Welcome back and yes something smelt a bit fishy about this whole Tron thing. Looks like someone just wanted a quick price hike or was bored in their flat so had to make something up, anything!
Just going to wait for prices to come back down again which they will/are and then pay day comes again and then we load up to "horca" (half orca 25k SP).
Communities and SMTs are going to be the reskin the steemit front end needs, it'll be interesting to see how it plays out
