“I’m so pleased that we have this opportunity to celebrate the work of Wikipedia’s dedicated volunteers, and I hope that the funds raised can both contribute to furthering that effort and to help support my latest project, WT.Social, a decentralized, non-commercial social network free of advertising, tracking, information harvesting, and misinformation.” “It’s been over twenty years since I first typed in the words “Hello, World!” to launch Wikipedia– and even today, I’m still amazed at the size and breadth of what it has become,” said Jimmy Wales in a statement. It was later stored away in its original box, which will be included with the sale. As the computer grew obsolete, it was relegated to the room of his young daughter, who used it to play video games. The Strawberry iMac was Wales’ personal computer, which he used for development and research at the time of the website’s launch on January 15, 2001, monitoring the site’s early development, guarding against vandals, and marveling at its rapid growth. Christie’s will offer an NFT of the first edit to Wikipedia: “Hello, World!” made by Wales on the day Wikipedia launched, which would be the first in a long line of edits that would produce the “the largest and most-read reference work in history.” Wikipedia NFT preserves the layout of the Wikipedia home page in 2001,and also has a dynamic feature-enabling the owner to edit the page, which can be reset with a timer to revert to its original state.
