The cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun has fulfilled a promise he made after spending $6.2m on an artwork featuring a banana duct-taped to a wall — by eating the fruit.
At one of Hong Kong’s priciest hotels, the 34-year-old chomped down on the banana in front of dozens of journalists and influencers after giving a speech hailing the work as “iconic” and drew parallels between conceptual art and cryptocurrency.
