Those kind of domains don't really have any value because of their extension and also they are not CEO friendly like .com , .co , .NET , .ORG etc. ..

The value is in the development options and its a very easy to remember domain.....A lot of non generic domains have value because they can be easy developed and they are easy to remember although you are right that search engines are also a part of value.

I never trust any website with an unusual extension, I only trust websites with the well known .com , .co , .NET, etc extensions. If a domain is too long I view it as suspicious too. Most people probably don't trust unusual domains so you can buy them cheaper, but get less page views if you use them.

What you pay for is what you get. It's free for a reason. I bet most people don't even realize .website is even an extension...

Both HoneybadgerOfMoney.com, and Weed4bitcoin.com have .com extensions which the whole internet community is used to, so I don't think the extensions are too long. HoneybadgerOfMoney is so long it puts me slightly off, but that's only my personal preferences. I'm certain people wouldn't be afraid to click the link because of an unusual extension, the .com in HoneybadgerOfMoney.com is one of the most common extensions on the internet, and nice and concise, unlike .website

I don't think it's worth anything now to be honest, but maybe in the future it can be gain value as any other dictionary or common words. There are plenty of these type of domains available so you didn't discovered anything. That doesn't mean it doesn't have potential value.

.io domains have a different story as I see some of you discussing that "alternative" ones don't have any value, that's one exception.

What are you gonna do with that domain? Hope you make something productive for the community and not just be another scammer wasting the domain's value.

Have you started planning yet?

Good for you.I think you should hold this domain for longer duration and it may become valuable by then.Although with ICANN releasing more and more domain extensions,its not big deal if you get your hand on some generic name for those extensions.

Don't let the naysayers get you down - it's a good domain name!

It may not rank as fast as a .com, but it's a searchable name that you can link to.  Do good SEO on the page and you'll do fine.

I agree with the first part of your comment but I dont think a domain extension has anything to do with the time or duration of getting good search engine ranking.If your content is good and unique,and you do a good on page and off page seo,you can get good ranking as you would normally with a .com domain

It's easy to remember this domain, but i'm not sure if this extension .website is really a Top domain like .com and .net for example. But anyway it can be used to promote Bitcoin services for the people and advertise this crypto currency as well

Not sure if I was a naysayer but to me he take a gamble basically or decided to "invest" into something. A domain has to be renewed for many years even if that doesn't cost very much. I see potential of course but only time will tell really. Personally I wouldn't buy it if I saw it but OP thinks he found gold, that's the only thing that in my opinion didn't make too much sense.

By "free", do you mean as in, no one had claimed it, or "free" as in... money free?

Either way, lucky you. Good job. Hope you make good use of that good domain, don't make it inactive, nor a ponzi Cheesy

.website is also worth and talking about SEO friendly i don't think its extenstion. Lots of think depend on getting indexed in results. I think if you can list down the bitcoin related website in this domain, you will make it worth after 1-2 years with extensive link building.
