TRON founder Justin Sun said he will continue investing in cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence despite recent public criticism of him and his team. He said he would not address every allegation individually, but expressed strong confidence in the work underway and linked that confidence to advances in mathematics, cryptography and artificial intelligence that he described as irreversible. Sun said the industry has repeatedly been declared finished over the past decade, while its underlying technology continued advancing through changes in policy and public opinion. He added that his team is working to make related services reliable and complete enough for future users, estimating that roughly 8 billion people will eventually use services built on those technologies directly or indirectly. His remarks came amid regulatory scrutiny and market volatility in the crypto sector.
