What’s new? Twitter founder Jack Dorsey’s first tweet, which was sold as a non-fungible token (NFT) for $2,9 million in 2021, lost more than 99,9% of its value. Thus, the minimum price for which a user of the OpenSea NFT marketplace offered to buy the token from the current owner is only $1,34 (0,001 ETH). The offer marked by the marketplace as the best came three days ago and is $1270,11 (0,95 ETH).
What else is known? NFT is a screenshot of Dorsey’s first tweet posted on March 21, 2006. In March 2021, it was bought by Bridge Oracle founder Sina Estavi for $2,9 million. Dorsey donated 99% of the proceeds to charity.
In April, Estavi tried to resell the token for $48,9 million. He also promised to spend 50% of the proceeds on charity and the rest on supporting various blockchain projects.
