Midwest Tungsten Service, a US tungsten processing distributor, reviewed the maximum tungsten mass that it could make and concluded that it weighs 1 ton, technically 907 kg, and is a 37 cm cube. Of course, it is difficult to transport. To be sure, tungsten has as much weight as gold and is as heavy as a small car with a cube about the size of a toaster.
This is where NFTs appeared. Middle Western Tungsten Service decided to keep the tungsten cube in-house, and it was sold at a price of 247,000 dollars by exhibiting the tungsten cube as an NFT as a set of ownership of the cube and the right to come to see the cube once a year.
Tungsten DAO (TungstenDAO) was the winner of the tungsten cubic NFT bid. Tungsten DAO says that they collect assets that they want to do a lot of memes, and create content that reinforces social significance and increases the memetic desire for assets. This is how I became a collector and a creator.
The reason Middle Western Tungsten Service tried to make the largest tungsten was that recently among cryptocurrency enthusiasts, the tungsten cube is somehow popular, so it has great repercussions such as Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok. Obviously, if you search for tungsten cube in Google Trends, the number of searches has increased dramatically in the past month.
It is unknown why tungsten is preferred by cryptocurrency enthusiasts so far, but it is analyzed that the weight of the tungsten cube provides a good contrast with the non-physical properties of cryptocurrencies and NFTs. He also said that it is meaningful in itself to feel the simple weight. Related information can be found here.
