First-ever tweet up for sale
推特首條推文上線拍賣
The first post on Twitter, which appeared on its co-founder and current CEO Jack Dorsey's account in 2006, is up for sale as an NFT, a non-fungible token.
2006年,推特聯合創始人兼現任首席執行官傑克·多爾西發佈了推特上的第一條推文,目前此條推文正在以NFT代幣(一種市面上不流通的非真實貨幣)形式出售。
Some social media enthusiasts are ready to spend a fortune on it.
一些社交媒體“發燒友”已經準備好花大價錢買下它。
Dorsey's almost 15-year-old message, "just setting up my twttr", attracted whopping offers after he posted a link to a tweets marketplace called Valuables on March 5.
本月5日,他在推特上分享了一個指向市場平台Valuables的鏈接,在那裏大量買家報價競拍這條將近發佈了15年之久的推文,推文內容為:“剛剛建立我的推特賬號”。
The intense bidding war put the Twitter co-founder's post at $363,000 as of Saturday morning. Offers were rising almost every hour, and had risen to $1.5 million by 3pm GMT and to $2.5 million later on Saturday.
競價戰十分激烈。格林尼治時間6日上午8時左右,這條推文的價格達36.3萬美元,隨後報價幾乎每小時都在上漲,到當天15時,價格已漲到150萬美元。截至當天晚些時候,出價已飆升至250萬美元。
NFTs are a special type of token.
NFT代幣是一種特殊類型的代幣。
Like cryptocurrencies, they operate on a blockchain, but they don't hold money and serve to show ownership of some other unique assets like art.
和加密貨幣一樣,NFT代幣並非真實貨幣,需要在區塊鏈上操作,用來顯示對一些其他獨特資產(如藝術品)的所有權。
