The digital certificate was purchased in an auction by Sina Estavi, a Malaysia-based entrepreneur.
- Sina said;
- 'People will realise the true value of the purchase years later, ‘like the Mona Lisa painting’
The tweet, posted by Jack Dorsey on March 21, 2006, reads: "just setting up my twttr" – is in the form of a non-fungible token (NFT), a kind of unique digital asset that has recently exploded in popularity.
Jack Dorsey said the funds raised from the sale of his first ever tweet are being donated to a charity supporting the coronavirus response in Africa, minus a 5% processing fee going to the auctioning platform.
Mr Estavi said he was glad the money was being donated to charity.
