A few days ago, we published here about the world's first tweet to go up for auction, where it was sold for non-fungible tokens, known as NFTs. Now, the photo of the famous meme from the beginning of the decade, Bad Luck Brian was sold at an auction on an app.
Brian, for those who don't remember:
These NFT tokens do not have a physical representation, but rather a virtual one, and their value is given by the universal trust attributed to the internet. This term refers to a certification guaranteeing the authenticity of works and pieces, with the aim of guaranteeing security in the trade of internet content (including images, animated GIFs, videos, music or video games).
Damn Brian. 🍀 @solidbadluck

In 2012, the Bad Luck Brian meme became famous after Kyle's yearbook photo was leaked online. On March 09, the photo was officially sold at an auction on the platform. Foundation, for the equivalent price of US$ 36 thousand (around R$ 200 thousand) as a digital work of art.
Several famous art and memes have already been sold on this type of online marketplace. The buyer of the Bad Luck Brian photo had his name identified, so to speak, as @a. This photo will have a digital signature or proof of ownership of the buyer for identification.
Memes like Grumpy Cat and Scumbag Steve have already been put up for auction at the request of their original creators, with a large number of interested parties. It is worth mentioning that, last month, the Nyan Cat meme was also sold for NFTs on the meme market, reaching an incredible US$ 600 thousand (more than R$ 3 million).
