The landmark lunch was even more intriguing considering the fact that Warren Buffett is not a big fan of cryptocurrencies.

Justin Sun made mention of Charlie Munger in the video, citing him as an example of someone who has a lot to share but there’s no longer an opportunity to meet with him as he passed away last year. Charlie Munger, up until his death was also not a fan of Bitcoin and crypto, however, in accordance with Crypto News Flash’s prior coverage, Berkshire Hathaway is known to invest in Nu Holdings, a Brazil-based digital bank with an interest in Bitcoin.

Justin Sun noted that the lunch marked one of the biggest honors of his life especially as the funds for the launch was donated to a charity in the local community.
