TRON founder Justin Sun said he will continue investing in cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence despite recent public criticism directed at him and his team. In a post on X, Sun said he would not respond to each specific allegation individually but stressed that he has "absolute confidence" in the crypto- and AI-related work he is pursuing. Sun said that confidence is rooted in technological breakthroughs in mathematics, cryptography and artificial intelligence that he described as irreversible. He added that the industry has repeatedly been declared finished over the past decade, but technology continued to advance after shifts in policy and public opinion. Sun said his team’s mission is to make related services reliable and complete enough for users to choose in the future, adding that roughly 8 billion people worldwide will eventually use services built on those technologies directly or indirectly.
