Who is Ghozali, Who earned $1 million by selling selfies as NFT?

Ground Report | New Delhi: Who is Ghozali Who earned $1 million; A 22-year-old became a trend this week, after generating a wave of people interested in buying his selfies in the form of non-fungible tokens (NFT). 

Who is Ghozali

Ghozali, who is a computer science college student from Indonesia, took a selfie every day from the age of 18 to his current 22 years . The objective of this personal project was to make a video that collected all the photos to remember his growth. Although the idea changed a bit when he decided to sell them as NFTs on the OpenSea platform.

Ghozali, who goes by @Ghozali_Ghozalu on the NFT trading platform OpenSea, took selfies "standing in front of the computer day by day" for five years starting in 2017.

In recent days, a mind-boggling number of those selfies have been sold as NFTs in the "Ghozali Everyday" collection on OpenSea. To purchase a Ghozali selfie as an exclusive digital asset, you would need to spend at least 0.345 of the Ethereum (ETH) cryptocurrency, which is equivalent to US$1,155.

As of the publication of this article, hundreds of Ghozali selfies have been purchased and are in commercial circulation, with total trading volume reaching the equivalent of 293 Ethereum coins, or $986,485.

In case he's thinking of NFTs for his selfies, it's important to note that Ghozali basically caught lightning in a bottle here.

Through his Twitter posts, it is evident that Ghozali never expected his selfies to be worth a million dollars. In a tweet, he said that before he coined his selfies as NFT, his original intention was to use the photos to edit this video:

It's been 3 days and left 331 NFT

You can do anything like flipping or whatever but please don't abuse my photos or my parents will very disappointed to me
