TRON CEO Justin Sun just cancelled his lunch with Warren Buffett. All due to sudden health complications. Sun unfortunately has been having problems with kidney stones, which caused him to have to cancel his lunch with Buffett. The event excited a large group of cryptocurrency fans. Why. Justin Sun: wants to convince the unconvinced Let's start from the beginning. In June, Justin Sun won a charity auction (amounting to $4.57 million), where you could "buy" a joint lunch with Buffett. Buffett is known to be a Bitcoin skeptic. Anyway, that's a euphemism. He has referred to the cryptocurrency as "rat poison" and "delusional." Sun has set himself an ambitious goal. To convince a legendary investor about BTC during the aforementioned meal. He wanted to invite a group of well-known cryptocurrency supporters to it. Together, they were to show BTC to Buffett from a completely different side. "I don't think we can convince him that all cryptocurrencies are good, but I hope he leaves [the lunch] knowing more about the industry and its potential," -said Sun in an interview with Forbes. After Donald Trump's famous tweets regarding BTC, Sun wanted to invite the US president himself to the meeting as well. "I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that are not money and whose value is very unstable, they are virtually empty. Unregulated crypto assets can facilitate illegal behavior, including drug trafficking and other illegal activities." -Trump wrote online. "Mr. President, you are being misled by fake news. #Bitcoin and #Blockchain is a great opportunity for the US! I would like to invite you to lunch with the [market] leaders of cryptocurrencies along with @WarrenBuffett on July 25. I guarantee you, after that lunch no one will know more about cryptocurrencies than you!" -Sun wrote him back. Guest list In an interview with CNBC, Justin Sun announced that he would be inviting some of the most famous names in the cryptocurrency world - including Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, Litecoin creator Charlie Lee, and Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao. Changpeng Zhao thanked Sun for the meeting, but said he couldn't come because lunch in San Francisco was "too far away." Vitalik Buterin did not respond at all.... Soon it may be that the lunch will not happen at all. Well, Buffett will thus remain an unconvinced BTC antifan....
