"This is not just a tweet!" Estavi wrote on Twitter.
"I think in many years people will realize the true value of this tweet, just like the Mona Lisa painting."
Dorsey said he would donate the proceeds from the auction to charity.
Social media experts predict that auctions of "Twitter" and other online posts will become more popular.
On the other hand, the analysis pointed out that the auction of Dorsey's tweets highlighted the surge of interest in non-homogeneous tokens.
