Justin Sun Waits For Vitalik Buterin In The “Proof Of Stake Family”
Justin Sun and Vitalik Buterin have been battling out each other not only through their products but also on Twitter. The tense relationship between Vitalik Buterin and Justin Sun stretches back to the origins of TRON. In the past, Buterin has extensively criticized Sun’s blatant plagiarism in TRON’s whitepaper, taking excerpts directly from IPFS and FileCoin, and then using the code without attribution.
Sun recently released his ambitions of 2019, one of which was to outpace Ethereum ecosystem growth. Just last month, in a Tweet uploaded by Sun, he quoted Vitalik Buterin saying that he admits that Ethereum led the 2017 bull run built on hype. About TRON he mentioned that it will lead the next bull run built on massive adoption of decentralized applications.
Anyways, the next round of battle has been fought again, with Sun taking shots at Vitalik. The story starts when Litecoin founder Tweeted the following:
“Some self-proclaimed Bitcoin Maximalists are actually Bitcoin Extremists. They think all other coins are scams and will go to zero. Maximalists think Bitcoin is and will remain the dominant cryptocurrency but there is room for altcoins to exist and even do well. What are you?”
A Twitter user was quick to notice the hypocrisy in the statement and said:
“I thought Charlie had more self-respect than that. You've basically just followed vitaliks path. first comes the personal attack to common sense, then follows the pseudo-science shitcoin buzzwords. Way to go @SatoshiLite a new meme is born.”
Vitalik added to this narrative and replied to the Tweet tagging Lee

Vitalik has been thinking of moving to Proof of Stake recently, giving many interviews on why that is a superior algorithm and the natural progression for Ethereum. Although just when the Ethereum founder thought he was being cheeky, Justin un reminded him that Tron was already way ahead of Ethereum in doing so.

It is good to see a healthy competition in the crypto ecosystem with the top industry influencers taking lighthearted jabs at each other.
