It seems meme owners are now embracing the Non-fungible tokens (NFT) industry more as a meme dubbed ‘Disaster girl’ just sold for $430,000 in an auction.
Meme Gets Sold For 180 ETH
The Disaster girl meme, which features a four-year-old girl smiling slyly into a camera as a house burns down behind her, sold after it was listed on April 16 for a 24-hour auction.
The 24-hour auction for the NFT yielded nearly $458,000 or 180 ETH (Ethereum) after multiple biddings.

However, seeing various NFTs selling for multi-million dollar price tags has certainly invited a lot of interest in this nascent space. I think we’re still in the very early innings of this speculative mania right now. Accordingly, investors intrigued by the potential in this space may be enticed to dip their toe in today.
