China’s Hong Kong — After spending $6.2 million on an artwork that included a banana duct-taped to a wall, cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun on Friday kept his word by eating the fruit.
After praising the piece as “iconic” and drawing comparisons between conceptual art and cryptocurrencies,
Sun choked on a banana in front of hundreds of reporters and influencers at one of Hong Kong’s most expensive hotels.
After tasting it for the first time, Sun said, “It’s much better than other bananas.” “It’s actually pretty good.”
