Thanks for sharing

There has been no drop. $500, 600, 700, 800, 900 1000, etc. was abnormal exchange rates. The last stable exchange rate was between $45 and $125. There have been a price increase

I have bought a few too...have a couple that seem good and trying to figure out the best way to list them and trying to figure out an approximate market price.

One of the hard things about buying bitcoin domain names is that they can end in anything (.com, .info, .io, .org)

[2good2betrue]

I have bought up a couple myself, but I am always weighing it against buying some bitcoin. Sometimes when I think of a really good domain name and then it turns out to be taken, I am kind of happy because I don't feel the pressure to buy it.

I bought www.mtsig.com last week and I was pretty happy about that, I think as long as I use them for something they are worth it.

As somebody who invested six figures in domain names over the last decade: just buy bitcoins. The need for a great domain name (and thus the demand for them) is rapidly declining and will only get worse as the internet moves to mobile apps and platforms instead of individual websites. Ya if you could go back in time to 2008 and register a bunch of bitcoin related domains it'd be nice but short of that, people are just wasting their money.

This is a fact
The big money is .com
So end user term worth 1m retail
100k to 200k wholesale

Net 10-30% com
Org 10%
Us 10%
Co.uk 10%
.ca 10%

The rest are bs

If you correctly develop a key word it will be #1 on se's

Being #1 on an industry term gives you millions of dollar in exposure compared to buying ppc

This is why Im asking questions about bitcoin

Since the big plays will be domain acquisition now

You want an empire in bitcoin

It will come from the control of btc keywords

The companies that started big in btc will be replaced with keywords

Example

Blockchain just leased bitcoin.com

Residual income play

Only 5 years

So the smart domain players are now pro bitcoin

So big innvestments in btc domains coming

Btc will be branded if it exists in future

Branded and regulated

[WhatTheGox]

ICANN just saturated the market with a bunch of alt domains

[Bitcoinfraud]

Websites irrelevant?

You need a com n an app to do biz today

Thats why blockchain now renting bitcoin.com

Next superbowl you will see bitcoin branding

Most of the ads gonna b bitcoin startups

[12inchdick]

bitcoins.com is on sale right now. This domain used to be operated by Mt.Gox guys, right? There used to be an informational website.

correct

Alt not com
Since beginning of net u had alt doms
edu i used since 70s math thinktank
Com now king
Net
Org
Gov

All alts

Country tlds alt doms

The new ones not worth much since com entrenched

Se's will ignore them so no free organic seo ride

Anyone putting millions into branding anything but a com
Most users hear or see ad u say
Keyword co or org or whatever over 50% remember keyword type in com

So com is what u brand

As btc becomes an industry the com keywords will be the operators

Btc is just the currency

Fast money in currency

Empires in domain development

Yeah exactly, I don't really get the 'drop in value' or 'comes back from the dead' or similar headlines. Bitcoin is still up almost 1000% from last year's value and yet media reports keep on ranting. At least the media coverage seems to get better now!

Agree, btc is like fast moving net bubble stock.

Peaks and valley

Peaks are speculation

Valleys are floors of real financial support

There's support around $600 now due to big time money now involved in btc

That's why NY is ahead of the curve with regulation, big money is based in NY and they want to legitimze btc so they can control it

BTC is moving into mainstream and the floor of support is now 600 bucks or so which is a huge gain from a year ago.

So yeah, btc is now down, we're just in the valley of the most recent growth bubble which is keying off of user base.
