The lunch represents a way to \u201cpayback\u201d Buffett.<\/p>\n<p>But Sun\u2019s primary motive for the lunch with Buffett? to become the \u201cbridge\u201d between institutional investors\u2014such as Buffett\u2014and the crypto and blockchain community.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI want to bring seven leaders of the blockchain industry to communicate with Warren Buffett about blockchain technology and the opportunity behind it,\u201d said Sun.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to the TRON CEO, Warren Buffett doesn\u2019t have the \u201cright source\u201d for blockchain and is mislead by the media. The industry has made tremendous progress since 2009, as evidenced by involvement from companies such as <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/facebooks-bitcoin-inspired-cryptocurrency-globalcoin-to-launch-in-2020\/\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/largest-bank-in-the-us-jp-morgan-chase-unveils-cryptocurrency-jpm-coin\/\">JPMorgan Chase<\/a>, according to Sun.<\/p>\n<p>When asked whether Justin Sun could change Warren Buffett\u2019s mind about Bitcoin over the three-hour lunch, he said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThere\u2019s too much to change his mind on Bitcoin in a three-hour lunch. We will offer him a different opinion on Bitcoin and blockchain technology.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>However, with the roles reversed, Justin Sun finds it unlikely that Buffett will \u201cchange his mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWarren Buffett is 60 years older than me.
