TRON founder Justin Sun could be taking Chinese orders while tweeting
So I've just connected some dots. I thought Justin Sun was free because he has been in San Francisco recently. A few different news articles proved he had been there by means of pictures and videos. He was never been reported to be anywhere else.
I was looking into something else two hours ago (from finishing this article after a lot of digging), regarding the location of mining farms... And I decided to look up where San Francisco is, just in case, because it might be a good place to mine coins, justifying Sun's insistence in being there. Uhh, San Francisco is in a coastal area. Right next to China. Why would he not want to be anywhere else? Turns out there is a Chinese embassy in that city. In my opinion, he is under custody.
Let's assume I'm right. His constant tweeting and recent appearance on a state-backed Chinese newspaper make it obvious he has joined (willingly or not) groups of powerful people. His opinion is approved by tyrant China. In this case, the world may consider any words from him as if they were gossip driven by their government. Whoever he's joking around with on Twitter is, therefore, part of the same market manipulation group. That includes Tesla from Elon Musk, which also explains little things like some defi apps (SNX comes to mind) offering Tesla and no more than a handful of other non-fiat options to invest in.
This is ill news for the entire crypto market, because it means it's currently very susceptible to the will of no more than a single group. Crypto might be a lot more centralized than we could expect. Although that is not so surprising... How many of you have bought or sold through means of actual peer-to-peer lately, specially using a fee-less token? Not many, I presume.
