Crypto Entrepreneur Eats $6.2 Million Banana Artwork
In a remarkable turn of events, cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun has made headlines after purchasing a banana artwork duct-taped to a wall for $6.2 million and subsequently eating the fruit during an event in Hong Kong. The banana, initially sold for just 25 cents by a 74-year-old New York fruit vendor, has caused a stir both in the art world and on social media. Sun expressed his intention to buy 100,000 more bananas from the vendor, highlighting the bizarre intersection of art and cryptocurrency, while the vendor lamented missing out on the fortune despite the viral fame of his fruit.
