It is said that Benjamin Ahmed is keeping his earnings in the form of Ethereum, the cryptocurrency, in which they were sold. Back to you in the studio, Jess.

Jess: Thanks, Ana. I must admit that I was on the point of buying one of those Weird Whales, not only because I’ve always wanted to have an NFT, but also because I like the concept. Unfortunately, they were sold out already.
