Twitter founder Jack Dorsey’s first tweet’s non-fungible token (NFT), which was bought by crypto entrepreneur Sina Estavi for US$2.9 million in Mar 2021, has only received 10.1 ETH (US$30,273) as its highest bid as at April 18.

This means that Estavi stands to lose over 90% of his initial investment in the NFT, which is currently being bid on NFT marketplace OpenSea.

Meanwhile, decentralised platform Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has proposed to build a decentralised social media platform with billionaire Elon Musk if Twitter rejects the latter’s offer.

This comes three years after Belfort previously called crypto a "mass delusion," "frickin' insanity," and "sinking ship" in a YouTube <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uKFfuSI6Ag">video</a> titled "The Bitcoin Market Has Finally Run Out of Greater Fools." Belfort was previously convicted in 1999 for defrauding more than 1,500 individual investors out of US$200 million, before publishing the best selling memoir and becoming a motivational speaker.
