That first tweet is now offered for sale via a unique digital certificate (a non-replaceable token or NFT), which guarantees authenticity and determines who owns something on the internet. NFT uses blockchain technology, which is also used, for example, in bitcoin trading.
The founder of the social media platform puts his tweet for sale via the auction site Valuables. The founders of Valuables believe that an online message has the same value as a signature or other memorabilia. “Buying a digital message can be a financial investment. It can have sentimental value (…) The NFT is the signature of the person who created the online content, making it unique and valuable,” it said.
