.@jack Dorsey Is Auctioning His First Tweet Ever As An NFT... And It's Now Worth Over $2MM "just setting up my #twttr" - the first ever tweet on the platform is up for sale This “digital memorabilia” comes with an autographed digital certificate, and signed using cryptography with metadata from the original #tweet Users can bid on the item with #Ether, the native token of the #Ethereumblockchain, where the transaction will take place, and #ETH is bid... The current highest offer for the tweet is a stunning $2 million (1304 #Ethereum) Not everyone is so excited, as Jonathan Turley remarks, I admit to being a tech chimp but I fail to see the value of a digital copy of a five word tweet, even with an autographed digital certificate. With an original recording, you have the actual spoke words of someone like Graham Bell saying “Mr Watson, come here. I want to see you.” That would be the first audible message that could be replayed so others would hear exactly how it sounded. This is a digital copy of words that can be replicated in the same exact form. If we are going to sell off digital relics, I would be more interested in memorabilia of #freespeech that once defined #Twitter and other #BigTech companies. That is now the ultimate “non-fungible token” (NFT) on social media. Indeed, #Dorsey’s has added to its scarcity (and market value) with his expanded censorship of opposing viewpoints #QAnon2018 #QAnon2021 #Trump2024 #Trump2021 #TheBestIsYetToCome #PatriotParty #TheMovementWeStartedIsOnlyJustBeginning #StoptheSteal #DemocratsHateAmerica #2020Steal
