1. Someone’s soul
Are you in the market to purchase someone’s soul? Well lucky for you, someone has listed their soul for sale as an NFT. 21-year-old Hague art student Stijn van Schaik has listed his soul for sale on OpenSea, an NFT marketplace. According to his website advertising the sale, there are some stipulations. You can read those in the Sale of Soul Agreement PDF document. Even if you don’t think this is one of the weirdest NFTs, it’s one of the most creative.
2. Jack Dorsey’s first tweet
Yes, apparently, tweets are for sale now. And what better tweet to buy than the first one? Jack Dorsey tweeted on March 21st, 2006, “just setting up my twttr.” The NFT sold to the highest bidder for approximately $2.8 million. Dorsey will donate the money to GiveDirectly, an organization using cryptocurrency to fight poverty in East Africa. You might not think this belongs on a list of the weirdest NFTs, but remember, people can access the tweet for free. If nothing else, Dorsey’s tweet is a fun example of how NFTs build on the internet’s unique history.
