Will Donald Trump accept US$4.6 million Warren Buffett lunch invite from Chinese cryptocurrency billionaire Justin Sun?
- Tron founder invites Ethereum, Litecoin, Binance, Circle, Huobi and eToro executives to his lunch with Berkshire Hathaway’s CEO after postponing July meeting
The crypto whizz kid who paid US$4.6 million to have lunch with Warren Buffett asked Donald Trump and a slew of crypto bosses to join them.
Sun is working to reschedule the meal after postponing it in July, a move that sparked suggestions he was in trouble with the Chinese government. However, finding a date that suits everyone has proven challenging.
“It took about two months for us to get all nine people to come to San Francisco and sit in one room for five hours with Warren Buffett,” Cliff Edwards, Tron’s communications director, told Blocktv. “We are in the process of corralling all of those nine people again to get it back on track.”
Here’s everyone Sun has invited to his lunch with Buffett.
Donald Trump, US president
Justin Sun asked Donald Trump to attend his lunch with Warren Buffett after the American president criticised cryptocurrencies on Twitter.
“I am not a fan of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which are not money, and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air,” Trump tweeted on July 12. “Unregulated crypto assets can facilitate unlawful behaviour, including drug trade and other illegal activity.”
Sun invited the president to the Buffett lunch less than three hours later.
"Mr. President, you are misled by fake news," he tweeted. "#Bitcoin & #Blockchain happens to be the best chance for US!"
