To bid for the digital version, people will have to purchase using Ethereum (ETH), and on the other hand, the physical one can be bought using U.S. dollars and crypto.
FollowApple CEO Steve Jobs' job application from 1973 will be under auction again but it will be different this time. A London-based entrepreneur, Olly Joshi, is testing a showdown between physical and digital applications and is considered to be the world's first auction. To bid for the digital version, people will have to purchase using Ethereum (ETH), and on the other hand, the physical one can be bought using U.S. dollars and crypto.Â
The one-page application was prepared after Jobs dropped out of Reed College, and three years before he co-founded Apple with Steve Wozniak in 1976. However, the application has no indication of the job role and what company Jobs was applying for.
The job application of Steve had gone up for auction several times before, it was once selling for $18,750 in 2017, in 2018 for $174,757, and in March 2021 for a reported $222,400. In addition, people have bid thousands of dollars for a magazine he signed and also even for a bathrobe and an electric razor. Jobs leather jacket was sold for $22,400 in 2016.
According to media reports, the auction format is designed to highlight the “modern shift in perceived value" in light of the NFT boom. The bidding has already started on July 21 and will close at 5 pm ET on July 28.
