NFT History: Works that have already made history now

Terra Nullius – The First NFT on Ethereum. Terra Nullius is the first NFT on the Ethereum blockchain with a mint date of August 7 2015, making it historic in nature.

The First 5000 Days by Beeple Beeple, aka Mike Winkelmann, sold his work Everydays – The First 5000 Days for an impressive price of $69.3 million. This makes it the highest price paid for an NFT to date. The achievement behind the work is actually quite impressive: it is a collage that Winkelmann assembled into a work of art every day since 2007.

Human One by Beeple Beeple has it out for him, as he can also claim the second-largest sale of an NFT. In 2021, his work Human One went for $29 million to the highest bidder at a Christies auction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIx4D3WSeHY

In early December, it sold for 1,600 ETH through digital collector market SuperRare, which meant about $7.08 million at the time: https://dappradar.com/hub/assets/eth/0x41a322b28d0ff354040e2cbc676f0320d8c8850d/1154
