The Justin Sun and Warren Buffet Lunch has generated a good amount of attention from the media (both mainstream and crypto-focused) not just because of the huge amount the young guy paid to have the opportunity to meet the old man but also because both sides have different stance on cryptocurrency.

As someone said in Twitter (@MustacheTommy) (https://twitter.com/MustacheTommy/status/1136326022155030529): "Whether you love or hate this lunch between Justin and Warren Buffett, this one single move by Justin had brought huge mainstream media coverage for our crypto industry. Rather hate, let's congratulate. Rather divide, let's unite. Rather be negative, let's try to be positive."

What do you think?

I wonder what decision they'll make. As I understand it, lunch is not just a discussion of cryptocurrencies, but also to offer to become an investor of their startups: tron and BitTorrent

This is really interesting to behold. This is one of probably the most watched lunch the world has ever seen. And truly this lunch as brought the crypto world to the mainstream. Seeing its a lunch I am pretty sure that blockchain and cryptocurrencies will be the topic of the day. This single move Justin sun might be the big break the crypto world needs.

I believe this is a kind of exposure for cryptocurrency all over the world. A lot of people know warren and I see it as a good one for Justin to have lunch with him. The truth is it can never be only lunch but some other investment discussions about crypto most especially Tronix.

I was the one that was not totally happy with justin sun's behavior most of the times but this time around i think his act is great for the growth and publicity of crypto market, this news has also gone viral which will also help crypto markets for long term secondly during the luch he will also try to clear the investors mind about crypto and its uses. So hopefully massive investors and institutions will be attracyed towards crypto as a result of this event.

Unless Carlos Matos from Bronx and Craig Wright the Fake professor are part of those the 7 guys escorting him the lunch with Warren, all Sun plans will fail.

I guess the one who tweeted was damn right! Because looking at the statistics on the views you provided, a whole lotta people especially from the mainstream media are gonna learn about crypto and blockchain and their purported benefits as well. It's good news for us in every way. But ai have one question, who did Justin pay that money to???

Tron is doing good why get the attention of Warren Buffet may be better if the money goes to charity, Warren is a known critic of cryptocurrency and I doubt if this old dog can learn new tricks and besides he is already a millionaire this is very lavish.

I think lunch is useless, Justin Sun is only looking for attention so that the coins get investor attention. Even with lunch it will not change Warren Buffet's thoughts to continue to oppose crypto.


Because this is a very very useless meeting. In my opinion, $ 4.5 million is enough to pump the coins yourself rather than looking for attention that will have no results.

Dude suggested on Twitter to be positive. May we follow his suggestion.

Although I generally agree with you, I will try to see the positive side here. This is a crypto cry, and possibly some kind of reputation.

so what happened on that lunch ?
did Sun say something unique to make buffet think about crypto changed ?
we know already buffet have a negative think for btc or crypto as a rat poison.
i just think Sun try to make some trend,dont blame me btw,its just my own speculation.
nothing will change on that launch.

$4.5M for a LUNCH? LOL I wonder what they are going to eat that it would cost that much.

All for the publicity, well its true that cryptocurrency in general will be on the spot light with all Sun's effort. Buffet has been very critical to BTC but with facebook developing their coin in blockchain, it should come to him with enlightenment that blockchain is here to stay.

I think justin sun has won the publicity game and by doing so he is serving the crypto market massively and i am sure this lunch is going to have very positive impact on the crypto market, i am sure many minds will change and many will turn to crypto after such marketing meetup.

Is it possible that Warren can be that bold to actually accept the $4.5M all for a lunch?

For a man who has everything and had eaten all the kinds of menu in the world, I don't think he'd be that worse to accept the $4.5M. He can just eat with Sun and maybe discuss mutual interest, he can just accept the TRON tokens from Sun. :) That will make him a crypto holder!

If you have a problem with that then just about where that money will go - Charity.

I doubt it. It could be the other way around. Justin asking Warren how to invest in other assets to make himself richer.

That guy has a point, everyone should unite that this guy will have a clear vision and opinion about bitcoin and crypto's. He really don't understand what bitcoin is because he's not into technology and mostly his investments dwelled into traditional assets.

Im thinking what is the topic discussed by these two. As you can see Buffet really hates or not really in favor of cryptocurrency but Justin Sun is the owner and ceo of tron network a huge project that perfectly have a decentralized aspect. Im thinking Justin Sun is trying to offer Buffet an investment that will venture in cryptocurrency or more or less collaborate on a new project or become a partner in tron network. Who knows, but assuming the msinstream media coverage I think this lunch is a favorably on crypto industry.

This justin sun guy is a marketing genius, kind of like a crypto steve jobs. It is him that makes tron a great investment rather than the platform itself. I wonder who else he invites

There is definitely a benefit to Justin Sun in terms of the publicity he has generated. On the other hand, some might argue that the $4.5 million spent could have been used to improve his cryptocurrency or invest in a project to boost it.

I tend to be among the skeptics of the idea that anything fruitful will come about from this, or rather that he'll get his money's worth. I don't think Buffett will change his mind over this lunch.

Steve Jobs actually had a product that met the needs of the public. Justin Sun has a blockchain project struggling to attract the mainstream. I don't think he deserves the "genius" label just yet.

Inviting for a lunch isn't a genius act though, everyone can invite someone like Trump but making it public would mean its just for marketing, Warren may not even attend to this invitation unless he gets something worth out of it. That $4.45 might not even worth enough for Warren for if he goes along that would mean he can be manipulated. I don't think his adviser would tell him to go and have lunch with Sun who in his eyes is just a newbie.

I think this is a very important step. Because if Justin manages to change Warren Buffet mind about cryptocurrency or maybe get support for TRX or BTT, this could be a key event for the entire market. Therefore, I will wait for news about the results of their meeting.

One thing should be admitted about the Tron CEO - this guy knows how to do marketing and get his project in the news.
After all, this is the only thing that keeps this pile of shit in the top 100.

I am very happy for Justin and I hope this meeting will benefit him and he will learn a lot that in the future will help bring his blockchain projects to new successes and heights. But I do not think that he will be able to change Warren's opinion about cryptocurrencies.

Hard to change Warren Buffet mind but I think Justin Sun can introduce more about cryptocurrency or his project in Tron and Bittorent. Warren Buffet always have negative thinking about cryptocurrency and hopely with this lunch Warren Buffet have different perspective about cryptocurrency

Warren Buffet is reputable investor in wall street and in the world, having chance to lunch with him is big opportunity to introduce more about cryptocurrency. Justin Sun lucky have a chance even paying with a lot cost but i think its good for publicity specially for cryptocurrency community.

I think that attracted attention to cryptocurrencies is the only positive side of all this. Warren Edward Buffett is no longer the person I remember him, now I’m not interested in following his activity.

Yeah, you got it right. Look at what he did with BNB, it is just amazing to see how the progress of that token. It may be for his own company to prosper but the whole crypto community will benefit from it, whether we like it or not.

I don't follow this guy on Twitter but I was able to see the news through an ad on Twitter where he talked about paying $4.5 million for the launch. He has been working really hard these days and he's been on the news a lot of times more than I count, and I can remember that that made the price of TRON to go up by 13% in a day (some people said it's 20% when I checked it was around 13%). This is another news that can draw more attention to the crypto industry, most especially TRON and there is likely to be an increase in the price. This is very good.

Who cares what an old man like Warren Buffet thinks about the entire market, he is a hypocrite who owned Berkshire Hathaway invested in ponzi scam defrauding many investors for millions of dollars, he usually preaches one thing but does things behind closed doors, so he cannot be trusted in any way shape or form and Justin Sun is a big fool to spent millions just to dine with him which is another joke.

To know more about his life long schemes and frauds, just read the article below, he is a manipulator and cannot be trusted.
Do as Warren Buffett does, not as he says (https://medium.com/black-edge-consulting/warren-buffet-is-a-brilliant-investor-but-also-a-hypocrite-f2291c089245)

If justin sun will be able to convince warren and othe billionaires in this lunch then it will ne a huge success for the crypto market as a whole, i hope justin will invite and take with him renowned pro crypto persons with him too.

First celebrity CEO's like Elon Musk and now celebrity crypto-bro's like Justin Sun... what's the industry coming to? But in all seriousness this could be a good thing for cryptocurrencies simply due to all the media attention it will bring to the scene and its future potential

So what's the outcome of this multi-million lunch to both of them, the old idiot still don't believe in Cryptocurrency and no way he will be swayed to believe for just 4 million worth of lunch and the young idiot will probably create another publicity stunt just to create attention to his beloved coin.

Justin Sun, founder of the Tron blockchain, has paid $4.75 million for the privilege of having lunch with legendary investor Warren Buffett.

News outlets around the world picked up this news, trumpeting it as yet another example of how ridiculous the crypto sector can be.

The gesture is attention-grabbing, true, and not just because $4.75 million is a lot to pay for a meal and a couple of hours of someone’s time. It’s also worthy of a jaw drop given Buffett’s public opinion of bitcoin: “probably rat poison squared” is one of his more colourful descriptions.

However, the real event here is being overlooked. Thanks to Sun’s largesse, two extremes of the current investment landscape will sit at the same table and talk to each other. This is more significant than most of us realise.

No I don't think so, you cannot bribe the old man with a $4 million lunch, remember this guy is a multi millionaire, there's no way you can bribe him that way, the old man will lose his face if he eats his words and become a convert because of the $4 million lunch no way that won't do.

Pay less than 5 millions and all of medias will pay a lot of attention to you. It's much better rather than wasting 20 millions like what already done by him in the past with its tesla campaign.
I wanna say those medias will cover all of any statement that created by justin and warren.
