The offer to buy the first tweet in history, published by the founder of Twitter, reached an astronomical amount.
Fifteen years ago, the founder of the social network Twitter published the first tweet, according to the Associated Press. Bids for the tweet, which was recently auctioned off by Twitter’s manager, have now reached a staggering $ 2.5 million.
“Just setting up my, Twitter,” wrote Jack Dorsey, Twitter CEO and founder, on his Twitter account on March 21, 2006, marking the first tweet in the social network’s history.
The Dorsey tweet auction ended late Sunday, and he said he would donate the money to charity.
There is only one unique and signed version of this tweet, which makes it impossible for virtual collectors to forge it using the same technology in cryptocurrencies called “Enafati”.
Less than three months ago, Twitter announced in a statement contrary to the principle of the free flow of information that it would block the personal account of then-US President Donald Trump; A controversial decision that provoked mixed reactions.
The move came after a number of pro-Donald Trump pro-violence activists stormed the main hall of the US Congress on January 6, killing five people.
Donald Trump had more than 88 million followers on Twitter.
