There is an ancient saying that you cannot not teach an old dog a new trick. But Justin Sun, the founder of Tron thinks he can.
This is exactly what Sun intends to do by winning a bid worth $3.4m to have a lunch with Warren Buffett, the incredibly successful American investor and billionaire who had publicly referred to Bitcoin as a rat poison, a gambling device, etc.
Now in his 80s, Warren Buffett's belief that cryptos are bullshits has not changed. And he has a right to hold these beliefs having become one of the most successful American capitalists in an era of centralization and less transparency.
However, as a way of convincing Warren Buffett about the potential of cryptos and the blockchain, Sun, who is already well known in the crypto space for his aggressive marketing campaigns, will be meeting with Buffett soon. He hopes to be a bridge between institutional investors such as Buffet and the crypto space.
Over a few bottles of drinks and plates of roasted chicken, Sun and his friends which may include Vitalik, the founder of Ethereum, will attempt to convince Buffett. They will explain to Buffet the power of decentralization, the immutability of Bitcoin, the revolutionary waves of blockchain, etc.
Buffett could doze off during the seemingly boring lectures and wake up laughing mischievously. He could say, hey guys I don't give a fuck about crypto and doze off again and then wake up to say, hey, bitcoin is like the poo in the water water closet.
Well, whether Warren Buffett changes his mind or not after meeting Justin and his friends, the revolutionary power of cryptos are not in doubt. Big players like Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, Samsung, etc have come into the scene already. Many more will come in the coming days. So crypto does not need Warren Buffett to come; at the right time Buffett will come to crypto and eat his words.
For now, If Buffett refuses to change his mind, at least Justin Sun would have realised that indeed one cannot teach an old dog a new trick. Perhaps one day the old dog will review the old tricks and make it a bit new. It will be quite interesting to see how things unfold.
