Jack Dorsey: Bids reach $2.5m for Twitter co-founder's
first post
Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey has ดาวน์โหลด slotxo listed his first ever tweet for sale,
with bids reaching $2.5m (£1.8m).
"Just setting up my twttr," the post, sent from Mr Dorsey's account in March 2006,
reads.
It will be sold as a non-fungible token (NFT) - a unique digital certificate that states
who owns a photo, video or other form of online media.
But the post will remain publicly available on Twitter even after it has been
auctioned off.
The buyer will receive a certificate, digitally signed and verified by Mr Dorsey,
as well as the metadata of the original tweet. The data will include information such
as the time the tweet was posted and its text contents.
Most of this information, however, is already publicly available.
The tweet was listed for sale on 'Valuables by Cent' - a tweets marketplace that
was launched three months ago.
In a post on the site, the platform's founders compare the buying of a tweet to that
of a more traditional autograph or piece of memorabilia.
"Owning any digital content can be a financial investment," it says. "[It can] hold
sentimental value. Like an autograph on a baseball card, the NFT itself is
the creator's autograph on the content, making it scarce, unique, and valuable." |
