Never one to miss an excellent PR opportunity, Sun posted a lengthy open letter to the crypto community. In this Medium post, he opines on his respect for Warren Buffett and his determination to convince the old-school billionaire that blockchain is the future.

“I’m a long-term believer (and certainly a big fan) of Buffett and his long-term value investing strategy. As some of you might know, the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway has said publicly; he sees no “unique value” in Bitcoin, the world’s largest Cryptocurrency. Yet, he has pointed to the potential in blockchain, the underlying technology behind all Cryptocurrency.”
Naturally, what we are all dying to know is who Mr. Sun plans to take with him. In his post, he suggests that he may look to the crypto community for advice.
