Eric Wall on Bittorrent Token Head of Research at Arcane Crypto
TRX & BTT's primary use case is a public crowdfunded marketing campaign to get Justin Sun's face on as many things as possible and next to as many famous people as possible.

Honestly, I never had doubts that BTT would be able to handle its capacity requirements. I find it ridiculous that you even need to use a private sidechain for BTT and can't use the Tron DPoS mainchain (when it's marketed as something that could "decentralize the entire web")....
So why latch this BTT sidechain on to Tron and not something actually useful? How about using something that isn't mostly just an unpatched fork of the buggy EthereumJ implementation (without even giving proper open-source license attribution)?
How about latching on to a mainchain where the development isn't being copied, stolen, half-assedly thrown together into what essentially is already a private blockchain, and where it perhaps *isn't* led by a technologically illiterate narcissistic deceptive egomaniac?
