TRON’s Founder Justin Sun Spent $20 Million On New Twitter Followers

It seems that the man behind the legendary altcoin TRON, Justin Sun, is in the cryptocurrency news every single week. This week, we are seeing reports that show that Justin Sun has spent more than $20 million to supposedly gain the likes of new Twitter followers.

Sun has been bidding for even more recognition from the Twitter world by organizing an airdrop that is supposedly worth $20 million – which is not the reason he is giving things publicly.

As his recent tweet reads:

“To celebrate BitTorrent Token & Tether – TRON success, I am planning a USD 20 million free cash airdrop. Good news – it’s coming, bad news – I may decide to give away more! First, I will randomly pick 1 winner for a Tesla up until 3/27! To apply, follow me and RT this tweet! Simple!”

Obviously, the celebration might be the main reason for this giveaway. However, Justin Sun has been on the hunt for more followers on Twitter for a while, overtaking many project leaders behind some of the biggest altcoins in the top 20 . He has also paid big sums to promote his profile and was very delighted when he overtook Ethereum’s co-founder and main political figure Vitalik Buterin in terms of the follower count.

Ultimately, this giveaway may see Justin Sun reach the one million goal in terms of followers. Right now, Sun has around 950,000 followers which are increasing by the minute. Even though these followers don’t care much about his personal reasons, they are still in the loop.

As one Twitter user with a handle @SmokeyXBT wrote:

“Still not exactly sure how BTT was a success but as long as he gives away money I don’t care what his definition is.”

What is also interesting are the rules of the competition which are yet to be released. Even though many speculate that a single winner may take the $20 million USD worth in the airdrop, others claim that the winnings will be divided by some criteria.

Like him or not, Justin Sun is always doing his best to promote cryptocurrencies, promote TRON and in every single way get more followers to his work.
