21-Year-Old Dutch Student Lists His 'Soul' For Sale As NFT Artwork

If a 22YO Indonesian student fetching millions for selling his ¡®$3 selfie¡¯ NFTs didn't surprise you, then at least this piece of news certainly will!

No matter how bizarre it may sound, a 21-year-old Dutch student of the Hague art academy in the Netherlands has listed his ¡®soul¡¯ for sale as NFT artwork.

The 21YO student named ??Stijn van Schaik reportedly listed his soul as a digital work of art, and it is available for purchase on NFT marketplace OpenSea.

¡°Hello person, welcome to my profile, I am selling my soul on here. Feel free to ask me anything about me or my soul while I still own it¡± he writes on the listing.

The student Stijn, who refers to himself as ¡°Stinus,¡± even created a website dedicated to this endeavour, which contains a contract that, in part, lists permitted uses of the soul.

On his website, he also states that I am a crypto-enthusiast and I am actively looking for ways to not just (try to) profit from cryptocurrency, but give back to the technology as well.

The ¡®Contract¡¯ Regarding His Soul

The contract conditions include, but are not limited to: publicly claiming to be the owner of the soul in question; transferring of the said Soul, in whole or part, to any person or entity, for any reason; sacrificing or offering said Soul, in whole or in part, to any deity or spiritual entity; spending or using the soul, in whole or in part, for some purpose which causes it to diminish in value, quantity, or substance or be subsumed into a larger whole; transferring the burden, credit, or responsibility of any actions reflected in the State of a Soul from another Soul to this Soul or from this Soul to another Soul.

But the contract reportedly explicitly states, ¡°In the event that Stinus¡¯ Soul does not exist as an independent entity outside of the whole ¡°one-ness¡± of reality as commonly described in some belief systems, and in the event that this belief about the nature of reality reflects actual reality, this contract will remain in effect for whatever period of time or non-time and to whatever degree that Stinus¡¯ immaterial essence is distinguishable in any form, manner, or state of being from the sum whole of immaterial or material existence.¡±

The soul is reportedly mined on Polygon, a protocol that can communicate with the Ethereum blockchain.
