NFT auction

On September 18th 2021 The Economist published a cover story about the promise and perils of decentralised finance, based on a story I had written investigating the potential of a crypto-metaverse, bored apes, and decentralised exchanges. On October 25th 2021 we auctioned off an image of that cover using Foundation, an NFT auction platform. It sold for 99.9 ETH, or around $420,000 at the time.

Here is a record of the nft and the sale.
