Twitter turns 15 years old (as of Mar 21)!

The co-founder and CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey has put the tweet up for auction as an NFT (Non-fungible token) to celebrate the social media platform’s 15 years of existence. 
 
The digital auction is up on a platform where people can make offers on tweets that are autographed by their original creators. 
 
 
As of Sunday afternoon, the bid for this particular tweet was $2.5 million!

We had questions, just like you. So let us explain. No, you’re not buying the actual tweets but you get a digital certificate of the tweet you purchase. Why is it one-of-a-kind? Because… it’s been signed and verified by the creator. 
The proceeds will be converted to Bitcoin to be sent to a charitable organisation for people living in poverty. That’s a good deed! 
 
Happy Birthday Twitter! Good job Jack, and to the successful bidder...congratulations!
