Justin Sun, CEO of Tron, has invited Donald Trump to a luncheon that will also be attended by Warren Buffett and various experts from the cryptocurrency world. Why the invitation? Trump made posts on Twitter regarding his stance towards Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies and LibraCoin. It turns out that the U.S. president may be a fan of social media, but he's no longer fond of technological innovations from the blockchain market: "I'm not a fan of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies that are not money and whose value is very volatile, they are virtually empty. Unregulated crypto assets can facilitate illegal behavior, including drug trafficking and other illegal activities." He also attacked LibraCoin and Facebook, which he believes wants to act as a bank without the special and necessary permissions to do so, and summed it all up by emphasizing the strength of the dollar: "We only have one real currency in the US and it is stronger than ever and reliable. It is by far the most dominant currency anywhere in the world and will always remain so. It is called the U.S. dollar!" Sun invites the president Sun was quick to respond to the posts by inviting Trump to a famous lunch: "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 this lunch no one will know more about cryptocurrencies than you!" Recall, by the way, that CEO Tron auctioned off lunch with Buffett during a charity auction. As he himself admitted, he is a fan of the famous investor and wants to explain to him during the meeting the idea of digital currencies and blockchain. So far Buffett has spoken about cryptocurrencies in not very warm words. He described Bitcoin as "rat poison squared". Trump and Bitcoin The above tweets were the first public statements of a US president regarding BTC. Interestingly, Andrew Yang, who is running for the Democratic nomination (he has rather little chance), is also in the race for the White House today. He, in turn, calls for supporting the cryptocurrency market. Tags Blockchain Donald Trump bitcoin Donald Trump libracoin Justin Sun Justin Sun Tron Tron Warren Buffet Warren Buffett bitcoin
