Twitter President Jack Dorsey, offered the first tweet posted on the platform for sale - which says "Just set up my twttr" - via a website selling tweets as Non-Exchangeable Tokens (NFTs).
The post - sent from Dorsey's account in March 2006 - received offers on Friday totaling $ 88,888 within minutes of the Twitter founder posting a link on Valuables by Cent to sell digital content.The tweet's old offers indicate it was previously offered for sale in December, but the list gained more attention after Dorsey's tweet Friday.
The 15-year-old Dorsey tweet is one of the most popular on the platform, and it can attract bidders to pay a heavy price for the digital souvenirs. The tweet reached its highest bid of $ 2 million on Saturday.
The last offer to buy the tweet was made by cryptocurrency pioneer Justin Sun, who tweeted, "I updated my offer to two million dollars," and as of writing this news, the bid on the tweet reached $ 2.5 million.
Valuables is like buying tweets to buying baseball cards signed by famous players, saying, "There is only a unique signed copy of the tweet, and if the owner agrees to sell, you can own it forever."
The buyer of the tweet will obtain a digital certificate signed, using encryption, which will include the metadata of the original tweet, and the tweet will also continue to appear on the Twitter platform on the web, according to the "Valuables" website.
