Early Bitcoin investor Greg Schoen is selling his legendary tweet, NFT, in which he regrets taking profits too soon, on OpenSea.
Schoen said that although he was surprised that his tweet was wanted to be bought, he received a lot of advice about converting the tweet to NFT.
Last year, former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson auctioned off their tweets as NFT.
Schoen tweeted that in May 2011, he bought 1,700 Bitcoins for $102 and sold them for $0.30, thus missing a substantial revenue. Schoen also emphasized that the value of Bitcoin at that time was $ 8 .
If Schoen’s Bitcoins had not been put up for sale, he would have had $68 million in cash.
Schoen’s story serves as a lesson to Bitcoin users who question the importance of HODL.
Schoen also said that when Bitcoin approached the $20,000 level in December 2017, he had already run out of assets. However, he later stated that he had some more Bitcoins but sold them for $15,000 to pay off a loan in September 2018.
