The best NFT utility to date.
Out of all of the NFT projects with utility, this may just be the best one yet.
(Yep, big call - standing by it).
Buy an NFT → have a beer with Bill Murray.
Here’s what went down:
This week, a 1/1 NFT went up for sale. It was part of Bill Murray’s ‘Bill Murray 1000’ collection; and the only one that included the utility to get a beer with ol' Billy boy.
There were six interested buyers which led to an all-out bidding war.
Eventually the NFT sold for 119.2 ETH (~$185k USD).
...that’s one expensive beer.
Here’re the learnings from what’s otherwise, a pretty funny NFT release:
All proceeds from the sale of Bill’s NFTs go to charity. Another example of NFTs being a funding vehicle for good.
Celebrity reputation sells. We guarantee, a 1/1 ‘Beer With Seb’ NFT would not generate $185k for charity. Celebrities, on the other hand, may be the most consistently successful way to market NFTs to date.
While this is not really the best NFT project utility ever, let’s not forget that blockchain is forever. People will see that, on Wed 31 Aug 2022, Brant Boersma bought a beer with Bill Murray for $185k.
Not the worst legacy to leave behind!
