Unfortunately, someone had no idea when he was setting the price of a digital work of art and instead of $ 284,495 he wrote $ 2,844 and so the work was sold for one percent of the real price.
It is about "Bored Ape" NFT (non-fungible token). NFTs are unique units of data stored in a digital book. NFTs transform digital artwork and other collections into unique, verifiable assets that are easy to trade on the blockchain.
The owner of Bored Ape, which is part of a collection of 10,000 pieces of digital art, did not concentrate well and accidentally set the NFT to 0.75 eth ($ 2,844) instead of 75 eth ($ 284,495).
He told CNN that NFT was immediately purchased from an automated account, which later resold it for 59.99 eth ($ 227,558).
However, he only got angry for 5 minutes and then returned to normal life. "I have other things to trade. "It's not a big mistake in general."
"The industry is so young, bad things will happen whether it's your fault or the fault of the technology."
Virtual art has received attention recently thanks to the support of well-known names like Elon Musk, Lindsay Lohan, Steve Aoki etc.
