@justinsuntron @SpaceX @Sothebys Hello @justinsuntron. We are a non-profit that uses the arts to assist the most vulnerable: immigrants, incarcerated, domestic violence survivors, the elderly, and others. If you are able to buy a banana for $6m, would you consider a $1m donation to us? artscene.org

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve bought the banana🍌 !!! @SpaceX @Sothebys I am Justin Sun, and I’m excited to share that I have successfully acquired Maurizio Cattelan’s iconic work, Comedian for $6.2 million. This is not just an artwork; it represents a cultural phenomenon that bridges the worlds of art, memes, and the cryptocurrency community. I believe this piece will inspire more thought and discussion in the future and will become a part of history. I am honored to be the proud owner of the banana 🍌 and look forward to it sparking further inspiration and impact for art enthusiasts around the world. Additionally, in the coming days, I will personally eat the banana 🍌as part of this unique artistic experience, honoring its place in both art history and popular culture. Stay tuned!
