In 2019, Justin Sun made headlines for a charity lunch with Warren Buffett for $4.57 million.
It was the most expensive meal in history.
But for Sun, the focus is not on steak, but on signals.
At that time, Justin Sun was only 28 years old.
He has already founded TRON, a blockchain startup that raised $70 million through an ICO.
It also acquired BitTorrent for $140 million and transformed it into a Web3 protocol.
Now, he wants more: legitimacy and legitimacy.
Buffett is the holy grail of Wall Street's respect.
Justin Sun spent $4.57 million to buy that lunch,
In exchange for something that no crypto founder has ever received:
A seat at the table of a big man.
He postponed the real lunch (citing kidney stones).
But the headlines have already swiped the screen:
"Crypto founder threw millions of dollars to dinner with Buffett."
The media worked.
Justin Sun turned a public relations stunt into a cognitive shift.
When they finally met in 2020, Justin Sun brought several guests from the crypto world, including Litecoin founder Qiwei Lee.
He gave Buffett a Samsung Galaxy Fold with 1 Bitcoin and some TRX (which was later forwarded by Buffett).
But what is the real gift?
It is attention.
Sun Yuchen already knew that Buffett would not change his stance because of this.
But he doesn't need Buffett to actually change.
What he needs is that moment. That image. That illusion of cryptocurrency shaking hands with Wall Street.
That's all it takes to build the next stage for his empire.
After having lunch with Buffett, Sun Yuchen completely entered "chaos mode":
– Acquired the cryptocurrency exchange Poloniex
– Acquired Steemit
– Created the stablecoin USDD
– Allegedly boosted the trading volume of TRUMP Meme coin
– Gave himself the title of "diplomat" of Grenada, and even became the "Prime Minister" of Liberland
This is even more outrageous than a novel.
He even paid $6.2 million for a banana that was taped to the wall...... Then eat it.
Performance art? Marketing gimmick? Or a giant whole job?
That's right.
All of them.
Today, the value of the TRON ecosystem has exceeded $23.6 billion.
It drives stablecoins, NFTs, DeFi, games, and even today's meme coin derivatives.
As for Justin Sun?
He is pushing all of this into the capital market through a reverse merger IPO.
The most ridiculous part?
He is being investigated by the US SEC on suspicion of fraud.
But it is still expanding.
Today, that case has been put on hold.
And his empire? It continues to grow.
Justin Sun understands better than most people:
→ Attention is leverage
→ Narrative is capital
→ A move that is outrageous enough but works well to tilt reality in your favor
Buffett didn't change his mind.
But Justin Sun changed his position.
Lessons from the craziest $4.57 million spent in history:
– Exposure brings acceleration
– Credibility can be borrowed
– One move can completely reshape your positioning
Justin Sun didn't buy a lunch,
It's a narrative.
Whether you love him or hate him...
You have to admit:
Justin Sun isn't just playing the crypto game.
He cracked the whole rule with memes, diplomacy, and a dinner party that changed everything.
