NFT: The first-ever tweet is selling for $2.5 Million
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are becoming increasingly popular in the cryptocurrency space, and we are finding new ways to use them. Artists and content creators are now using NFTs to ensure their work remains unique and gets paid adequately.
Dorsey’s first tweet attracts a $2.5 million bid
The first-ever tweet was sent by Twitter founder and CEO Jack Dorsey. The CEO made the tweet available as an NFT a few weeks ago, and it attracted multiple bids, with the auction ending yesterday. Following the end of the auction period, the top bid for the NFT was $2.5 million.The first tweet by Dorsey reads “just setting up my twttr,” and it was posted on Marcy 21, 2006. Earlier this month, Dorsey announced that the tokenized version of the tweet was available on the non-fungible token (NFT) platform Valuables.
The tweet was minted in December last year, and Dorsey making it available as an NFT sparked a bidding war amongst the interested party. The most exciting bidding war was from Sina Estavi, the CEO of Malaysia-based Bridge Oracle and Justin Sun, founder of Tron and the CEO of BitTorrent.
Donating Proceeds
Estavi edged out Sun in the war after bidding $2.5 million for the NFT. His offer was the highest and has been since he made it on March 6. Most people were skeptical that Dorsey would sell the NFT. However, he tweeted on March 9 that the auction would end on March 21 and accept the winning bid.Ending this March 21st
Will immediately convert proceeds to #Bitcoin
And send to @GiveDirectly Africa Response

Dorsey doesn’t intend to hold on to the money as he is donating it to GiveDirectly, a non-profit organization that provides direct cash transfers to low-income people. His Africa response signifies that the funds could go to the Covid-19 Africa Response campaign.
NFT Pros & Cons
NFTs have made it easier for people to tokenize a wide range of things. By tokenizing art and other content, artists have a way of claiming ownership and collect compensation for their digital works.NFTs signify ownership, but in the case of tweets, we must ask ourselves: "What happens if Jack simply deletes the tweet after the sale?"

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
