Twitter Boss’ First Tweet Sells For Millions by Wasgibt(m): 2:54pm On Mar 24, 2021
Twitter chief executive Jack Dorsey has sold a digital version of his first tweet for more than $US2.9 million ($A3.8 million) more than two weeks after he announced a digital auction for the post.

The tweet from March 2006, which says “just setting up my twttr,” was bought by Bridge Oracle chief executive Sina Estavi, according to Valuables by Cent, the digital platform where the digital auction for the tweet was held.

The 15-year-old post was sold as a non-fungible token, or NFT – a digital certificate of authenticity that confirms an item is real and one of a kind by recording the details on a blockchain digital ledger.

Mr Dorsey tweeted earlier in March that the proceeds would be converted to bitcoin and given to the non-profit GiveDirectly’s Africa Response.

The charity has been raising money to support African families who were financially impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.

Another fool is going to buy it five times higher than the original cost from this fool who bought it. Sarcasm
But here’s the fact: the tweet became a digital good. So, the buyer bought an autograph.


IF YOU BECOME FAMOUS, AND POWERFUL, YOU COULD SELL YOUR DOT (.) for a billion pounds.

Africans; always timid and unknowledgeable. For somebody to buy it that expensive, it means they have plans on what to do with the tweet. We should stop viewing the world through our limited perception. Planning to hang it on his living room wall is still a use. That we don’t understand the meaning doesn’t grant us the right to castigate the action.
