In a recent tweet storm, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin had a lot to say following comments made about Ethereum being a hype coin in the last bull run. Tron’s Justin Sun, aka the shill king, commented on Ethereum being a hype coin in the last bull run. Something Buterin strongly disagrees with.
Sun tweeted about Ethereum and Vitalik following an article titled “Ethereum [ETH]’s Vitalik Buterin: Next wave of crypto adoption is not going to be built on hype” posted by AMBCrypto.
Sun tweeted regarding the article, stating “#TRON will lead next bull run built on massive adoption dapps and @BitTorrent . #TRX $TRX”
Vitalik: next wave of crypto is not going to be built on hype.@VitalikButerin admits that #ETH lead the 2017 bull run built on hype. #TRON will lead next bull run built on massive adoption dapps and @BitTorrent . #TRX $TRXhttps://t.co/svKJBWyQKq

The tweet did not go down well with Buterin who responded directly to the tweet, ultimately calling Sun a “self-identified shill and not worth listening to.”
Heuristic #103: anyone who puts a dollar sign followed by a ticker symbol in their tweet is basically a self-identified shill and not worth listening to.

Buterin goes on further to mock Tron, by insisting the only way to become as successful as Tron has become, is to “throw your coin into a list of other coins that you know the recipients of your shilling already approve of and get them to associate your coin as “one of the pack”,” he tweeted.
The Ethereum head man also criticized the fact that Sun inserts the dollar sign instead of a hashtag when tweeting about tron ($TRX) – “Also the dollar signs. The darned {{deity}}-awful dollar signs…”

Sun has yet to respond. However the battle continues between Ethereum and Tron.
TRON: Always “doing things” in blockchain space so we can brag about the“the things we did.”
