Justin Sun invites Warren Buffett to dinner, Buffett receives his first Bitcoin

After Tron founder Justin Sun won the record-breaking $4.56 million bid for a charity lunch with legendary investor Warren Buffett, originally scheduled for July 25th last year but postponed indefinitely due to Sun's kidney stones, the highly anticipated blockchain industry gathering finally took place recently in Nebraska, USA.

Tron Foundation announced on Thursday that, following Buffett's suggestion, they would have dinner together in Buffett's hometown of Omaha on January 23 at 6 pm CST.

The guests included Litecoin founder Charlie Lee, Huobi CFO Chris Lee, Binance Charity Foundation head Helen Hai, and eToro CEO Yoni Assia. Sun Yuchen tweeted:

Great dinner, glad to finally meet Buffett, thank you for your support and advice on how to elevate Tron to the next level, enjoyed our discussions on Bitcoin, Tesla, and Tron, looking forward to the dinner in 2030.

The Tron Foundation stated that Buffett mentioned blockchain:

Cryptocurrency and blockchain are still in their early stages, blockchain has its value. There are many impressive companies in the payment field and there is huge demand. Blockchain technology will have a disruptive impact on the payment field in the future.

It is well known that Buffett has always been a cryptocurrency pessimist, previously calling Bitcoin a "real bubble" and "rat poison squared."

Sun Yuchen pointed out on Twitter that Buffett believes blockchain has huge potential, with many companies in his investment portfolio exploring the field, such as J.P. Morgan. He is also curious about how blockchain will impact the payment field in the next 10 years.

Sun Yuchen took this opportunity to "preach" to Buffett again, emphasizing that Bitcoin is the currency of the next generation, to which Buffett laughed and said:

I believe my grandson would rather inherit my "dollar" legacy.

Despite Buffett's continued negative views on Bitcoin, Sun Yuchen still gave Buffett a Samsung Galaxy Fold with an integrated blockchain wallet and sent 1 Bitcoin to this legendary investor.
