Tim Berners-Lee’s Web Source Code NFT Sells for $5.43 Million at Sotheby’s

[Tamsialu$$]

The NFT, "This Changes Everything," sold to an anonymous buyer. The NFT, titled "This Changes Everything," relates to four items. The first is a collection of time-stamped files containing the source code for HTML, HTTP and URIs—the three fundamental languages and protocols that Berners-Lee wrote in the early 1990s. The others are a silent, half-hour video of someone typing up the code on a black screen; a digital poster of the code signed by Berners-Lee’s; and a letter, dated June 2021, from Berners-Lee that reflects on his experience creating the code.more
