In the Tweet, Matt asked,

The Tweet received thousands of corresponding replies where people expressed their views on .ETH domains. Within 24 hours Matt started to bid on high value domains. Some time later, his Twitter profile bio read “New Yorker Forever 917.eth”. According to sources, he had bid on .ETH domains like 917 and 718 as well.
