In-depth interview with Justin Sun: From space dreams to the future of TRON, exploring the intersection of cryptocurrency and AI

Recently, IBC Group Official founder Mario Nawfal conducted an in-depth interview with TRON founder Justin Sun. In this half-hour conversation, Justin Sun not only shared his dream for space exploration, but also elaborated on the future development direction of TRON, the opportunities and challenges of the cryptocurrency market, and his views on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and regional development. Forward-looking thinking on the integration of blockchain technology.

He believes that TRON will become the core infrastructure for financial transactions in the future, and AI agents will play an increasingly important role in the cryptocurrency market. Despite facing many challenges, Justin Sun is confident in the future of the industry and looks forward to witnessing more innovations and breakthroughs in the future super cycle.

The dream of space has not stopped yet

Justin Sun revealed in the interview that he has been passionate about space exploration since he was a child. He recalled that before the rise of Elon Musk's SpaceX and Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin, the only way to the International Space Station (ISS) was through Russia . Sun was involved in a project with NASA that, despite training in the United States, ultimately required launch in Russia. This cooperative project was one of the most important cooperation between NASA and the Russian Space Agency before the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

However, with the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, this cooperative project was forced to close. Justin Sun said that although this plan has been temporarily shelved, his enthusiasm for space exploration has not diminished. Not only does he dream of spacewalks, but he also hopes to land on the moon in the future. He revealed that his space plan is divided into several stages: first entering space, then conducting a space walk on the International Space Station, and finally achieving the goal of landing on the moon.

Justin Sun also mentioned that with the rise of SpaceX and Blue Origin, the commercialization of space travel is accelerating. He believes that in the future, more ordinary people will have the opportunity to enter space, not just professional astronauts. He himself hopes to become one of the participants in this new era.

The future of TRON is to become a decentralized global financial

settlement layer

When talking about the future of TRON, Justin Sun described his vision as a “decentralized Swift.” He explained that TRON’s goal is to become the core settlement layer for global financial transactions and provide efficient and low-cost financial services to various institutions and individuals. Whether users are in the United States, Mexico, Argentina, China or Abu Dhabi, they can settle financial transactions through TRON.

Justin Sun emphasized that TRON is a completely decentralized network that can be accessed by anyone anytime and anywhere without permission. This openness enables TRON to provide equal financial service opportunities to users around the world. He also mentioned that TRON has become one of the world's largest stablecoin settlement chains and will continue to expand its application scenarios in the future, including NFT (non-fungible tokens), DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) and other fields.

"TRON now has an annual revenue of about 2 billion to 2.5 billion US dollars, and is growing at 30% every month. This is because TRON's products are easy to use and users are willing to continue to use it." He said.

Justin Sun specifically mentioned that the future of TRON is not just a cryptocurrency trading platform, but a comprehensive financial ecosystem covering asset issuance, trading and management. He believes that with the continuous development of blockchain technology, TRON will play an increasingly important role in the global financial system.

In addition, Justin Sun also talked about TRON’s competition. “Each blockchain now has its own unique strategies and advantages. Ethereum has become a traditional blockchain. Although its growth potential is limited, I am still optimistic about it because it is the second blockchain after Bitcoin. ETF-approved tokens. If you are looking for growth potential, I think Solana and Tron are more promising. Taking TRON as an example, the current daily settlement volume of stable coins reaches 25 billion to 300. billion, accounting for 75% of the total. In the future, we plan to cooperate with more American financial institutions and banks to migrate their stablecoin settlements to TRON,” he said.

The intersection of cryptocurrency and AI – AI agents and decentralized

finance

When talking about future opportunities in the cryptocurrency market, Justin Sun believes that AI is an area that has not yet been fully explored. He mentioned that AI Agents will become an important trend in the future. An AI agent is an intelligent program that can perform tasks autonomously and can perform operations such as fund transfers, token issuance, and transactions according to user instructions.

Justin Sun, for example, said that in the future there may be an AI agent to which users can give $10 and ask it to convince another AI agent to transfer funds to a designated address. This AI agent can not only manage funds, but also automatically make trading decisions based on market conditions. He predicted that in the future, AI agents will not only manage funds, but may also participate in investment decisions and even create and manage decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs).

However, Justin Sun also pointed out that the rise of AI agents will bring new challenges, especially in terms of security and liquidity. He warned that AI agents could be targeted by hackers, so security must be a priority when developing and applying these technologies. He also mentioned that AI agent technology is still in the experimental stage and users are not recommended to invest large amounts of money in it, but they can try to explore with a small amount of money.

"This cycle is likely to repeat what happened to "The DAO" on the Ethereum chain in 2015. A project on a certain chain may trigger a large-scale funding incident due to AI, leading to market shocks. For example, AI There may be some transactions that bring 400% returns, and people will put money into the AI ​​fund pool like crazy, and the fund size may reach 300-400 million US dollars. But if some logic of the AI ​​goes wrong, the whole system will collapse. This could be the end of the bull market.”

Justin Sun emphasized that "The DAO" is not driven by AI, but is made by different people. He believes that although the word AI was not used at that time, the direction was towards AI, which served as a warning to the industry.

Outlook for the Cryptocurrency Cycle

Justin Sun believes that 2025 will definitely be a super cycle in the encryption market. First of all, the encryption market has a four-year cycle, 2017, 2021, 2025. This is the correct narrative. Additionally, with Trump re-elected as president, many major banks will begin accepting cryptocurrencies. Therefore, he feels that 2025 will be a very important year, and there is still a lot of room for growth after Bitcoin breaks through $100,000.

Justin Sun mentioned that regulation is another important challenge facing the cryptocurrency industry. As the cryptocurrency market continues to develop, regulators are likely to increase their oversight of the industry. He believes that the industry needs to cooperate with regulatory agencies to develop a reasonable regulatory framework to promote the healthy development of the industry.

Despite the many challenges, Sun is confident about the future of the industry. He believes that as technology continues to advance, cryptocurrencies and AI agents will play an increasingly important role in the future. He looks forward to witnessing more innovations and breakthroughs in the future super cycle.

Justin Sun finally emphasized that the cryptocurrency industry is still in its early stages, and innovation and risks coexist. He advised investors to remain cautious when exploring new technologies, but at the same time keep an open mind and embrace the endless possibilities of the future.
