However, someone just sold his valuable ENS domain to himself for 100 ETH, around $150,000, due to a “joke” bid that he couldn’t cancel.

The domain name is called stop-doing-fake-bids-its-honestly-lame-my-guy.eth.

After that, he placed a meme “joke” bid of 100 WETH using his main wallet. He wanted the ENS Bids Twitter bot to tweet his bid just to show the hype behind the ENS domain name sold for millions of dollars.

This will be the joke and bag fumble of the century. I deserve all of the jokes and criticism.”
