Following the boom ofNFTsin the market, an Iranian crypto investor bought the world’s first tweet, made by Twitter founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey back in 2006, as an NFT for $2.9 million last year.

$2.9 Million First Tweet NFT Receives Highest Bid of $280!

Earlier this month, Estavi took to Twitter to announce his wish tosell the $2.9 million first-tweet NFT for an extravagant price of 14,969 ETH or around $48 million. He listed the NFT on OpenSea and pledged to donate 50% of the price, which he expected to cross the $25 million mark, to charity. You can check out the tweet attached right below.

However, embarrassingly enough,the top bid for the $48 million NFT only reached around $280. Wondering what happened to the value of the NFT in one year? While Estavi says“no one knows”why the bids came in so low, Mitch Lacsamana, the Head of Marketing for an NFT trading group, says that the said NFT-tweet does not have any purpose or utility other than having a historic significance.

“What is the utility of that NFT? Does Jack Dorsey take you out to dinner in Silicon Valley? What is the real value proposition here? I think time has probably told us, and it’s probably nothing,”Lacsamana said in a statement.“The market isn’t ready to jump into literally anything that a celebrity or someone of high stature might release,”the NFT collectortoldForbes.“I think last year was a really good time for that, but a lot of people have grown weary of cash-grab tactics,”he further added.

As of writing this article,the highest bid for Estavi’s NFT-tweet stands at 4.76 ETH, which is slightly above $14,000. The said NFT is a part of the “Tweets” collection on OpenSea and has been minted on the Polygon blockchain. So, if you are interested in making an offer for it,check it out on OpenSea.
