The person bought ‘banana’ for 52 crores, when the media came, he did it in front of everyone.

Chinese-born cryptocurrency founder Justin Sun has accomplished a remarkable feat. He first spent $6.2 million (Rs 52.4 crore) to buy a banana artwork taped to the wall. Then ate in the presence of media and other people. At an event held in Hong Kong, Sun first interacted with the media and then ate the expensive banana after promoting the artwork created by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan in front of them. Sun also drew parallels between art and crypto, describing the taste of the fruit. After eating the banana he said it was much better than other bananas.

According to reports, each participant in the program was given a banana and a roll of duct tape as souvenirs. The banana auction was held earlier. Suraj had earlier participated in the competition along with six other people. The auction took place in New York. This is not the first time that a banana with artwork has been eaten. I have eaten this kind of banana twice before. Such a banana was first eaten by a performance artist in 2019 and again by a South Korean student in 2023. However, no one had spent any money in previous cases.

Artisan Sun announced his plan to eat the fruit to mark the artwork’s history shortly after winning the auction last week. “In the days to come, I will discuss its place in both art history and popular culture,” he said at the time. To pay my respects, I will eat a banana with this artwork myself. “It represents a cultural phenomenon that connects the worlds of art, memes and the cryptocurrency community. “
