幾周前在東京開業(yè)的"扭蛋專賣店"占地面積達1256平方米，被吉尼斯世界紀(jì)錄認定為全球最大的扭蛋專賣店。

這家位于池袋太陽城購物中心內(nèi)的扭蛋專賣店設(shè)置有3000臺扭蛋機，是全球擁有最多扭蛋機的地方。

目前日本全國有近40家扭蛋廠商，每月推出的新產(chǎn)品有200多種，但由于每款扭蛋只上市一次，收集者會試圖一次性大量購買。

>First-ever tweet up for sale
推特首條推文上線拍賣
The first post on Twitter, which appeared on its co-founder and current CEO Jack Dorsey's account in 2006, is up for sale as an NFT, a non-fungible token.
2006年，推特聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人兼現(xiàn)任首席執(zhí)行官杰克?多爾西發(fā)布了推特上的第一條推文，目前此條推文正在以NFT代幣(一種市面上不流通的非真實貨幣)形式出售。

Some social media enthusiasts are ready to spend a fortune on it.
一些社交媒體"發(fā)燒友"已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好花大價錢買下它。

和加密貨幣一樣，NFT代幣并非真實貨幣，需要在區(qū)塊鏈上操作，用來顯示對一些其他獨特資產(chǎn)(如藝術(shù)品)的所有權(quán)。
