It already is.

‘Jack Dorsey’s First Tweet’ NFT Went on Sale for $48M. It Ended With a Top Bid of Just $280.

I'm actually shocked someone would pay $280 for it.

This is beautiful.

its the web3 equivalent of an antique that failed to sell on ebay. interesting, but it's easy to draw wrong conclusions like "nfts are dead". market size and volume tell a different story.

Oh I'm very aware that it doesn't tell the whole story. I think that some guy who thought he would strike it huge by buying Jack Dorsay's tweet in NFT form then resell it multifold while donate half the profits to a charity then realizing he way overpaid for it feels like a good story to me on it's own. It's a great analogy for the market but probably not accurate on the whole.

right, can't imagine whats going through their mind right now.

he could have gotten a reasonable price (though perhaps still a loss) if he tried to list with sotheby. curation matters.

The most shocking part is that there is someone who was willing to pay $280 for it.
