Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has put up his first tweet for sale as an NFT, a nonfungible token. The tweet which reads ’just setting up my twttr’ will be 15 years old later this month. The current bid on the tweet is $363,000. An NFT is a cryptographic token, currently enjoying popularity with artists and musicians across the world, with the digital asset stored on the blockchain.
On the other hand ... why not? It’s not like contemporary art is any better or enduring than a shitty tweet. Large sums of money still get laundered either way.
