This DAO Wants to Buy Rare Copy of the U.S. Constitution

One of the only 12 first-edition prints of the U.S. Constitution is set to go up for auction on Thursday and is estimated to be worth between $15 million to $20 million. A decentralized organization called ConstitutionDAO is actively raising funds to bid on the historic document, with at least $3 million raised so far. Should the DAO win the auction, each contributor would fractionally own part of the text and the document would be housed in a yet undetermined museum.
