In Brief:

- In this project, users were allied to stake their claim on the blockchain
- Some Crypto intellectuals assert that this NFT project is just a message storing facility on the blockchain
Crypto archaeologist Wilt Chamberlain has revealed a “new” oldest NFT, Terra Nullius. It was launched on August 7, 2015, as per the source.
NFT Archaeologist Adam McBride has published an article, in which research shows that the project allows its users to stake their ‘claim’ on the blockchain. This means that when users claim their stake, they can easily customize the NFT, even users could easily write a message.
There are some other cryptos users who are condemning this claim and they are in doubt about whether these NFTs are real or not. They add that it is just a message storing facility on the blockchain. It allows users to store one message many times, which makes it fungible. The only reason to make these NFTs non-fungible is that these NFTs are wrapped in a contract.
In 2015, 22 NFTs were minted. Currently, the team behind the project created the wrapper to take NFTs on Opensea for sale. A few hours ago dev minted an additional 23, in addition to this Wilt Chamberlain and Adam McBride have minted two more NFTs.
In just one hour after McBride released his article, all 4000 NFTs have been claimed and now no longer possible to mint off of the contract.
Because of the customized NFT, many crypto lovers have recorded their opinions on the blockchain forever. Some of which include the likes of “Beanie Rugged Me,” “Bob Marley for President,” “Cheers to NFT,” and more.
