Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) are a massive thing of 2021, as they bring a new kind of way to sell artwork or other online media online with a specific token to exchange or price for people to purchase. NFTs are also known as "crypto art" because they are mostly based on cryptocurrency that has a specific value in the online world.

What makes NFT special is that people are willing to exchange a massive amount of other media of the same value for the current works that are readily available to be accessed online and used. The different NFTs that are circulating worldwide are mostly songs, music videos, and other interactive artwork that represents massive importance to its artist.

Some of the expensive NFTs below are outrageously expensive and are massive in their starting bid price that was all posted via the NFT selling platform, Beeple. The modern era has introduced a new way to sell online products without necessarily focusing on their monetary value, but is for sale because of its artistic value with people having the chance to exchange something of the same costs.

Jack Dorsey - First Tweet on Twitter $2.5 Million

One of the most popular NFTs was from Jack Dorsey, who has not yet exactly sold his crypto art, but is already in an auction and has a taker for $2.5 million. This art is iconic because it is the first published tweet on Twitter's platform, and the reason for the sale is to give back to charity, says the Twitter founder and CEO himself.
