Why is not date announced?
Topic: Justin Sun Cancels Warren Buffet Lunch - page 3. (Read 484 times)
Shocking! I can’t believe this can be overnight thing? I have seen people in my family having kidney stones, it’s not overnight thing. This really sounds strange to me.
Tron CEO Justin Sun has canceled his much-anticipated charity lunch with Warren Buffet that was set for Thursday (July 25th), he has revealed on Weibo this morning. The post by Sun was revealed by Mia Tam on Twitter and was later confirmed by the Tron foundation.
The reason for the absence at the charity lunch which Sun bought for over $4 million dollars is due to the Tron CEO having kidney stones. The tweet read:
Both parties have agreed to reschedule a new date but this must be a real disappointment for Sun, who has already invited numerous attendees from the crypto space. The key people in the industry who had been invited by Sun to Quince, a three-Michelin-star restaurant in San Francisco are big players in the industry.
The figures with an invite include: Jihan Wu, founder of Bitmain and his new company Matrix; Ethereum’s founder, Vitalik Buterin; Litecoin founder, Charlie Lee; the founder and CEO of trading platform eToro, Yoni Assia; head of the Binance Charity Fund, Helen Hai; Jeremy Allaire, the CEO of crypto payments firm Circle and as of today, Chris Lee the CFO, Board Secretary and VP of International Business Development from Huobi.
Sun had used this event as a huge PR move for him and the industry as a whole. The attention-grabbing headlines notched up after he invited US President Donald Trump. This was after the US President claimed that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies were hot air and he was against them.
Buffet lunch: a big moment?
This has been seen as a huge moment for the crypto community. Buffet is the biggest investor known and has been hosting these charity lunches for a long time. However, he has often been skeptical, to say the least about the cryptocurrency industry.
How much this will do for the industry as a whole is questionable, yet it will keep giving more exposure and potentially mainstream adoption for the future. Despite this, we wish Sun a speedy recovery and hope the much-anticipated lunch will be rescheduled soon.
