One of Pakistan’s most shared memes has now found a buyer. The ‘Friendship ended with Mudasir’ was the subcontinent's most viral meme and has now been auctioned off as a Non-Fungible Token for $51,530 (roughly Rs 38,273,13). The NFTs are becoming a thing like cryptocurrency, it is not interchangeable, but it is still a digital asset. NFTs gives an exclusive right of a digital asset to a person. However, that doesn’t mean that the asset cannot be duplicated but the rights to own it remain with the person who buys it. The friendship breakup meme from Pakistan was originally a photoshopped graphic by a Gujranwala-based man Asif Raza Rana in 2015. Rana had announced his break-up with Mudasir Ismail Ahmad over alleged selfishness, pride and attitude shown by Ahmad. Not only did he announce his break-up with Ahmad, Rana also declared that he has found a new best friend in Salman Ahmad Naqash. The image reads, “Now Salman is my best friend.” While Rana might be grievously hurt with his best friend, his rather public declaration kicked up a meme fest on the Internet on social media.
