Founder and entrepreneur Justin Sun finally ate the banana he bought a few days ago at auction for a fantastic sum of $6.2 million. This trendy piece of art was part of the collection "Comedian" by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan.
Despite the fact that the crypto enthusiast ate the banana, it does not mean that he has lost the art object as such, since he has a certificate of authenticity for it.
Thus, he can exchange the fruit at any moment, as the value lies in how the object is established and its confirmation of authenticity.
Justin Sun also commented on the material from The New York Times about the fruit seller Shah Alam, at whose kiosk the banana was bought for $0.25. The businessman reported that he bought 100,000 bananas from him for $25,000 in appreciation for such a tasty and healthy fruit.
After the crypto enthusiast bought the fruit, heated debates arose in the community about whether it was worth spending several million dollars on the purchase of one banana.
However, Sun himself stated that his act is to some extent a mockery of the crypto industry and meme coins that have flooded the market.
