NFT has now become a buzz word with millions of people across the globe trying the service. With bizarre listings such as someone selling farts, or marriage clippings going viral, now a student is 'selling his soul' as NFT via OpenSea.

Wait, what? You read it right! Hague art academy student ​​Stijn van Schaik, 21, listed his soul as a digital work of art, and it is available for purchase on OpenSea. “Hello person, welcome to my profile,” he writes on the listing. “I am selling my soul on here. Feel free to ask me anything about me or my soul while I still own it.”

Stijn, who self proclaims to be “Stinus,” created a website dedicated to this endeavor. According to reports, the listings include:
