Unfortunately, someone had no idea when he was setting the price of a digital work of art and instead of $ 284,495 he wrote $ 2,844 and so the work was sold for one percent of the real price.

It is about "Bored Ape" NFT (non-fungible token). NFTs are unique units of data stored in a digital book. NFTs transform digital artwork and other collections into unique, verifiable assets that are easy to trade on the blockchain.

The owner of Bored Ape, which is part of a collection of 10,000 pieces of digital art, did not concentrate well and accidentally set the NFT to 0.75 eth ($ 2,844) instead of 75 eth ($ 284,495).

He told CNN that NFT was immediately purchased from an automated account, which later resold it for 59.99 eth ($ 227,558).

However, he only got angry for 5 minutes and then returned to normal life. "I have other things to trade. "It's not a big mistake in general."

"The industry is so young, bad things will happen whether it's your fault or the fault of the technology."
