for Tron. But my pro sub LLM is telling me stablecoin transfers on Tron are between $0.70 to $2.80 if you don't have Energy or Bandwidth, which are TRX gas alternatives that can make the tx free. Apparently, many apps subsidize the stablecoin transfers for their users. The chain uses an insecure, heavily centralized dPOS model but I suppose their users don't care about security until they are forced to care.

Juuampi1

I started in crypto April 2021 and the main chain to do P2P was TRX by far (I’m from Argentina), since 2022 I’m in Europe and since 2023 BSC and APT began to be faster and cheaper than TRX but I think a bunch of people still using TRX for P2P

>As for the rest: * BNB - gas token for a centralized shitchain controlled by a single exchange * XRP - enough said * SOL - the shitcoin engine that can't scale and routinely fails to execute * TRX - I got nothing bad to say but honestly forget it still exists * DOGE - Who is going to take that seriously * BCH - shitcoin trading on the bitcoin name This speaks more to your own bias or gaps in knowledge then it does the industry.

StatisticalMan

I likely am going to piss everyone off but .. I mean honestly the top 10 is why nobody takes crypto seriously. Bitcoin ok. It was first. Even if it is is replaced someday that day hasn't come yet. Ethereum obvious belongs in there. Arguably the most useful L1 even more so than bitcoin (although that hasn't helped the price). USDT and USDC ok. They aren't really crypto investments. As for the rest: * BNB - centralized shitcoin for a centralized shitchain controlled by a single exchange? * XRP - enough siad * SOL - the shitcoin engine that can't scale and routinely fails to execute * TRX - I got nothing bad to say but honestly forget it still exists * DOGE - Who is going to take that seriously * BCH - shitcoin trading on the bitcoin name Imagine if the Mag7 was this derpy.

BarkMetal

Can’t disagree on that. I was a TRX maxi but sold millions many years ago because of this sub and the overall sentiment towards it. Biggest mistake. It went from $0.018 to $0.3. And I could have staked my bag all these years as well.

No_Giraffe_4647

No downvote TRX look solid

PaulieWoz

I'm probably going to get down voted, but check out TRX. If you strictly look at the technicals and the chart over the last 5 years, it outperformed BTC and most other top 20 coins. When everything else drops. TRX stays flat thanks to USDT. I'd say it's a good hedge and holding it along with BTC/ETH might be a good idea. Sprinkle in some silver, gold and a global equity ETF and I think you'd do just fine. :) Now I know how we all feel about these two, but you can't deny it's resilience when everything else dumps. PS. I don't own any TRX but my FIL does and rubs it in my face every time the market dumps. LoL

tldr; A finance blogger, Zeng Ying, claiming to be Justin Sun's ex-girlfriend, has accused the Tron founder of market manipulation and insider trading. She alleges Sun artificially inflated TRX's price and dumped it on retail investors, using Binance accounts registered to employees in Beijing. Ying claims to have reported evidence to the SEC and accuses Sun of spreading false information about her. She also alleges Sun illegally fled China in 2018. Sun dismissed the claims as 'FUD.' The SEC has an ongoing case against Sun for alleged market manipulation. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.
