This guy sold the first NFT for MILLIONS before NFTs even existed.


Four months before anyone bought pizza with Bitcoin, a BitcoinTalk user named Sabunir posted "I want to see if I can make $1 from selling a picture."
500 BTC for a computer generated wallpaper.
At this time that was roughly a dollar.
Satoshi Nakamoto personally replied to the thread, explaining how the payment should work.
Nobody bought it.
One user said "I don't want to buy the wallpaper for the same reasons I don't want to buy wallpapers for real money."
A month later, 500 BTC was sent to Sabunir's wallet anyway.
Nobody knows if it was the sale or a donation.
Sabunir never came back to confirm.
Today that same picture would be worth $34.1 MILLION.
The image link is now dead.
Just like almost every NFT from 2021.
