On December 3, 1992, Richard Jarvis sent the world's first Short Message Service (SMS) or text message at a Christmas party. Last year a unique digital copy of this landmark message—reading "Merry Christmas"—was minted as a non-fungible token or NFT. It was sold as a charity lot for $107,000 Euros, about $114,000 today. But this NFT had to be paid for in ethereum which today would be worth only about $37,000. So buyer beware, as always, but also seller beware.
