Charlie Bit My Finger….for $760K??

The memorable and meme-able YouTube video "Charlie bit my finger," one of the most viewed videos in the website's history, was sold off as a non-fungible token, or NFT, then deleted from YouTube, according to a website set up by the Davies-Carr family. This brother-on-brother "assault" has been sold as an NFT for the whopping figure of $760,000 — a nice sum that probably made that finger pain worth it!
