Unbelievable! Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s first tweet sold for a whopping Rs 18 crore

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s first tweet has fetched $2.4 million (a little over Rs 18 crore) in the auction, which the billionaire would donate in Bitcoins to a charity.

The bid for a 15-year-old tweet on March 6, 2006 (saying `just setting up my twttr`) put up for auction as an NFT (non-fungible token) on a platform called Valuables has reportedly been won by Sina Estavi, CEO of tech company Bridge Oracle.

Dorsey had said in an earlier tweet: "Ending this March 21st. Will immediately convert proceeds to #Bitcoin. And send it to @GiveDirectly Africa Response".

NFT is a digital good on the Ethereum blockchain which allows people to buy and sell ownership of unique digital items and keep track of who owns them using the blockchain.

According to Valuables, "What you are purchasing is a digital certificate of the tweet, unique because it has been signed and verified by the creator".

The artist Grimes recently sold several NFT items for nearly $6 million. An NFT of LeBron James making a historic dunk for the Lakers garnered more than $200,000.

On March 11, an NFT of a work by digital artist Mike Winkelmann sold for $69 million at Christie's, making him "among the top three most valuable living artists".

Non-fungible means you can`t exchange it for another thing of equal value.
