YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

An NFT owner just lost his entire net worth in the market by accidentally listing his milliondollar NFT Etherrock for less than a cent. Apparently, the owner listed it in the improper cryptocurrency denomination. Cenk Uygur, Adrienne Lawrence, and Rayyvana discuss on The Young Turks. Watch LIVE weekdays 68 pm ET.

"Amid all the hype and furor around blue-chip NFT collections like Bored Ape Yacht Club and CryptoPunks, you may have missed what may be the ultimately absurd status symbol in crypto: Etherrock, a collection of 100 cartoon pet rocks based on free clipart that have sold for millions of dollars.

A few days ago, according to blockchain records, an NFT collector accidentally listed their valuable Etherrock for 444 wei instead of 444 ETH (just over $1 million) and someone snapped it up immediately. To put that in perspective, 1 ETH is equivalent to 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 wei―444 wei is less than a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a penny. It’s worthless.

“In one click my entire net worth of ~$1 million dollars, gone. Is there any hope? Am I GMI? ” a collector, who goes by Dino Dealer, tweeted late Wednesday claiming the rock was theirs and that a bot had "sniped" it. "Can snipers show mercy?"

According to the EtherRock website, the current owner has listed the NFT for 234 ETH, or around $600,000."
