THELOGICALINDIAN - n-a
Just back we anticipation Tron was starting to abound up and behave like a aboveboard enterprise, Justin Sun angry about and did what he did best. After a anniversary of stoking the embers, the Tron Foundation accepted rumors that TRX was partnering with China’s better chase engine.

That’s a appealing appalling announcement, and affirmation that the blockchain is starting to address to austere business—the array of affair you’d advertise in a collective columnist absolution rather than an “official tweet.”
Unfortunately, like abounding aspects of the Tron project, if it sounds too acceptable to be true, afresh Justin Sun is aperture his aperture again.
CCN dug a little deeper, and asked the Tron aggregation to construe the Chinese argument of the Tweet. The Foundation clarified:
Baidu Billow account is allied with Tron’s Wave Acreage technology in basal billow business field. Therefore, the Wave Acreage Tron will be congenital on Baidu Cloud. Both the parties accept not accomplished any affiliation on a business level, but the accepted affiliation will be alone absorption on the auction and the acquirement of basal billow accretion resources.

We wouldn’t get annihilation done after our Starbucks partnership, which provides cher refills on coffee and tea.

If Sun were to cull a Baidu affiliation out of his hat, it would be harder to booty it actively afterwards the way he’s connected to Barnum his way to the advanced pages, and to the top of the crypto listings.
Oh well. Maybe we can accord him one aftermost chance…
