A $500,000 Twitter Profile Picture

Just recently, a twitter account posted a profile photo worth USD 500,000. It’s set apart from a regular Twitter profile picture by the distinctive hexagon surrounding it.

 

What is the value of a profile photo worth USD 500,000, you ask? This is the answer to your question.

 

For eons, luxury has meant exclusivity, the ownership of collectibles, and the enjoyment of finer things in life — a first-class ticket to New York, a penthouse in Paris, or a brand new Van Cleef & Arpels timepiece.

 

Luxury has now moved into the digital age, and ownership is expressed using NFTs or non-fungible tokens. A NFT, or non-fungible token, denotes ownership over a single piece of digital property such as art, comic books and trading cards. This certificate of ownership is etched onto the blockchain, an indelible series of distributed ledgers that can’t be compromised.

 

NFTs used to be the exclusive domain of pioneers and early adopters. But now they have become mainstream. NFT collectors are rushing to get digital assets. Regular consumers also enjoy NFT art.

 

Inextricably tied to decentralisation of Web 3.0 and the growth of crypto and Decentralised finance (DeFi), is the NFT’s rise and the ownership of distributed assets.

 

NFTs are becoming more mainstream, and social media platforms see this as an opportunity to create new offerings. Twitter is now at the top of the list, giving NFT owners the opportunity to display proudly their purchases.

 

NFT profile photos are distinguishable by using a hexagonal frame instead of a circular. Twitter launched an NFT verification process at the backend. The digital asset can be verified using a linked Ethereum wallet.

 

So popular has this move become that the hashtag, ‘#NewNFTProfilePic” has taken on a life of its own on the platform, as owners proudly display their digital art.

 

There are many options for NFTs, from very affordable to extremely expensive. This display image is unique.

 

It’s called BoredApeYachtClub #575, part of the Bored Ape Yacht ClubCollection of NFT (BAYC). The series is highly sought-after and has been regarded as a sign of exclusivity. Celebrities are lining up to own one, with the star-studded ownership cast including Madonna, Justin Bieber, basketball stars Shaquille O’Neal and Stephan Curry, Jimmy Fallon, and Kevin Hart, to name but a few.

 

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs often sell for hundreds of millions of dollars. Bored Ape #232 was a previously sold profile picture that went viral. It cost 1,080.69 Ether to buy it. This represented a total of $2.82 million. #2261 is the most expensive BAYC ape at 99.99ETH or $313.175.68.
