The Picture of Vitalik Buterin as Mona Lisa sells for $5 million
Last year, it was reported that a certain millionaire from the United States was ready to purchase the Mona Lisa cryptocurrency autographed by Vitalik Buterin for $6 million, but the organizers of the conference at which she was first exposed rejected this offer. Investy, in turn, is ready to offer the millionaire a more profitable option — a picture of Vitalik Buterin as Mona Lisa for $5 million. The proceeds from the sale will be raffled among the users of the Investy platform.
The video, of which Vitalik Buterin, the creator of Ethereum, is presented as a sad Mona Lisa, the famous painting of Leonardo Da Vinci, appeared in the social media advertisement ‘Take Care of Traders’ in December 2018.
The company ‘Investy’ was behind the advertisement, a platform for crypto-traders with the ability to copy the transactions of other users and take part in TradeBattle competitions.
The video quickly became popular among the crypto community and in 2 weeks collected 500,000 views on youtube.
Last year, we learned from news resources that an anonymous US citizen wanted to buy the ‘Blockchain-Mona Lisa’ for $ 6 million, but his proposal was rejected. But now our company has its own ‘Buterin-Mona Lisa’, says Investy. After all, he became one of the heroes of the video, which has already been viewed more than 500,000 times. We are sorry to part with it, she has already become a member of our team, but we are ready to sell it for $5 million for our TradeBattle.
Investy representatives say they are willing to sell the picture cheaper because there is no autograph of Buterin on it. However, as a gift to the canvas, they are ready to give another prop from a series of videos in support of crypto traders — the photo by Satoshi Nakamoto, autographed by the creator of Bitcoin. Organizers immediately warned that it is most likely not real.
