I want to preface this by saying that the current bid to buy the first tweet ever is up to the pretty penny of $2.5 million dollars *insert Austin Powers Dr. Evil meme*.
Good ole’ Jack Dorsey’s first ever tweet is on track to sell for $2.5 million doll hairs as a Non-Fungible Token. As of Wednesday night 19:05 CST, the highest offer is from Sina Estavi, CEO of Bridge Oracle, for $2.5 million, according to the website. Still interested? Keep reading, it gets better.
The Twitter CEO shared a link Friday afternoon to a platform called “Valuables” which apparently is used as a platform to buy and sell tweets. I had no clue what it was and I bet you didn’t either. Calm down cancel culture vulture, I did not mean to insult your intelligence, I genuinely had no clue what it was until this story.
The tweet up for sale comes from the first ever tweet from the man himself:
The tweets auction comes amid a surge in popularity of crypto collectibles. The very nature of NFT’s are not as tangible as one may think. Ownership of these types of assets are recorded on a block chain — a digital ledger of sorts similar to the infrastructure that underpin bitcoin and other cryptocurrency. You can’t exchange one NFT for another as you would with the dollar or other more tangible assets. Each NFT is unique in design and acts as a collectors item impossible to duplicate, making them rare by design.
The part where it gets better has arrived. Dorsey says that all profits of this sale will go to charity. The auction is slated to end March 21, when he will immediately convert the proceeds to bitcoin and donate that to Give Directly’s Africa Response Fund. Change your mind yet? Head on over to Valuables to place your bid there, Mr. Money Bag$$.
