A crypto entrepreneur once paid $4.5 million just to share a meal with one of the world's most respected investors. The irony? The investor used that time to actively discourage him from betting on Bitcoin. It's a perfect snapshot of the generational divide in finance—one side willing to pay millions for a seat at the table, the other skeptical about digital assets. The exchange highlights how even with a massive premium on their time, legacy investors remain unconvinced about crypto's long-term story. Whether it's wisdom or missed opportunity depends on which side of the Bitcoin debate you land.

Spending 4.5 million on a meal and being advised to quit Bitcoin, this guy is really unlucky. --- The big shot spends so much money just to be dissed; might as well just buy coins. --- Haha, laughing to death, spending money for lessons, legacy investors are still a bit stubborn. --- This is the generation gap, the difference between having so much money that you can't spend it all. --- Is it really worth exchanging 45 million for a "Don't play Bitcoin" message? --- Wake up, everyone. The older generation just can't understand new things. --- Basically, it's still fear—fear of falling behind the times.
