Bitcoin Domain for 5000 $ !!!!!

[apoorvlathey]

I was just surfing the net and looked up for domains starting with bitcoin and i found this huge difference between the .com,.info, .biz and .ga and .gq
They were being sold for a massive 5000 Dollars !!!  Take a look below :

[~Bitcoin~]

never gone through any of those ga or gq tld or never seen them. It is always high priced like if you search for bitcoin.xyz or facebook.xyz both will cost you 5000$ but for othername.xyz it cost less than 1$. From this it is sure that bitcoin niche is similar to facebook niche. Good for bitcoin

Each country has different rules for its domain name, some are really expensive to have, usually the worse the country is the more expensive country code domain gets.

[dinda22]

although the price was $10 for domain bitcoin.ga I still was not interested. yeah I am more interested in using the domain com.

[Betwrong]

Wait, but were they actually sold for that price? I seriously doubt that. You can announce any price you want but the question is who will buy for that price. I'm surprized they didn't set the price to $50k or $500k

Basically these people are just sitting with their hopes on that someday somebody will actually buy their domains.Fact is,these domain are not really needed for a stable business to run nice niche traffic .There are lot of examples as such.All the domians with bitcasino or bitcoincasino are booked and being resold,fact is,a lot of other gambling websites with no bit or gamble in their names are doing quite well.SEO is all that matters.

Wow, It would be a waste if someone actually pays for .gq or .gq extension for $5000, even if it's for bitcoin domain itself. Their not attractive and professional since most known brands use either of (.com / .net / .org / .info) only and all these new extension (there are few others that are pricey as well) are pretty much nonsense.

Correct, those are not actual sale prices, but the asking prices of domain "investors" who are trying to resell.

Does the average internet user really give a shit about the last 2-3 letters of the website they're visiting? As long as it turns up on google and chrome don't send me away from it then I'm game to give it a visit. The whole domain fetish world lives in another dimension.

[JeffZwolle]

Can't even pay in Bitcoins ?
 

[SuperCoinGuy]

These prices seem hugely inflated to me. And what countries are these domain extensions from or they have run out of ideas and just adding random ones now?

Oh yes, the prices are hugely inflated. It's just because they're trying to make easy money with an obscure domain with a popular internet item.

I think they're adding new domain extensions now, I can't think of any country that would have those domains.

[DimensionZ]

So someone has bought these obscure TLD's and now they are reselling them for $5000 a pop. There must be some really gullible people that would fall for this or else they won't be doing such a stunt 

[nanonymousx]

If bitcoin can take off, will have btc or bitcoin become a TLD.
Like free.bitcoin, or earn.bitcoin, or pizza.bitcoin, exchange.bitcoin...

i agree. i also find these buying and selling of domains a little strange.
it doesn't matter if it is called bitcoin.com or myNewBitcoinDomain.com if the website is interesting to me i will bookmark it and use it that way.
besides when you search about something the search engine is not providing you results by looking at the domain name, it can be about bitcoin with domain name called blahBlah.biz

[avikz]

It's always better to buy a .com domain instead of buying a free TLD like these pricey domains. most of the search engines, specially Google, still don't think they are good and hence you can't expect mush of search traffic.

Always go for high level domains like .com .net .org kind of domains.

[electronicash]

$5000 is crazy. most web developer if not all will still prefer the .com extension. hell i even write bitcointalk.com when i tried to visit this forum which people would probably feel for it as well.
what does even .ga mean by the way?

[Jet Cash]

I'll buy bitcoin.com for $8.38

[Kakmakr]

Most people do not even know, you get other extensions like, .ga and .gq and they will fall back on the extensions they do know, which is .com or .net and the people who sell these domains know that. Why would you buy a no-name brand, if you can buy a brand name, default domain? I always look at the extension, before I visit a site and if the extension is something other that .com or one of the more popular extensions, I do not trust them. If a person cannot afford to pay for a decent domain name, he probably has some other issues too.    

[Amph]

that price will be laughable in a few years, when the real demand will begins, i'm looking forward to 10k+
