‘Doge’ NFT sells for $4 million

Doggone it — the now iconic picture of a smirking Shiba Inu just became the most expensive meme to sell as a non-fungible token, or NFT.

The dog meme known as “doge” was sold in an auction Friday for approximately $4 million to an unidentified buyer with the Twitter handle @PleasrDAO. The bidder, in an apparent gag, paid for the meme via cryptocurrency Ether — handing over 1,696.9 of the cyber coins.
