NFTs To Opensea: An Indonesian Child Who Earned $1 Million By Selling Nft Selfies On The Opensea Platform

 An Indonesian college student reportedly gained a million dollars by selling NFT versions of his selfies on the OpenSea NFT marketplace. Sultan Gustaf Al Ghozali, a 22-year-old Indonesian computer science student, transformed and sold around 1,000 selfie images as NFTs. Ghozali claims he photographed himself for five years, between the ages of 18 and 22, to document his graduation journey.

Ghozali took selfies while sitting or standing in front of his computer, and they were eventually turned into NFTs and uploaded in December 2021. Despite the fact that he did not anticipate any purchasers, the artist set the price for each NFT selfie at $3. "You can do whatever you want with my photos, such as flipping them or whatever, but please don't misuse them," Ghozali remarked while marketing his expressionless photographs. Please take care of my images since I trust you."

Ghozali's NFT sale surpassed his wildest hopes, with notable members of Crypto Twitter demonstrating their support by purchasing and promoting the coins.

According to the expanding popularity, one of Ghozali's NFTs was sold for 0.247 Ethereum (ETH) on January 14, valued at $806 at the time of acquisition. The young entrepreneur additionally personalizes the selfies by providing additional background information, increasing the NFT's uniqueness.

According to a Lifestyle Asia report, Ghozali's selfie NFTs peaked at 0.9 ETH ($3,000). Ghozali's collection eventually reached a total transaction volume of 317 Ethereum, worth more than $1 million. Through OpenSea, the young entrepreneur also made his first payment.
