Crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun has set bars for reactions via all the social media platforms after eating the banana artwork he bought for a staggering currency of $6.2 million.
In a world where art thrives at all instinct, a highly profiled artist, Maurizio Cattelan, duct-taped a banana to the wall and auctioned it for sale in 2019.
Forward to November 24, 2024, Sun, alongside other businessmen, engaged in a bid battle at a Sotheby’s auction in New York. He outbid six participants and purchased the artwork.
On Friday, during his recent appearance at a press event at a luxury Hong Kong Hotel, Sun consumed a bit of the banana amidst influencers and journalists backing his action.
According to him, his experience bid that the banana tastes more than other bananas. He added that ‘it’s quite good.’
His words:
“It’s much better than other bananas, it’s really good”
Addressing his bid, he expressed having felt the feeling of doubts when he won over other powerful bidders, adding that he also embraced a spark for a trademarked conversation.
He added that eating the banana during his press conference will add to the history of the artwork while further addressing that it also connects more like the world of NFTs and blockchain technology. Their values align in virtual realms ahead of their physical form.
He said:
“This is much like the NFTs”
Concerned civilians flooded their social media handles and reacted massively according to their views.
