Back in March 2021, the Non-Fungible Token (NFT) of Twitter founder Jack Dorsey‘s first tweet was sold for a mouthwatering sum of $2.9 million. It was bought by Sina Estavi. This was at the height of the first NFT boom.
Recently, Estavi listed the NFT tweet for $48 million on OpenSea. He tweeted: “I decided to sell this NFT ( the world’s first-ever tweet ) and donate 50% of the proceeds ( $25 million or more ) to the charity @GiveDirectly.”
To this, Jack Dorsey replied, “Why no give 99%”. This is by the way. Unfortunately, Estavi would be more than disappointed as the auction only received seven total bids, with the highest offer being 0.09 ETH, or around $278. Estavi has two days to decide if he wants to accept the bid.
Estavi’s decision to re-auction the NFT was a result of his recent release from prison. He was arrested in Iran in May 2021 for ‘disrupting the economic system’, and wants to rebuild his crypto reputation by starting with a new venture.
