Fyre Festival was supposed to be the next big festival, but as you know, nothing went as planned, and the culinary part of the scandal is now being used by the originator of the infamous tweet to fund a good cause.
Trevor DeHaas, who posted the picture, is in need of a kidney transplant. Therefore, he is now auctioning off the image and its rights, including the tweet itself, as a so-called NFT.
NTFs – also known as cryptocurrencies, are unique digital assets that can be bought and retained or resold at a profit. Think of it as digital collectibles.
The auction ends on April 24, and has an estimated price of $80.000 USD.
I'm selling my viral cheese sandwich picture from @fyrefestival as an NFT. Proceeds will be used for medical expenses from my daily dialysis and kidney transplant when it happens. @opensea! #nft#openseahttps://t.co/KktkFNZzuG
Just to clarify a few things:@jarule is not selling the cheese sandwich NFT. I am. @flipkickio which Ja is a partner in, and myself have teamed up to sell the NFT. I do understand why the media is phrasing it as if Ja is selling the NFT but that’s not telling the full story.
