- carlhancock757 5y agoThat buyer most definitely wasn't some normal middle class person. He was someone well known in the NFT space who also runs an investment fund related to NFT's.

I'm not aware of any crazy NFT auctions that have been purchased by "normal middle class" people. They've all been people heavily involved in crypto. That goes for the losing bidders also. The person who was the second highest bidder in that auction is also heavily involved in the crypto space.
