Crypto Firm Chief Accepts Invitation to Warren Buffett Lunch With Tron’s Justin Sun

Jeremy Allaire, chief executive officer of crypto-powered finance firm Circle, has just accepted an invitation to join Tron and BitTorrent CEO Justin Sun for a lunch date with legendary investor Warren Buffett. Allaire, who founded the Goldman Sachs-backed Circle inĀ  2013, will attend the event along with Charlie Lee, the creator of Litecoin, the world’s fourth-largest cryptocurrency, who has also confirmed his attendance as one of Sun’s guests.

Hi Justin, I would be honored to join you and @WarrenBuffett next week to discuss crypto!! Count me in. Crypto is now a major global policy issue and there is a great deal for Mr Buffet to understand and for us to learn from him as well. https://t.co/PGY8bXQBcZ

The high-profile lunch comes on the heels of a series of intense debates about the caliber and integrity of the cryptocurrency industry with critics calling it everything from a scam to a cesspool, and supporters calling it revolutionary.

The topic was a key focus among G7 finance ministers who gathered in Chantilly, France on Wednesday. While regulators have reached no clear consensus on a regulatory framework, Facebook’s entry into the space – and the reality of its 2.5 billion users – have driven tremendous attention and a sense of urgency for lawmakers to act swiftly.

In the US, the ongoing controversy over crypto sparked two consecutive congressional hearings this week with politicians debating Libra while grilling Facebook’s David Marcus. The tech giant’s plans to launch a digital coin on a new global payments platform sparked even deeper discussions about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general, evoking a critical tweet from President Donald Trump and warnings from Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.

As progress heats up and blockchain developers continue to build new products and services, Sun says that both Trump and Buffett, who have made strident remarks condemning cryptocurrencies, are ill-informed about the tech, its benefits and its important use cases around the world. He hopes the face-to-face meeting will allow him and his colleagues to give Buffett a broad overview and a better understanding of the digital economy, shattering the old tropes and stereotypes about Bitcoin as a vehicle for crooks.

Sun also made one of his customary announcements via Twitter about an upcoming announcement, indicating that something significant is in store for his two platforms, Tron and BitTorrent.

NEWSFLASH: In addition to the #WarrenBuffett lunch, something HUGE will also be happening next week! Are you ready??#TRON #TRX $TRX #BTT $BTT

— H.E. Justin Sun ??? (@justinsuntron) July 18, 2019

Sun won the upcoming lunch date on July 25th with the Berkshire Hathaway CEO by placing the winning bid of $4.56 million last month at Buffett’s annual charity auction for the GLIDE Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides services for the homeless in San Francisco.
