BTTC, HTX, TRON, the last is the mother of the other two

Not so long ago, in some dingy café that smelled of tobacco and cheap literature, someone first told me about cryptocurrencies. An engineer, one of those who look down on those of us who still write with a pen. 'Bitcoin is the future, maestro,' he told me. And that was that. But time passed, and with it came a peculiar name: BTTC, a cryptocurrency that now, among neon lights and sleepless nights, promises to be something more than a digital mirage.

$BTTC or BitTorrent Chain, as its creators named it, is not just an exotic name in an ocean full of technological promises. It was born as an attempt to improve something we already know: decentralized data exchange. Its origin is linked to BitTorrent, that old acquaintance of internet users who, back in the nineties, taught us that information could travel at breakneck speeds between distant points on the planet. BitTorrent, in its time, was like those privateers navigating the Mediterranean, moving between digital islands, sharing what they could while the world tried to understand what the hell they were doing.
