A loosely-organized group of crypto investors is raising money from people on the internet to buy a copy of the U.S. Constitution when it goes up for auction on Thursday at Sotheby’s.

Operating under the name ConstitutionDAO, the group is asking like-minded people to donate to their seemingly quixotic project using essentially the crypto equivalent of crowdfunding. Participants donate Ethereum though Juicebox.money, a platform for community owned Ethereum-based projects.
