One of the famous 2020 memes, the "coffin dance" video was sold as NFT for $1,045,409.

Non-fungible token (NFT) is a type of unique digital asset that has become very popular in 2021.

This dance, performed by a group of pallbearers from Ghana in a ritual they consider a farewell ceremony worthy of the departed, has swept internet popular culture. It was paired with music called "Astronomia" to express the danger of leaving homes during the lockdown and the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020.

The coffin dance is one of the most famous memes that has been circulated by the pioneers of social networking sites in many sarcastic contexts.
