Justin Sun, the 28-year old CEO of TRON, just spent $4.6 million to have lunch with Warren Buffett in an attempt to change the Investor of Omaha's mind about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.
Buffett will dine with Justin Sun and up to seven invitees at the renowned steakhouse Smith & Wollensky in New York City.
Sun will invite "Several industry leaders" to accompany him based on input from the TRON community.

In April, Justin Sun mistook a marketing email from Liverpool FC and spun it into a 'partnership' with the soccer team.
