Justin Sun Career
The Chinese technology entrepreneur was chosen by Jack Ma to study at Hupan University when he was 26, and was the only millennial among the first graduates. He became the cover figure of Yazhou Zhoukan in 2011 and Davos Global Youth Leaders in 2014. In 2015 he was named CNTV’s most noteworthy new entrepreneur, and was named in Forbes China 30 Under 30 from 2015 through 2017.
In July 2017, the entrepreneur launched the Tron Foundation, a company working on a blockchain-based ecosystem to create an infrastructure for decentralizing the Internet. The platform’s native coin is Tronix or TRON. The company was registered in Singapore as the Chinese laws are pretty hostile towards cryptocurrencies. TRON was close to Binance from the very beginning.
The technology entrepreneur placed the record-breaking $4.5 million bid to have a private lunch with Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett in June 2019, before cancelling it to widespread surprise. The lunch with Buffett eventually occurred in January 2020.
Another big scandal ignited in March 2020, when it turned out that Binance, Huobi, and Poloniex were using their users’ funds to vote for Justin Sun’s witness on Steem. Many voices claim that Sun was bribing people to take over Steem, but there is no proof. Steem is a decentralized platform that leans on the Delegated Proof of Stake protocol. However, since he got to the top of the Steem ministry, many things have improved on the platform. He cut and banned the ex-witnesses from advertising new content.
On 11 Mar 2021 the entrepreneur was, by a narrow margin, the underbidder on the historic $69M auction at Christie’s New York of the Beeple non-fungible token (NFT) collection Everydays: the First 5000 Days.
