Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales is auctioning off a non-fungible token (NFT) of the first edit ever made on the site.
In a statement released by the auction house, Wales typed the words “Hello, World!” after launching Wikipedia on January 15, 2001, and the moment has been immortalized in an NFT that is being sold by Christie’s.
Now, collectors have a chance to buy the very first entry on what has gone on to become the largest repository of free information on the internet and one of the world’s top 10 most-visited websites, which estimates that the NFT will sell for $100,000-$150,000
Whoever buys the NFT will be able to edit the page however they like, as well as revert it to its original form.
