“World’s first text” auctioned in Paris for more than $120k

The first text message ever sent has been sold at a Paris auction for the equivalent of $120,599.70 in Canadian funds. Of course, “the first text message” isn’t quite as tangible as an old painting, for example, so the digital world has created something called a non-fungible token that is said to guarantee that no one can copy your rare treasure. Or so they say.
