Justin Sun just did effortless marketing for the entire Tron ($TRX) ecosystem by his acquisition of Comedian by Maurizio Cattela, the viral banana art for $6.2M, this in my opinion would definitely ignite a spark that’d cause the new rally on Tron.
The banana artwork, formally titled Comedian by Maurizio Cattelan, gained global attention when it was duct-taped to a wall at Art Basel Miami in 2019 and sold for $120,000. The piece is a conceptual artwork, meaning buyers did not purchase the banana itself but a certificate of authenticity and instructions on how to replace the banana once it rots. The work was seen as a commentary on value and absurdity in the art world.
It’s notoriety grew when performance artist David Datuna ate the banana in an impromptu act he called Hungry Artist, adding to it’s mystique. Cattelan is known for provocative pieces, such as a gold toilet, and this piece aligns with his tradition of challenging art’s conventions.
In the words of Justin; I believe this goes way beyond art; and could be a bridge that connects the worlds of art, memes, and cryptocurrency.
The bigger picture; with the ultralight beam spotlight on Tron, this would be absolutely bullish for the ecosystem and $20 p/TRX is barely noice, we could see higher highs.
Memes on sunpump would fly also.
I think this is way of Justin sun marketing strategy, it’s a way to pave way for NFTs on Tron, I think he once bought a rock back then with some millions of dollars too
For me I don’t fancy it , instead invest those money on OG projects on Tron I believe it will really help them go a long way
what marketing? like @Nweke-nature1.com said he bought a rock for me i did not see any impact. we have justmoney, CCC, CFT and another good projects wh can make good use of this amount. By the way I am not the one to decide what someone uses his money for
Whaaaaat do you mean a banana for 6million and I am agreeing with @Prince-Onscolo and @Nweke-nature1.com that projects on Tron should have the support with that kind of money but I understand that Hackathon is there and I also understand that gamble is good in this bull market as we can see with the meme coin on Solana but let us all just watch and see how this particular one will work, thank you
Oh yeah, I was well aware of the rock purchase, it was peak NFT frenzy if I could still clearly recall, then they were derivatives of said rock throughout the ecosystem at some point, I think it caused a debacle then how Tron/Tron projects was running at a slow pace but Justin bought an NFT on ethereum rather than throwing an olive branch to Tron so I totally get what you mean.
In my opinion, I think we need to see the birth of more AI projects on Tron that’d give birth to more AI tokens like $FET for instance, the native token of fet . ai
Factual, that’s actually the purpose of the Hackathon. In what ways are you proposing to be the medium of sponsorship of Hackathon projects? Via grants?
That’d be alot of money for the active members and trust me, when it comes to decisive selection based on merit, the admins would still get it wrong lol.
