Buying Tweets? NFTs are getting crazier

Hey, rich people! I could use some money and I have about 16,000 tweets I can sell. Anyone?

Here’s me saying something revealing in a language you probably don’t know

Okay, I might be a little flustered after learning that Twitter founder Jack Dorsey’s World’s first tweet (“just setting up my twttr”) was sold for $2.9 million in 2021 to Sina Estavi, a crypto entrepreneur from Iran. During the process, the bidding multiplicated in six times its previous value before closing.

This story comes with a twist: more recently, in 2022, Sina tried reselling the tweet, or better saying, the proof of ownership of it, and bombed. Aiming for $48 million, the bidding went as high as $280, and it stayed there. Apparently he was also arrested, as his company goes through rough waters. I guess I’ll keep my tweets to myself.

Can’t Read My Poker…Profile Pic? NFTs Give Gambling a Go

I’m not a gambler myself, as I’ve had many bad luck moments and I’d rather just not get my money involved in it if I have the choice. It came as a surprise when I found out that NFTs have taken a new step into money-spending: online casinos. I guess there’s something for everybody, right?

NFTs actually can promote gambling in various ways. Online casinos, for instance, promote games on the result of an NFT match. NFTs are also used as rewards for players, sell merch, etc. Apparently it’s a thing.

A Final Word About Minimalist Logos

I’ve been rambling about this topic for a while, but this post will be my final word – for now. I’ve made it very clear that I’m in favor of minimalist logos in my past posts. I like how they can be simple and practical and easily recognizable.

That being said, I believe that the most interesting thing about design is that there’s no blueprint and you can always be creative. Design rules are often broken – and can work really well!

Sometimes being minimalist just doesn’t work for the kind of project you’re working on, or maybe there’s not even a reason to follow a simpler approach. It all comes to having a good idea . Grab it before it vanishes away!
