On July 30, 1863, the "Automobile King" Henry Ford was born. 127 years later, on July 30, 1990, Justin Sun was born in Xining, Qinghai Province. Just as Ford promoted the popularization of the automobile industry, Justin Sun has also made remarkable achievements in promoting the global adoption of cryptocurrency and Web3.

1863年7月30日，亨利·福特（Henry Ford）诞生了“汽车之王”。 127年后，即1990年7月30日，贾斯汀·孙（Justin Sun）出生于青海省的Xining。正如福特促进了汽车行业的普及一样，贾斯汀·孙（Justin Sun）在促进全球采用加密货币和Web3方面也取得了非凡的成就。

On March 28, 2025, Justin Sun, the 35-year-old founder of TRON, appeared on the cover of Forbes magazine, becoming the fourth person in the crypto field after CZ, SBF and Brian Armstrong. This event is undoubtedly a recognition of his contribution and global influence in the blockchain field, and has also attracted the collective attention of the crypto industry and traditional business.

2025年3月28日，特隆（Tron）的创始人贾斯汀·孙（Justin Sun）出现在《福布斯》杂志的封面上，成为CZ，SBF和Brian Armstrong之后的加密货币领域的第四人。这项活动无疑是对他在区块链领域的贡献和全球影响力的认可，也引起了加密货币行业和传统业务的集体关注。

The symbolic meaning from "controversy" to "authoritative certification"

从“争议”到“权威认证”的象征意义

Since entering the public eye, Justin Sun has been plagued by controversy.

自从进入公众视线以来，贾斯汀·孙一直受到争议的困扰。

From winning the first prize in the New Concept Essay Competition to successfully enrolling in the History Department of Peking University, Sun Yuchen had a smooth journey in his youth. In 2011, Sun Yuchen, who entered the University of Pennsylvania, Trump's alma mater, to pursue a master's degree, encountered something that influenced his life: Bitcoin. In the same year, he and Jiang Fangzhuo, who was studying at Tsinghua University, appeared on the cover of Asia Weekly.

从赢得新概念论文竞赛的一等奖到成功入学北京大学历史系，Sun Yuchen在他的青年时代就经历了平稳的旅程。 2011年，进入特朗普的母校宾夕法尼亚大学攻读硕士学位的孙尤钦（Sun Yuchen）遇到了影响他一生的东西：比特币。同年，他和在Tsinghua University学习的他和江口周刊都出现在Asia Weekly的封面上。

Sun Yuchen, who made his first fortune through Bitcoin, returned to China to start his own business in 2015. Coinciding with the rise of the domestic blockchain industry at that time, Sun Yuchen devoted himself to it and was naturally favored by the "Post-90s Fund" under IDG. That year, Sun Yuchen also received a great gift in his life: he became the first student of the "Lakeside University" founded by Alibaba founder Jack Ma, and was the only "post-90s" among them. His selection was not unrelated to the strong recommendation of IDG founder Xiong Xiaoge. This investment circle tycoon once wrote a letter of recommendation for Sun Yuchen personally, which also gave Sun Yuchen an additional title - "Jack Ma's disciple."

Sun Yuchen通过比特币赚了第一笔财富，回到中国，于2015年开始自己的业务。与当时的国内区块链行业的兴起相吻合，Sun Yuchen致力于它，并且自然受到IDG下的“ 90年代后基金”的青睐。那一年，孙·尤钦（Sun Yuchen）也收到了他一生中的一份好礼物：他成为阿里巴巴创始人杰克·马（Jack Ma）创立的“湖畔大学”的第一位学生，并且是其中唯一的“ 90年代后”。他的选择与IDG创始人Xiaoge的强烈建议无关。这个投资圈子大亨曾经为Sun Yuchen亲自写了一封推荐信，这也给了Sun Yuchen一个额外的头衔 - “ MA的门徒”。

It was also in 2015 that Jack Ma appeared on the cover of Forbes. As Justin Sun said on social media: "Ten years later, the world has changed, but the only thing that remains unchanged is inheritance, perseverance and construction. Ten years have passed, and everything has just begun."

同样在2015年，杰克·马（Jack Ma）出现在《福布斯》（Forbes）的封面上。正如贾斯汀·孙（Justin Sun）在社交媒体上说的那样：“十年后，世界发生了变化，但是唯一保持不变的是继承，毅力和建设。十年过去了，一切都刚刚开始。”

What really made Sun Yuchen famous was the sensational "Buffett lunch incident" in 2019. At 3:48 am on June 4, 2019, Sun Yuchen announced on major social platforms that he had successfully bid for Buffett's 20th anniversary charity lunch at a record-breaking price of $4.568 million (about RMB 31.54 million). However, on July 23, 2019, Sun Yuchen suddenly announced that he had to cancel the lunch with Buffett due to sudden kidney stones. Finally, on January 23, 2020, Sun Yuchen posted a photo on Twitter, showing that he had dinner with Buffett at a private country club in Omaha, USA. The dinner lasted more than 3 hours, and they exchanged topics such as Bitcoin and Tesla.

真正使Sun Yuchen闻名的是2019年轰动的“巴菲特午餐事件”。2019年6月4日上午3:48，Sun Yuchen在主要的社交平台上宣布，他成功地以45.68亿美元（约合315.4亿元）的价格竞标了巴菲特的20周年慈善午餐。然而，在2019年7月23日，孙·尤钦（Sun Yuchen）突然宣布，由于突然的肾结石，他不得不与巴菲特（Buffett）取消午餐。最终，在2020年1月23日，Sun Yuchen在Twitter上发布了一张照片，显示他在美国奥马哈的一个私人乡村俱乐部与巴菲特共进晚餐。晚餐持续了3个多小时，他们交换了比特币和特斯拉等话题。

Frankly speaking, Sun Yuchen's early behaviors did cause a lot of controversy. The crypto community believed that he created a personal image of a "post-90s entrepreneurial pioneer" for himself and used media publicity and business success cases to quickly increase his personal popularity. During this period, Sun Yuchen was more regarded as a hype master, and the cryptocurrency industry had mixed views on him. Some people recognized his marketing capabilities, but many people felt that he frequently used high-profile remarks and even "ridiculed the popularity."

坦率地说，太阳Yuchen的早期行为确实引起了很多争议。加密社区认为，他为自己创造了“ 90年代后的创业先驱”的个人形象，并使用媒体宣传和商业成功案例来迅速提高他的个人知名度。在此期间，Sun Yuchen更被视为炒作大师，加密货币行业对他的看法不同。有些人认识到他的营销能力，但许多人认为他经常使用备受瞩目的言论，甚至“嘲笑受欢迎程度”。

However, as the crypto market becomes more mature, the industry's perspective and attitude towards Justin Sun has quietly changed.

但是，随着加密货币市场变得越来越成熟，行业对贾斯汀·孙的观点和态度悄然改变了。

At the end of 2024, Justin Sun spent US$6.24 million (about RMB 45 million) to bid for the "most expensive banana" at Sotheby's auction house and paid with cryptocurrency. At the subsequent press conference, he also ate the banana on the spot. His behavior has become part of art, reflecting the charm of art - challenging traditional cognition to cause people to think deeply.

在2024年底，贾斯汀·孙（Justin Sun）花了624万美元（约合4500万元人民币），在苏富比拍卖行上竞标“最昂贵的香蕉”，并用加密货币付款。在随后的新闻发布会上，他还现场吃了香蕉。他的行为已成为艺术的一部分，反映了艺术的魅力 - 挑战传统认知使人们深入思考。

If it can be said that Justin Sun's "wealth" mainly relies on the celebrity effect and the bull market cycle of the crypto market, but as the industry begins to enter its mature stage, the crypto community has gradually understood and recognized the once unacceptable views or behaviors. This time, appearing on the cover of Forbes magazine is not only a recognition from the international mainstream media

如果可以说，贾斯汀·孙的“财富”主要依赖于名人效应和加密货币市场的牛市周期，但是随着行业开始进入成熟阶段，加密货币社区逐渐理解并认识到曾经不可接受的观点或行为或行为。这次，出现在《福布斯》杂志的封面上不仅是国际主流媒体的认可
