1st from Crypto Events TOP5 – Justin Sun’s crypto lunch with Warren Buffet

Earlier this year, there was a charity that featured lunch with the legendary investor of Wall Street, Warren Buffet, as one of the rewards for donations. The lunch with a famous businessman was won by the TRON CEO, Justin Sun, with a bid of $4.5 million.

Sun’s goal was to talk to Buffet about crypto and try to convince him that cryptos are good for the future. Unfortunately, the lunch had to be delayed, and eventually, it was cancelled, causing widespread disappointment throughout the crypto industry.

2nd from Crypto Events TOP5 – Craig Wright’s “Rusty staples and coffee stains”

Craig Wright has been trying to claim the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto — Bitcoin’s mysterious creator — for a number of years now. However, Wright was never able to move a single coin that belongs to Satoshi, which is the only way he could prove to the world that he is, indeed, who he claims to be.

In one of the more recent attempts to do so, he claimed that he had a ‘mountain of evidence,’ including historical documents, such as the handwritten version of Bitcoin’s white paper, which included ‘coffee stains and rusty staples.’ Not exactly proof, but it was certainly an entertaining statement at the time.

3rd from Crypto Events TOP5 – TRON Tesla Giveaway Disaster

Earlier this year, TRON, and its CEO, Justin Sun, came under a pretty negative spotlight after a PR disaster revolving around a Tesla giveaway. As some may remember, Sun announced that TRON is partnering up with Tether, which was supposed to be followed by a giveaway of Tesla Model S.

Many were sceptical right away, but a lot of people were also quite hopeful. The Twitter announcement exploded, and when the time came to draw the winner, Sun used a random lottery selection software, TWrench. But, when he posted the video, it quickly got removed due to a ‘glitch’ and ‘large file size.’ When the community managed to dig it up, they realized that it was fake and that the “winner’s” name appeared before the drawing even began.

4th – When crypto exchange, Poloniex, delisted DigiByte

A crypto project known as DigiByte made a lot of effort in order to get listed on some of the biggest exchanges out there, and Poloniex was quite high on the list. The project eventually got listed, but it was also quickly removed from the exchange quite recently.

Why? Simple. The project’s founder took to Twitter to blow off some steem and criticize quite a few big names in the crypto industry, including Binance CEO, CZ, TRON CEO, Justin Sun, and even Poloniex itself. DigiByte was removed from the exchange soon after, and many believe that this was the reason why.

5th – Binance turned its back on BTT

Another major fail from a few months ago came about as Binance delisted 30 trading pairs from its platform, including TRON-based BitTorrent (BTT). Interestingly enough, this was the first token that Binance Launchpad ever launched, and it even started the Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) trend that marked the year.

Binance even publicly supported TRX and BTT earlier this year, only to delist its trading pairs (among others) later on, which caused a major price drop for BTT and its peers. It was undoubtedly a hard blow for BTT and Justin Sun alike.
