An article explaining how TRON's Whitepaper is plagiarized: https://hackernoon.com/trons-whitepaper-is-copied-plagiarized-cefce74335ce
TRON is a decentralized open-source cryptocurrency that was founded by TRON Foundation. TRON is an application intended to allow content creators to be compensated for sharing their content.[2] TRON incorporates a blockchain based peer-to-peer technology which basically means that like other cryptocurrencies, it is capable of eliminating the middleman.
From another aspect, TRON’s technology is a distributed storage facility that allows its users to access entertainment content from every part around the world without seeking assistance from GooglePlay Store or Apple Store. As a result, the content producers are able to receive funds directly from the consumers quickly.
TRON Foundation is based in Singapore and follows the principles of Sir Tim Berners-Lee. Nice concept but this isn’t a system for enforcing copy right. People can still steal and copy content.
Their CEO Justin Sun gets a lot of media coverage

An interesting article about the TRON Dogs Game: https://steemit.com/cryptokitties/@theaussiegame/tron-dogs-are-here
From Justin via Twitter: "Our original version of the whitepaper is in Chinese and we have a very detailed reference to the latest Chinese version. The English, Korea, Japanese and Spanish versions are translated by the volunteers. The translation missed numerous important details not just reference."
It’s Chinese based so English investors won’t have access to the best information
Unclear compensation model
Massive circulating supply
Copied Whitepaper
TRON says that the coin has a circulation of 65 billion coins, too much for it to have any significant monetary value. By contrast, Ripple has a circulation of 38 billion and recently surged past the $3 dollar mark
Time Line

Overall the Tron whitepaper technically is below average. It describes the problem, vision, and schedule well but with buzzwords and code copied from other projects. Nonetheless, it has succeeded to convince investors and gain worldwide attention which IMO relates to Justin's connections and marketing ability
