Jack Dorsey’s very first tweet is being sold as an NFT, non-fungible token, and the current highest bid is a whopping $ 2.5 million dollars.
Dorsey’s March 21, 2006 tweet, a simple five-word line that reads ‘just setting up my twttr’, was presented on a platform called Valuables. Originally, the bid for the tweet started at $ 80,000 dollars, which was later taken over by tech entrepreneur Justin Sun for $ 2 million dollars. The highest bid now comes from Sina Estavi, CEO of Bridge Oracle. For those who are not yet familiar with NFTs, it is basically the ownership of the original code for the virtual item, and you can not exchange it for other NFTs. In the case of this tweet, buying the NFT will be like getting a certificate stating that you are the owner of the original tweet. This tweet will be available online as long as Dorsey or Twitter prefers to continue it.
