The Tron price<\/a> started plummeting on Monday minutes after founder Justin Sun canceled his lunch-date with legendary investor Warren Buffett.<\/p>\n

As of 10:00 UTC today, the TRX\/USD instrument had dropped to a new session low of 0.023, down 22.27 percent from its 24-hour peak. The vast movement to the downside came as a part of a comprehensive correction in the cryptocurrency market. Like Tron, other leading digital assets too experienced drops. But they relatively caused fewer losses to their investors, never reaching a double-digit percentage in negative territory, as Tron did.<\/p>\n

Kidney Stones before Kidney Beans<\/h2>\n

Investors in the cryptocurrency industry were anticipating tremendous outcomes from Sun’s charity lunch with Buffett<\/a>, a billionaire investor who called bitcoin a “rat poison squared.” The Tron founder & CEO earlier wrote in a Medium post that he would attempt to change Buffett’s mind on cryptocurrency and blockchain. He further invited big names in the cryptocurrency industry, including Circle exchange CEO Jeremy Allaire and eToro founder Yoni Assia, as guests to his meeting with Buffett.<\/p>\n

“I believe we in the blockchain community are at the beginning of an era of immense technological and financial growth,” Sun wrote<\/a>. “I also firmly believe that with the right communication and understanding, Buffett will change his overall stance on cryptocurrency and blockchain, allowing this new investment strategy to become integrated into his overall portfolio.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On Thursday, Sun called off his important date citing medical reasons. The official Tron Foundation tweeted that their CEO has fallen ill with kidney stones. That led both him and Buffett to reschedule their lunch to July 25.<\/p>\n

The price of Tron fell 8 percent right after the foundation’s tweet, drawing criticism from all corners of the cryptocurrency community. Famous market analyst DonAlt called the scenario laughable, as he added:<\/p>\n

“When your crypto dumps by 8% because of a lunch postponement, you’re owning the wrong fu**ing crypto.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
