Encrypted currencies are getting more and more attention. In particular, blockchain technology will have a far-reaching impact on the future. Okex is doing very well in futures trading. I think okex can play a role in future exchanges.
If only they could pursue Warren, see what is there to come when he finally gets into the business of crypto and put his money or even just a slight support naming crypto currencies are helpful to the community mostly for investors then a massive bullrun can again be possible, may be single night of hike in price would be expected. Before the lunch would take, I think we should buy more Bitcoins and fill our bags with it or else we don't know what might happens next after the lunch, maybe a total turn of events and Warren could be one of the main reason to boost again the price of Bitcoin.

So,,, the rich white guys are now going to be taken over by rich east asian guys. How nice for the world. Tron, Okex, so what,,, I think they are doing good if they are donating to charity but then they have to make such big news of it it takes away some of the good feeling. Why could they not have just made it about charity and be done with it?

$4.6 million??? OMG!! This is freakish 
It's not so bad consider about the result of how much medias will try to create so many news and publication about tron platform especially because its CEO has lunch with the big name. 4.6 millions are small money for justin. Believe me it's just like a penny for him.

Maybe Vitalik Buterin can be included in the guest list and maybe Changpeng Zhao from binance can be included in the guest list as a representative of the exchange. I hope after lunch that the Buffett mind on the blockchain will be more open and better understand its benefits, so that it can attract investors or large institutions to invest in crypto and blockchain.

Unblievable, that figure into charity. Is this really correct. Still hard to believe

A lot of people had negative views regarding Cryptos and it all has changed. So no surprise Buffet too took a U-turn. Anyhow, nice for Justin to sit along side with such a legend. And so for OKEX.

This will not only bring positive reaction and feedback to From, but also to blockchain in general. Very soon, altcoins, which includes From, will start having a good turn.
Just as we see some influential and the well known set of people, going against cryptocurrency, some of them are seriously supporting it.

I think Warren had harsh views about BTC but never about Blockchain industry.
July 18, 2019, 05:58:07 PM
But why Okex? No disrespect to them but there are some really major names from exchange industry, so why them?
July 18, 2019, 05:48:04 PM
Wow, I am shocked after reading this. Can anyone really pay that much for a lunch? Not sure I would ever do.
Maybe that’s why I am here and they are there

I wish I was able to meet that great personality. No wonder $4.6 M was bid. Money is not always everything!
July 18, 2019, 05:32:58 PM
Not a bad company to have!
OKEx is a very good choice….

Justin Sun, the CEO of Tron, is hoping to invite a top OKEx executive to his lunch with legendary investor, Warren Buffett.
Sun, founder of $1.6 billion rated cryptocurrency Tron, famously won the auction to dine with Buffett, nicknamed “the Oracle of Omaha”, after bidding $4.6 million for the spot in June.
His bid blew the competition out of the water, and was the highest ever winning bid made for the lunch, that held its first event back in 2000, where the winner paid $25,000 for the privilege.
Now, as the July 25 event draws nearer, Sun is assembling a top team of crypto influencers and blockchain luminaries to join him in Silicon Valley to promote the benefits of everything from bitcoin, blockchain and decentralization, in the hope that Buffett finally sees the benefits.
Among them is expected to be Andy Cheung, up and coming overseas lead of OKEx, a cryptocurrency exchange based out of Malta.
Andy is well known for his experience in blockchain, having helped steer the exchange through the recent turbulence of the 2018/19 bear market.
An insider with close connections to Tron, who did not wish to be named, said Sun would be picking and choosing the best talent at his disposal to finally convince Buffett on the potential of blockchain, and how it represents a major opportunity for businesses globally.
“We’ve seen all sorts of names being talked about for the guest list. For example, there were rumors he could ask Alibaba founder Jack Ma to attend, and also suggestions he would invite VitalikButerin, Ethereum’s founder along,” they said.
“But ideally he wants someone from an exchange to come along, and someone from a prominent exchange like OKEx would be ideally suited to explain the intricacies of the crypto market.”
He’s coming around
While Buffett was initially ice cold on bitcoin and crypto, the signs are his attitude is thawing.
After calling bitcoin a “gambling” device, that attracts “charlatans” and produced nothing, in February this year he told CNBC that he could see the importance of blockchain, though he admitted that someone had to explain the benefits to him.
“People get their hopes up that something like that is going to change their lives, and it’s a very ingenious thing to figure out how to have a limited supply and make it harder and more expensive to create them as you go along and all that sort of thing but it doesn’t, the function … blockchain does not depend on bitcoin,” he said.
