PixelPirate: Own a Piece of the Original NFT, the MillionDollarHomepage
It’s not too late to steal a piece of Internet history!
The MillionDollarHomepage… the stuff of Internet legend.
According to Wikipedia, “The Million Dollar Homepage is a website conceived in 2005 by Alex Tew, a student from Wiltshire, England, to raise money for his university education. The home page consisted of a million pixels arranged in a 1000 × 1000 pixel grid; the image-based links on it were sold for $1 per pixel in 10 × 10 blocks. The purchasers of these pixel blocks provided tiny images to be displayed on them, a URL to which the images were linked, and a slogan to be displayed when hovering a cursor over the link. The aim of the website was to sell all of the pixels in the image, thus generating a million dollars of income for the creator.”
Amazingly, Alex Tew wasn’t a one hit wonder — he went on to found Calm, a meditation app. Pretty remarkable.
Even more remarkable: the MillionDollarHomepage is still online, still receives thousands of page views a day.
