  Justin Sun  finally shared a meal with legendary investor Warren Buffett. Sun’s guests were Charlie Lee, founder of the Litecoin Foundation; Chris Lee, chief financial officer of the Chinese exchange Huobi; Yoni Assia, chief executive of the trading platform eToro; and Helen Hai, head of Binance Charity
 Foundation.

  Among a slew of gifts, Sun presented Buffett with a Samsung phone loaded with one Bitcoin and a number of Tron TRX coins that corresponded with the 89-year-old’s birthday. Justin received priceless insights from Warren during $515.05 dinner. Let's see how TRX price will behave in upcoming hours ?

I think there is more to this dinner that we have seen in the photograph. This might be an investment in cryptocurrency in days to come. Would buffet be talked into buying heavily into crypto  Huh Time will reveal but I know price will surely react to this.

I'm sure it was just dinner. It's unlikely that Warren allowed Justin to talk about crypto.

I mean, yea it's just a dinner. So of course they're allowed to talk about almost anything. And it says that Justin Sun gave him some bitcoin, so I'm going to assume bitcoin was somewhat talked about regardless how long or how short. I swear though, Justin could've picked better people like Andreas Antonopoulos to talk to Buffet, but I guess Charlie Lee is fine as long as he actually focused on Bitcoin(and not Litecoin).

One thing's for sure, I really wish there's a video of it. Though I kinda doubt it.

They talk about crypto, please read what is posted in Justin twitter - Buffett even advised Justin what to do with his project. You should keep in mind that Buffett is almost 90 years old and that it doesn't really matter what he thinks about Bitcoin. Even if he changes his opinion, it will mean nothing in long term. Bitcoin is much more than one man's opinion, no matter who it is.

LOL.  That is indeed funny as hell.

I was wondering what the hell happened the first time Sun was supposed to have dinner with Buffett, but it's interesting that it finally happened.  I doubt that those gifts of bitcoin and Tron are going to spark any interest on Buffett's part, but it was a nice gesture.  Buffett isn't likely to include crypto in his investment portfolio at this point in his career--and he certainly doesn't need to.  I wonder if he even uses a smartphone at all.

One thing's for sure, I really wish there's a video of it. Though I kinda doubt it.
I'm pretty sure there's not, though I agree it would be fascinating to be a fly on the wall for whatever conversation they had.

I'd imagine that a lot of short-term thinkers are hoping for a positive comment from Warren Buffet(because ya know, famous investor and all that stuff) concerning bitcoin as to pump up the prices.

I'm pretty sure there's not, though I agree it would be fascinating to be a fly on the wall for whatever conversation they had.
Yeap. Would be weird for a dinner to have cameras. The best thing we could do right now unfortunately is to set up camp on these people's Twitter accounts(especially from Charlie Lee as I'd definitely trust him more than Justin Sun) and wait for a more in-depth story on what went on in their conversation.

EDIT: This is what we have currently:

I wouldn't take a word from Justin about what they actually discussed, especially when there's nobody to confirm the conversation. Nice to see an old high-powered man being open to this kinda discussion tho

At least Buffett doesn't seem like the idiot everyone keeps insisting he is. He had dinner/lunch with all these guys and he's 89 and can still have a sensible conversation. I don't love guys like him but I don't just hate on him for all his dislike of BTC. Thanks for sharing! Wish it was someone else rather than Justin Sun though!

IIRC, Justin paid him just to be with Warren for this dinner right? With that tweet of Justin, Warren is still firm with his action and words about bitcoin and I think no one can change that already unless his grandson will invest that inheritance to bitcoin.  Tongue
That will be a great twist with his words.

Warren Buffet is so insignificant to Bitcoin, he's not a cryptographer, he's not a computer scientist, he's a boomer with zero understanding of new technologies - can't even use a smartphone or email. So why do so many Bitcoiners care about his opinions? Because average Bitcoiners only view Bitcoin as an investment, but this is wrong because even if you only want to see profits, you still have to learn the technology so you can make educated decisions about its future. This is why Warren Buffet's "rat poison" opinion is worthless, despite his legendary reputation as a trader.

He has $.
That's what makes the world spin. Although sometimes it makes it spin in the wrong direction.

Yeah, because this is how it works in business.
Before investing in developing a residential area you do a publicity stunt and let all the land owners raise the prices of the land you're supposed to buy!!!

It was nothing like that, Justin Sun PAID HIM $4,567,888 for that dinner.

Either it is just a dinner or business talk, this is good and positive news for the crypto arena. I am sure the market might react to this in the next couple of days, presently, TRON is already pumped and I am expecting a big move in the leading crypto.

The announcement came almost 2 weeks after the lunch. It's a charity lunch, proceeds of those millions raked in from the auction go to good causes so you know what, I'm okay with all them guys.

I have a teeny soft spot for Charlie Lee...

But yeah, worth looking at what might have been exchanged between someone firmly in the old school... and someone firmly in the weird school that's also kinda NOT Bitcoin.

1 Bitcoin. Damn. Could get me a nice mini house back home.

I don't get how people still care even a bit about Justin Sun. He's done the worst crap for the Bitcoin community, including taking over Poloniex. Turned a great exchange into literal shit.

Why would this photo of him and WB affect the crypto markets? That would show how immature the markets still are. Meeting WB doesn't mean anything.. he paid $4.5M just for a lunch. I'm sure the information he has received is priceless, but that does not mean anything positive/negative for cryptocurrencies. Makes no sense & I can already imagine how full Twitter is of "Justin Sun met WB! TRX moon!" tweets..

I would've rather met with someone who's interested in developing something huge for our community. Could turn into potentially creating a revolutionary platform or idea instead of turning $4.5M into a dinner.

if I see from Justin's tweet that is only a small talk (not serious) about cryptocurrencies, this will not affect the price of Tron.

Warren Buffet is so insignificant to Bitcoin, he's not a cryptographer, he's not a computer scientist, he's a boomer with zero understanding of new technologies - can't even use a smartphone or email.
Are you sure about what you say "Warren Buffet zero understanding with new technology"!!  Warren is currently in the top 5 richest people in the world, he certainly has a special team that keeps him informed of developments in the world. so even though he didn't learn new technology, the smart people he paid would certainly tell him about developments and changes happening in the world.

  Justin Sun  finally shared a meal with legendary investor Warren Buffett. Sun’s guests were Charlie Lee, founder of the Litecoin Foundation; Chris Lee, chief financial officer of the Chinese exchange Huobi; Yoni Assia, chief executive of the trading platform eToro; and Helen Hai, head of Binance Charity
 Foundation.

  Among a slew of gifts, Sun presented Buffett with a Samsung phone loaded with one Bitcoin and a number of Tron TRX coins that corresponded with the 89-year-old’s birthday. Justin received priceless insights from Warren during $515.05 dinner. Let's see how TRX price will behave in upcoming hours ?




Are you ready with your jet pack for the mooning ? Or ride on a roller coaster?

Neither (I doubt Tron would get anything from this).

Why would you give money to a millionaire? That's like giving fish to a fisherman.... And Buffet hates crypto, he would have sold it or ignore the gift entirely, such a poor choice...

I'm sure it was just dinner. It's unlikely that Warren allowed Justin to talk about crypto.
I've heard about the intentions of organizing this meeting, and if I remember correctly the purpose of it for Justin was to convince Warren that Bitcoin is alright and deserves attention. So no wonder that they actually discussed cryptos over dinner. It was more like a business dinner, and Justin probably paid for it, right?
I don't think that it will affect the TRX price, though. After all, it's not like they agreed to a mutually beneficial partnership or anything, they just talked and apparently Warren did not change his mind at all.
