Twitter CEO and co-founder Jack Dorsey sold his first tweet for $ 2,9 million.
Jack Dorsey donated the proceeds from the tweet made 15 years ago to GiveDirectly's Africa charity.
The tweet, which reads "just setting up my twttr", was purchased as a non-fungible token (NFT), and paid for with ether.
“This is not just a tweet! I think that years later people will realize her real value of this tweet, like the Mona Lisa painting,” Reported the author of the tweet.
NFTs are used to verify unique data. The certificate blockchain-created authenticity is used for artistic digital data (art), or in this case, a tweet.
The Kings of Leon band earlier this month released their latest album as NFT, while actor John Cleese also tried his luck in the world of digital art, selling a picture of the Brooklyn Bridge he made on his iPad.
Nicknamed "The Unnamed Artist", a Monty Python actor has a work of art priced at $ 69.346.250,50. THE current highest bid for Brooklyn Bridge is about $ 33.000.
"Hello! It's time for you to meet my alter ego 'Unnamed Artist'. I am delighted to offer you the opportunity of a lifetime. Selling my 1st NFT. Although the offer starts at 100.00, you can “BUY NOW” for 69.346.250.50! ” reports Cleese in a tweet.
The auction closes in 10 days.
