When Sun Yuchen spent 4.57 million dollars to have a meal with Buffett, the whole world criticized him for being a publicity stunt; when he swallowed a 6.2 million dollar banana, the entire internet laughed at him for going crazy — but this crazy person leveraged one meal to stir a 23.6 billion dollar crypto empire, shutting everyone up!
The dining table is a battlefield, hype is traffic
The Buffett lunch isn't a meal, it's a super advertising space
After Sun Yuchen had lunch in 2019, the market value of TRX skyrocketed by 30%, directly making back the investment! This maneuver is comparable to using Buffett's image as a logo, with global media reporting for free, saving 1 billion in advertising costs.Captain's sharp comment: The marketing ancestor of the crypto world! While others spend money to buy trending topics, he spends money to buy the Buffett endorsement persona, even if called a scammer, the traffic has already been monetized.
Banana Philosophy: The capital game behind the absurdity
Spending 6.2 million dollars to buy a banana and eat it on the spot? It seems like performance art, but in reality, it’s a precise strike — NFT circles are buzzing about Sun Yuchen = top collector, and the NFT trading volume in the TRON ecosystem doubled the next day.Captain's case: Just like Musk tweeting about Dogecoin, Sun Yuchen uses bananas to brainwash retail investors: this person dares to spend money, follow him to gamble!
Trump's dinner is the killer move: Political leverage to manipulate regulation
In 2025, he spent 17.9 million dollars hoarding Trump coins, what did he gain?(1) SEC suspends litigation against TRON
(2) TRON goes public via a shell on NASDAQ, backed by the Trump family
(3) U.S. policy shifts to support crypto, Sun Yuchen becomes a compliance spokesperson
Captain's view: Is this about having a meal? It's stuffing red envelopes to the regulators! Using political resources to exchange for survival rights is 100 times more effective than technical teams.
Summary of bold statements: Sun Yuchen's three-pronged strategy
The first strike against retail investors: Creating FOMO through controversial events to attract retail investors to take over
The second strike against regulation: Tying to political bigwigs, transforming gray industries into national strategies
The third strike against competitors: Acquiring Huobi and Poloniex, monopolizing trading entrances, draining competitors' liquidity
99% of those who criticize Sun Yuchen don't even have a fraction of his account! — Don't wait until others profit off you before you learn!
