Justin Sun and his projects are known for their formidable strength and potency in the blockchain space. The combination of Tron and BitTorrent has been recognized as the creation of the decentralized giant network, there is high certainty the network will increase the adoption of cryptocurrency considering the number of users that frequent the platform daily.

Regarding the BitTorrent File System [BTFS] SUN said:

Using BTFS, you can mount the torrent file or magnet link as a directory and then use it as any read-only directory in your file tree. The contents of the files will be downloaded on-demand as they are read by applications. Since BTFS runs on top of FUSE, it does not require intervention into the Linux Kernel.

MMeanwhile, BTT rose by 18% the same day, which showed that the crypto industry was betting on something big going on with BTT.

“With its ICO raising $7 million 3 months ago, @BitTorrent now has a market cap of $340 million. Realizing that BitTorrent Speed, BitTorrent Live & #BFST launching very soon is mind-boggling.”
