I happened to see someone discussing Sun Yuchen's development trajectory, and this person is indeed quite worth talking about.



From his background, this guy was born in Qinghai in 1990. In 2007, he entered university through Peking University’s admission policy for talented students, and was even joked about as a "third-tier university dropout who made a comeback." During his study abroad in the U.S. in 2011, he received funding from Lee Teng-hui, then got involved in Bitcoin investments, earning hundreds of millions of dollars in a short period. This experience marks the starting point of all his subsequent stories.

He really started gaining fame around 2014, when he began creating various titles—such as "Buffett alumnus," "Pennsylvania high achiever," "Tesla investor," and even claimed to be the CEO of certain projects in Greater China. In 2015, he entered Lakehead University as the only post-90s student, and was immediately hyped by the media as "Jack Ma’s youngest disciple." The same year, he also made the Forbes 30 Under 30 list.

After founding TRON in 2017, things started to become more dramatic. Although the public blockchain was accused of code issues, it still ranked among the top global public chains. In 2018, he sold 6 billion TRX tokens at a high price, earning 12 billion yuan overnight. Since then, he’s been nicknamed "Sun Cutting" by the community—this name vividly reflects his style of operation. His asset scale expanded from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of billions.

The most outrageous event happened in 2019 when he spent 30 million yuan to buy a lunch with Warren Buffett, but he repeatedly canceled. This drew a lot of attention worldwide, successfully "breaking out" of the circle, but also significantly damaged Buffett’s impression of Chinese entrepreneurs. During this period, he continued to cash out TRX for billions of yuan in profit.

His 2022 moves were even more outrageous—spending $100 million to obtain Grenada citizenship and serve as a diplomatic ambassador to avoid U.S. sanctions, thereby gaining diplomatic immunity. He also met with representatives from Singapore, Russia, the EU, and others.

Now at 33, he is already a billionaire-level figure, regarded by many as a "cryptocurrency legend," and even claims to run for U.S. president. Honestly, his story is indeed full of controversy and dramatic flair.

By the way, TRX is currently trading around $0.32, with a market cap of roughly 30 billion dollars. If you're interested, you can check the relevant data on Gate.io.
