Billionaire crypto OG and the creator of Tron just spent millions on a banana, ate it, and plans to send a banana to space with SpaceX.
Yep… Justin never ceases to amaze.
I also chatted to @justinsuntron about his early days in crypto, his investment in Doge in 2013, his meeting with Warren Buffett, his investment in Tesla, and the founding of Tron.
The interview was cut short after an hour, so we agreed to sit down next week in Abu Dhabi for a longer conversation as I pick his brain on the current state of crypto, memecoins, and even NFTs.
