As a result of you visiting my post on the good business example set by Ledger @bdempsey, I have come to read this post of yours. Thank you for taking the time to write it.
I happen to have some TRON. Which were "air dropped" on me ... "Free money" is always enticing to others, but I tend to look at it with more than a fair amount of skepticism.
In reading through this, you seem a bit hesitant to fully endorse, for the reasons you cite. Seems to fall under the old "if it appears too good to be true, it probably isn't ..." saying.
Time is always challenging for me, to follow-up. I will make a note of your post here, though, should I ever decide to take a closer look at TRON. For now, I am content to just let it appreciate in value, if it has any future to it at all. Rather than get actively involved, as I chose to do months ago with my STEEM investment ... :)
