Tron's moat amongst people not in crypto or in america must be studied the craziest shit I've ever seen no matter who I pay -- a flower shop, a moving guy, a zyn dude, a concierge, (future) mother in law -- they ALWAYS send their Tron address no exceptions

@mert USDT on Tron is basically the global underground cash network at this point.

@mert The widespread use of Tron for global peer-to-peer payments highlights how accessibility and low fees drive real-world utility. It is a fascinating example of a network finding a dominant niche in emerging markets 🌐

Markai @MarkAIbuilder · D

@mert do they default to tron because of low fees or because its what their payment apps push?

@mert Tron's moat was never technical. It was built on USDT liquidity and near, zero fees in Southeast Asia and Latin America before L2s or Solana could compete on UX. Now switching costs are social, not technical. Nobody wants to be the first merchant to ask for a different chain.

@mert Tron’s dominance in global P2P payments highlights a core truth: everyday commerce prioritizes predictable settlement costs and off-ramp ubiquity over protocol composability. TRC-20 USDT won real-world adoption by optimizing purely for transfer unit economics.

@mert is it always a tron address or do they just default to whatever wallet they already have?

Antonio Gomes @onchainantonio · D

What you're describing is Tron winning on pure retail utility. USDT on Tron captured around 65% of retail-sized transfers last year because it's the cheapest, fastest way to move a dollar when your local currency is falling apart. The funny part is Tron barely captures the economics of its own success, Tether pockets the float income on the roughly 80 billion sitting there while Tron just built the cheapest pipe to it. Your flower shop guy picked the rail without knowing any of that

@mert That kind of merchant-level adoption is probably more meaningful than another round of CT hype.

Antonio Gomes @onchainantonio · D

Sending USDT on Tron costs almost nothing, while Ethereum gas can eat your whole transaction on small amounts. People doing daily transfers aren't making a philosophical choice, they're making a math one. Crypto twitter keeps confusing cost optimization with ideological preference.

I guess almost every Internet user has used BitTorrent at some point. It’s owned by TRON. Besides, they own Poloniex (this little exchange is running since a decade without issues) and HTX crypto exchange too And, Justin Sun is having a legal battle against TRUMP’s WLFI recently Hence..

@MaximumPatriot @mert Freezing capital to enable free transfers is still a cost, just paid upfront instead of per tx. Still cheaper though
