Wow!  I find it hard to imagine that will pay off.  Why not just invest the $250,000 in bitcoin instead?

Because most finance entrepreneurs don't give a flying fuck about Bitcion.  They're just trying to make money off the latest fad.  Therefor their stupidity kicks in, and they treat this like any other startup.  Even if that means blowing $250k on a domain name.  Their trust is in the "Business Plan" and their own ability to grow a business.  Bitcoin is just a tool for most of them.  No awareness of investing in Bitcoin instead, and sitting on 200 million in 10 years.   To them the thought of that happening is absurd.  

Why you mad bro?

Let's get some facts straight. This domain wasn't purchased for giggles. The dreaded "finance entrepreneur" likely purchased this to build a killer wallet for us all. How could anyone argue that this is bad? Sure, the person dishing out the $$$ probably doesn't understand Bitcoin fundamentals like some of us do, nor will they be spending sleepless nights in front of a screen coding the app, but thats not their job.

How exactly do you expect Bitcoin to reach these monumental heights you speak of, if no one builds it?

It sounds like you already think long-term, big picture, about the price of bitcoin. Try applying that same logic to the infrastructure  

Infrastructure is important. There are some great coders here, and they will be even greater if they step away from their computer and go outside. Watch and talk with people.

I can see so many people making their replies here and trying to sell their domains.
Why don't you make a new thread in auction or digital goods?

It's the "My" that is costing you over $246k, no joking there. It is funny what one little letter or word does to value, like a decimal place or 10

For example...

sex.com $XX million
mysex.com $X,XXX thousand

One-word domains and two-word domains are very different in market price.

You guys simply don't understand the billion dollar domain name industry...

110,000 people PER MONTH are typing in "Bitcoin Wallet" in to Google alone, not to mention how many people type in "BitcoinWallet.com" directly in their address bar. The current Pay-Per-Click suggested bid for one click is $1.60 and the competition is picking up, fast.

It is very difficult to have an intelligent conversation about Bitcoin without mentioning "Bitcoin Wallet".

I predicted this exactly, many months ago actually.

With nearly a decade of experience and more than $100 million worth of media as consultant, broker, developer, or licensor, I am fully qualified to tell you that $250k was not "expensive" but rather a very savvy investment to gain a timeless and global competitive advantage in the marketplace.

The sale is real.

In the next few weeks you will see media publications writing stories about this sale.

Every single "Bitcoin Wallet" company on the planet is competing with their website title tags, H1/h2 headers, meta data, and search marketing details (SEO/SEM) for the generic branding "Bitcoin Wallet". That is an undeniable and absolute FACT.

Here is some free education for you guys. And so, point being, the domain name was actually sold too cheap.
