Meanwhile, the winner of the auction is going to donate this NFT to the flagship Tron-based ecosystem of digital collectibles, APENFT:

It is exciting to see large scale NFT use cases such as the Golden Whale Pass and I am excited to be a part of this legacy. Congratulations to The Bitcoin Conference team and the NFT Glee team, I plan on donating this NFT to the APENFT project and look forward to using my pass well into the future.

With 50,000 attendees, the Bitcoin 2021 conference is the largest event in the history of blockchain and cryptocurrencies.

Tron (TRX) increases its bet on NFTs

With this eccentric purchase, Mr. Sun stresses his commitment to the concept of non-fungible tokens.

Previously, Tron Foundation launched a $30 million fund to acquire the most impressive digital artworks in the segment.
