 Justin's son's lunch date with Warren Buffett has been officially set for July 25th. Him and along with seven friends will be lunching with Buffett in San Francisco, not in New York at Smith & Molensky's. However, since Smith & Molensky's originally was planning to get $100,000 to glide as they do every year, Justin's son has himself stepped up to donate $100,000 to the foundation just in order to get Buffett to be with him in San Francisco. We got the chance to talk to son about all the things he's planning to speak about with Warren Buffett, a very well-known Bitcoin hater, as well as the people and how they were chosen to come to this lunch. So whatever restaurant son has chosen, we better hope that they serve burgers. So my first question for you is what are you hoping to get out of the meeting with him? So basically, what we want to do is all about communication. We just want to become the bridge between the traditional institutional investor and the crypto space. So our goal is not to persuade Warren Buffett to buy cryptocurrency or to convince him to even get Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency. But we just want to update Warren Buffett about the recent progress we have been achieving in our space. So why and how did you decide to pick the seven people that you can bring along with you? Sure. So we have spent a lot of the time to do the pull with our team and also a lot of our other partners. So first of all, we will listen to the community to know which one is the best candidate. And also, at the same time, we have to consult lots of our partners. For example, like Binance, like Huobi and also lots of our projects we have been working very closely. And third, of course, we choose lots of the partners has been worked with strong for so many years. So we have mutual trust. So that's basically the three standards we will choose the candidates. So are you guys all going to meet up beforehand and try to come up with a strategy? Or is it going to be more natural? You're going to show up. You're going to talk about your progress crypto blockchain. Which way are you going to do it? I think it's more like casual. So we don't want to make the whole lunch to be like literally like a commercial conference or just like some foreign. So you need to prepare beforehand or make lots of the preparation. So it's very casual. But also we want to be prepared for that for sure. As you know, this time the lunch will be held in San Francisco, July 25th in San Francisco. So this is also like it is on Euro. We changed the location from New York to San Francisco. So that's why we just want to show our commitment and also our preparation for these events as well. So I heard that since it's not in the normals with Smith and Wellen's New York location, which normally donates $100,000 to Glide, now you'll be having it in San Francisco and you'll be donating. How did that come about? So basically the first day I win the auction, I pick up the phone call from Borden Buffet and his team. And they said they are definitely open to like the choice we can this time we can move to other cities. So that's why it's like instantly come out with me. I just want to do the San Francisco. And then they told me like the only ob its deco there is like the New York restaurant before they donate $100,000 to the Glide Foundation. So I said I'm happy to like cover the expenses to move to San Francisco because I think the San Francisco most of the crypto companies and also the projects based in San Francisco and also it's near the city can valley. It's also where the Glide Foundation is based. So I think this is the perfect location for the lunch. So you don't regret the extra $100,000? Yeah, definitely. Yeah. Okay, cool. So my next question is that one of the past auction winners actually a two time auction winner ended up actually getting hired at Berkshire Hathaway. So is this on the cards for you? No, I don't think so because I have like come into myself dedicated myself like the the whole life into the crypto space. But definitely we are looking forward to collaborate with like with the Berkshire Hathaway in like lots of the opportunities. I also personally speaking I want to become like Warren Buffett's friends in the crypto space and in the blockchain space and the update for him like the every progress we have made in our industry. Because most of the time I think the Warren Buffett just gets our news from the media and even lots of it's like outsider medias. So that's why I think he needs some like insider or like some like like recent progress of the like the whole blockchain technology. So if big if you're able to convince him of the positive aspects of crypto currencies and he has spoken positively about blockchain, but what projects do you think that you would recommend that he works in? I'm assuming Tron and BitTorrent would be first on your list. Yeah sure. So basically we want to be neutral on the on this kind of the perspective. I would rather recommend did him to certain like technology rather than like a project. For example, I will recommend him to know like the blockchain space is not only about Bitcoin. He has been known for a long time, but also like a smart contract platform, like DApps has been like really popular recent days. Like Ethereum got 2000 DApps, EOS, like us like Tron, we got like 500 DApps. So it's really popular. So I mean, there's lots of the exciting news like happened in our industry like every day. So I just want Warren Buffett to know like what's like really going on in this in the industry. So have you heard anything from Warren Buffett's team about whether he's excited to talk about crypto, any sort of rumors and like that? Yeah sure. I think first of all Warren Buffett is delighted to meet with us and then I'm 100% sure he is fully confident and also interested in learning about the new technology. So that's why I also think the mainstream media is kind of misleading. So they gave us like a portrait that the Warren Buffett is this like the blockchain crypto and all the new technology. Actually, I think Warren Buffett is very interested in the new technology. Just like last year he said he's regret not like investing Amazon and Google in the early times. So in order for Warren Buffett to learn more about crypto and blockchain, would you recommend him to read Cointelegraph? Yeah, sure definitely. I think that's also something I can recommend him definitely to look more news in Cointelegraph. Like those media is mainly focused pure on crypto. So it's more like crypto friendly and also have more like in-depth reports in the crypto space. Rather than I mean most of the media nowadays we get from the crypto space, lots of the media is like a negative news. It's just about a random guy caught in the money laundry use be quiet or some people trying to use anonymous or privacy payment channel just to try to get away from the law enforcement stuff like that. So we definitely need like more in-depth in the progress and the technology in the space. What is the first thing you're going to say to Warren Buffett? Oh yeah, the first thing I think I'm going to ask him is is he like really used like the smartphone right now or used like the old Nokia or the like old Samsung phone. I'm just curious what you would say to your critics about the whole Tesla giveaway situation. I just want to explain more to the Tesla. So basically what I learned from the Tesla giveaway is that like keep the community because the blockchain space is all like community focus. So you need to be like fully transparent and also like make the community know all about like the older process in the first place. So that's why I mean in the future any sweepstakes or anything we do need related to the community. We will do the live streaming rather than record the video. So because this is more like transparent and also the same time you know because at the end of the day we end up give away actually to Tesla. Lots of people didn't know like actually we give away like to Tesla to the first winner and the second winner we choose in the live streaming. So that's why we also show our community commitment. I guess you won't be able to but would you want to try to live stream your lunch with Warren Buffett. Yeah that's definitely I think this is a fantastic idea. We definitely I would like to communicate with Warren Buffett team to show if we can. I'm not sure if we can do live streaming but definitely I think at that day we're going to do something to let the community know like what's going on. Like lots of the like the stuff we just want to keep the community update. Great. Yeah thank you. Thank you so much for talking with us and good luck with your Warren Buffett lunch because I'm a news editor here so I cover all of his Bitcoin comments and I think that it's going to be interesting to be in a room with him. Yeah definitely. Thanks for talking with us Justin and we're going to check back in with you hopefully after this lunch.
