Cryptocurrency Circle 'Sun Cuts', Enjoying the Escape of Life 🚀
Post-90s entrepreneur Sun Yuchen shocked the art world by purchasing an ordinary banana for $6.24 million. This banana is the protagonist of Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan's work 'Comedian', and the auction amount and the method of payment in cryptocurrency have attracted widespread attention. Sun Yuchen stated he plans to eat the banana to 'honor its artistic status'.
As a well-known figure in the cryptocurrency circle, Sun Yuchen's resume is impressive yet controversial. From 'Peking University academic elite' to 'cryptocurrency Jia Yueting', his entrepreneurial history is full of drama: he rose to fame early on through a writing competition that got him into Peking University, later studied in the U.S. and shifted to the business world. In China, he founded TRON, a public blockchain that became well-known for its virtual currency. Despite successfully raising funds, his market operations have frequently been questioned.
Sun Yuchen not only accumulated wealth through virtual currency but also sparked public discussions multiple times due to his marketing savvy and ability to create buzz. He purchased a lunch with Buffett but stood him up three times, ultimately ending this 'farce' in a low-key meeting. In recent years, he has continued to gain traction by leveraging NFTs and the metaverse concept, even becoming an official representative of a Caribbean country. However, his actions have repeatedly sparked controversy, earning him titles like 'Sun Cuts'.
From a small-town boy to an international businessman, Sun Yuchen boldly and flamboyantly navigates the business world, but behind his path of wealth and fame always lies scrutiny from the outside regarding his ethics and business model.
