Asian dude can dine with Buffett for $4.6 million

[theking]

Alot of money to most folks but not for this guy  :

This year’s charity steak lunch with the legendary investor Warren Buffett will probably be all about blockchain and crypto.

Justin Sun, the 28-year-old founder of blockchain platform TRON and CEO of peer-to-peer file sharing protocol BitTorrent, won the annual eBay charity auction to have lunch with Warren Buffett at steakhouse Smith & Wollensky in New York City. Sun, who calls himself a disciple of Alibaba’s founder Jack Ma, paid $4.6 million for the opportunity to dine with Buffett. Sun can also bring up to seven friends.

“I’m a long-term believer (and certainly a big fan) of Buffett and his long-term value investing strategy. As some of you might know, the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway has said publicly he sees no ‘unique value’ in Bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency . Yet, he has pointed to the potential in blockchain, the underlying technology behind all cryptocurrency,” Sun wrote in a post on Monday. “I look at the upcoming lunch with Buffett as an opportunity to seek mutual understanding and growth.”

Sun made the first pot of gold by investing in Tesla and bitcoin when he was studying at the University of Pennsylvania in 2013, according to Chinese media reports. A marketing guru, he has been teasing followers on Twitter since last week, saying he will announce “something huge and amazing”, which pumped the price of TRON as much as 20% on Sunday. Following the press release, Sun plans to invite several “industry leaders” in the cryptocurrency and blockchain community to join the lunch with Buffett.
