Tron’s [TRX] popularity was off the charts on Tuesday after Tron Foundation CEO Justin Sun announced his winning bid to have lunch with the crypto-skeptic, Warren Buffett. Buffett, who once called Bitcoin “rat poison squared,” will meet with Sun and others from the cryptoverse, and the bet is on whether or not Sun will be able to convert a crypto-skeptic into a crypto-cheerleader.
This news impacted the performance of the coin in the market as it did not fall prey to the raging bear. Tron [TRX] had been struggling since it lost its place in the list of the world’s top 10 cryptocurrencies. However, development in its ecosystem has kept the coin afloat. Since the beginning of the year, TRX has grown by a massive 103.56%, with its price jumping from $0.0181 to $0.0370.
