If you introduce it seriously, Justin Sun is a controversial Chinese entrepreneur and cryptocurrency entrepreneur. What Sun is best at is bugs. He feels that the world is a grass-roots team, and many rules are the same as playing house, but you must first pretend to respect it. You don't have to agree with him, but you have to admit that his mind is indeed different from ordinary people's.

 

01Education experience


  • When Sun Ge was a sophomore in high school, he scored less than 30 points in physics and struggled to pass in mathematics. Based on his grades at the time, he could only take three courses. He said he would participate in the independent enrollment of Peking University, which caused ridicule.

  •  During a Chinese language test, he criticized the college entrance examination system. At the end, he punctured the test paper with a pen and wrote four big words, "I want freedom." This 0-point test paper was later posted on the school bulletin board and was used as a negative teaching material.

  •  He discovered that the first prize of the new concept could be reduced by 30 points for admission to Peking University, so he used the shotgun method to submit multiple drafts to increase the probability of winning.  The writing style is like Wang Xiaobo's, with a kind of black humor, similar to this sentence: Exam-oriented education is a prison, but to escape from prison, you need the prison guard's key. The principal said that we are phoenixes, but phoenixes should not be kept in iron cages pecking each other's feathers. When the teacher crossed out my answer with a red pen, I heard the sound of the bones of knowledge breaking.  

  • By studying the winning works of previous new concepts, he summed up the award-winning password: scar literature + critical rules + uncommon allusions. Sun Gao created a character of repeated defeats and repeated defeats. He sent the same manuscript from different cities to Shanghai three days before the deadline, and it sold badly with a handwritten letter attached.

  • After winning the New Concept Award, he began to stab his ass, burned all his novels, and put the ashes in a bottle and put them on the table as a warning. Get up early to memorize English, do math problems in class, and read comprehensive essays with a flashlight after lights out. I pestered the history teacher to ask questions every day, and marked the must-test points in my notes with a red pen.

  • What Sun Ge is best at is predicting the teacher's predictions when setting questions. English specializes in composition templates, studies the rules of multiple-choice questions, abandons the final questions in mathematics, and sticks to basic questions. Keyword expansion is used in essay synthesis, and 300 words are drawn from one term. With the two BUFFs of College Entrance Examination Immigration and Independent Enrollment, he got a score of 650 in the College Entrance Examination. The teacher who had previously laughed at him as a partial scholar was confused. The shortcut to counterattack was to learn to exploit loopholes in the rules.

  • After arriving at Peking University, I continued to look for bugs.   I found that the professors from the history department were more subjective in their scoring, and they packaged Ma Zhe as a historical point of view. A score of 90 or above is stable. He wrote a handwritten letter of ten thousand words to the head of the history department, quoting Hu Shi's diary, explaining it rationally and moving him emotionally, and successfully transferred to another department. In order to sprint towards the Ivy League and need to improve his grades, he developed a set of GPA alchemy.

  •  Before handing in the thesis, I went to the professor to revise a few drafts, organized a club, invited big names to support me, and gave the professor Qinghai yak jerky, a local specialty from my hometown, at the end of the semester. I chose unpopular elective courses that were easy to get high marks. In the end, I got the first grade point in the department, and the Ivy League school extended an olive branch. For Sun Ge, academics are not about getting into an ivory tower, but about being human and worldly.

  • His grades are accumulated through social currency. The student is the one who can take the exam, and the master is the one who can use the rules.  While on exchange in Hong Kong, Sun Gee took the course "Democracy and Society" and had an enlightenment. After returning to Beijing, he went all out. He imitated Hu Shi's publication of the same name and founded "New New Youth". He pointedly pointed at the school's consultation system and accurately ignited public opinion. He appeared on the cover of "Asia Weekly" and dozens of media followed up with reports. The school finally apologized, saying that the consultation system was a mistake.  

  •  Sun Gao tasted the traffic dividend. The harder he scolded, the more traffic he got. While others stay in the ivory tower in the library, he studies communication all day long, because the mobile Internet era is here, and those who get the traffic will win the world. He summed up a set of experiences. If you want to get traffic, you have to find resonance, seek endorsement from authorities, and create a persona.

  •  In 2011, he went to study at the University of Pennsylvania and audited at the Wharton School of Business. He summed up a set of formulas for class transition: Personality + new track bonus + bumper marketing = D silk counterattack. So, he worked hard in these three directions. Erasing the label of fighter, forging an elite resume, packaging the internship experience as the chief representative of Greater China, creating a self-media column "Three People in the United States", making the first entrepreneurial attempt, and earning the first pot of gold.

02Entrepreneurship experience
1. Early Entrepreneurship and Knowledge Payment (2014-2017)

◦ Created the audio social application "Peiwo APP". During this period, he was active on social media, built his personal IP, and accumulated initial popularity.

◦ Becoming the first batch of students at Hupan University has strengthened the image of being associated with business leaders such as Jack Ma.

2. All in Blockchain and TRON ICO (2017-2018)

◦ In 2017, he seized the popularity of cryptocurrency and founded the TRON project.

◦ Approximately RMB 400 million was raised through ICO (Initial Coin Offering).

◦ In the early stages of the project, it was questioned that the white paper was plagiarized, and its technical strength was widely doubted. But with strong marketing capabilities, TRON and its token TRX have gained huge attention.

3. The controversial exit of the “King of Marketing” (2019 to present)

◦ In 2019, Buffett's lunch was auctioned for a record-breaking $4.56 million, shocking both China and the world. Later, it was postponed due to "kidney stones", which staged a highly controversial media farce and gained unprecedented global exposure.

◦ Since then, he has taken the porcelain marketing strategy to the extreme: frequently focusing on hot topics (such as Musk’s acquisition of Twitter, the World Cup, and various currency crises), making high-profile “bailout” announcements on social media, and promising various grand but often questionable cooperations. Its core purpose has always been to attract traffic and attention to Tron and its ecological projects.

4. Current situation and expansion

◦ The Tron public chain has become one of the important cryptocurrency trading networks in the world, known for its low fees and high speed, but it is also often associated with negative activities such as gambling and money laundering.

◦ Justin Sun himself obtained the status of a Grenadian diplomat and acquired the exchange Poloniex to continue to expand his business territory.

03Why is it called Sun Cut?--
“"Cutting leeks" is an Internet meme in the Chinese cryptocurrency circle. It refers to the behavior of bookmakers or project developers to raise asset prices through speculation and then sell them, resulting in losses for retail investors. Sun Yuchen was nicknamed "Sun Cut". The main reasons include:

1. Tron ICO controversy:

Tron’s ICO raised approximately 400 million yuan, but it was accused of slow progress in project implementation. The price of the token TRX has been depressed for a long time, and early investors suffered serious losses.

2. Frequent operations and suspicion of selling:

The community has repeatedly questioned Justin Sun and related addresses for reducing their holdings and cashing out after raising TRX or other related tokens (such as BTT and JUST).

3. "Buy the hot spot - sell off" cycle:

For example, announcing the acquisition of a certain project or cooperation and other good news pushed up the currency price, and then the market suspected that its team or related parties would reduce their holdings.

04“Card bug" and how to earn traffic

Justin Sun is good at exploiting rule loopholes (commonly known as "bugs") and traffic marketing, specifically as follows:

1. Rule vulnerability exploitation cases

• Arbitrage and airdrops:

During the DeFi (decentralized finance) craze in 2020, TRON ecological projects (such as JUST and SUN) were questioned to give teams or early participants an unfair advantage by designing token economic models. For example, price manipulation through high premines or low liquidity pools.

• Exchange operations:

The community suspects that it uses exchange volume wash or "left-hand over right-hand" trading to create the illusion of activity and attract retail investors to follow up.

• Compliance avoidance:

After the Tron ICO, Chinese regulation stopped the ICO, and Justin Sun shifted his business overseas, but he still influenced domestic users through social media.

2. Traffic earning strategy

• Extreme Marketing:

Controversial events (such as the postponement of Buffett's lunch) continued to dominate the media headlines, and were even criticized by some media as "porcelain marketing."

• Social media persona:

He claims to be the “savior of cryptocurrencies” on Twitter, Weibo and other platforms, and frequently announces “buying dips” and “rescues” (such as claiming to support victims of the LUNA crash), but his actual actions are often questioned for show.

• Bind celebrities and hot spots:

For example, it claimed to provide funds for Musk's acquisition of Twitter, or proposed an "encrypted payment solution" to take advantage of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, although most of the proposals have not been confirmed to have been implemented.

05Public evaluation and controversy

• Supporter's point of view:

He is considered a successful marketer and entrepreneur who has promoted the TRON ecosystem (such as the growth of TVL on the TRON chain) and the popularity of cryptocurrency, and even praised it as "black and red are also red".

• Critics point of view:

◦ Suspicion of fraud: repeatedly accused of false propaganda, over-promise, and mismatch between TRON’s technical strength and marketing；

◦ Harvest retail investors: Make ordinary investors become "takers" through market operations”；

◦ Regulatory risks: Tron and its related projects (such as Tron Bank) have been investigated by the US SEC and accused of illegal securities issuance.

06Summary
-

Justin Sun's growth trajectory shows his strong marketing capabilities and understanding (and even utilization) of the rules of the cryptocurrency industry, but he has also been labeled "Sun Cut" due to frequent controversial operations. His success is largely based on traffic monetization and controversial marketing, while technical contributions and the long-term value of the project remain in question. For investors, its behavior is a warning of the high risks and information asymmetry of the cryptocurrency market. ； For the industry, he has become the epitome of a discussion on the boundary between "speculation and innovation".

Men as crazy as Trump are promoters of innovation and also have extremely powerful destructive power. As a centralized and unified country, we should be wary of the financial risks behind marketing hype, especially in the field of cryptocurrency where there is still a lack of effective supervision.
