ICYMI - First Ever Tweet Turns 15 Years Old

Fifteen years ago Jack Dorsey typed out a banal message -- "just setting up my twttr" -- which became the first ever tweet, launching a global platform that has become a controversial and dominant force in civil society.

The short tweet on March 21, 2006 by the Twitter CEO is now being sold at auction, with bidding reaching $2.5 million.

NFTs use the same blockchain technology behind cryptocurrencies to turn anything from art to sports trading cards into virtual collector's items that cannot be duplicated.


Is that what they call begging the question?

Tweets must follow the same principles as wine, the older the expiration date on the label, the more it's worth. Except for those that don't age well.
