🧑🍳 The CryptoPunk That Was Accidentally Sold for $0.01
In 2021, a CryptoPunk NFT — one of the rarest and most iconic digital collectibles on Ethereum — was mistakenly listed for just 1 cent (0.01 USD). The seller intended to price it at 100 ETH (then around $300,000), but due to a fat-finger error, it was instantly snapped up by a bot.
💸 The buyer paid gas fees of over $30,000 to ensure they secured the deal first, knowing how valuable the Punk was.
⏱️ The transaction was irreversible. Within seconds, the NFT was flipped for over $500,000 — a profit made in less than 10 minutes.
🤯 The story went viral and became a legendary example of how one single typo in Web3 can cost someone a fortune.
📢 The lesson? Always double-check before clicking “List for Sale” — especially when it’s a half-million dollar pixel face.
