God in Everyday : “Indonesian student $1m selfies”
“Just Simply Briliant”
Idea
He intended to use the collection of nearly 1,000 selfies to create a timelapse video for his graduation day.
Inspiration
But after learning about blockchain technology, the 22-year-old decided to upload the photos to NFT trading platform OpenSea under the title "Ghozali Everyday".
Intuition
"I was thinking it might be funny if one of the collectors collected my face," Mr Ghozali told reporters at his university's campus on Thursday.
"I never thought anybody would want to buy the selfies, which is why I only priced them at US$3," he said.
Universe at work
But on Friday one selfie was available for 0.247 of the cryptocurrency ether (US$806) after demand shot up.
Divine hand has a life of its own
"Today (I) sold more than 230+ (selfies) and until now I don't understand why you want to buy #NFT photos of me !!! but i thank you guys for 5 years of effort paid off," he tweeted on Tuesday.
Mr Ghozali, who dreams of opening his own animation studio one day, said he plans to invest the money and will continue to take daily selfies until he finishes college. AFP
