Born in
1990, Sun Yuchen studied abroad in his early years and later threw himself into the entrepreneurial wave. Coinciding with the rise of the blockchain industry, he quickly amassed a vast personal fortune.In 2019, he won a charity lunch with Warren Buffett at a record-breaking price. He subsequently ventured into collecting NFTs and acquiring paintings by renowned artists such as Picasso; his flamboyant spending sprees consistently attract significant public attention.
Since leaving mainland China in 2018, he has not returned; he renounced his Chinese citizenship long ago and has been living in various countries and regions abroad for an extended period, obtaining various identity-related credentials through different channels.Public opinion of him has always been mixed: some view him as a winner who reaped the benefits of the cryptocurrency industry’s wealth-creation boom, while others recognize his skill in managing public discourse as that of a marketing expert. A significant portion of the public, however, disapproves of his conduct and directly labels him a speculator.Previously, most public commentary interpreted his series of extravagant spending sprees as deliberate publicity stunts designed to grab attention. It wasn’t until this incident—in which he publicly consumed a high-priced work of art—that the public began to take a deeper interest in the true intentions behind his actions.
In several key decisions he has made in the past, his assessment of industry trends and timing of market entry have always been spot-on; however, few have noticed that the underlying foundation of his assets has consistently lacked a stable identity as a basis. On the surface, he appears to move freely without geographical constraints,in reality, they are constantly exposed to potential external risks. Wealth that lacks the stability provided by a solid identity is often difficult to hold onto for the long term.

Looking back on their life experiences, many people have had moments when they missed out on opportunities presented by the times, and can only look back with regret that they didn’t seize them in time.
