Dear sir,

I am most delighted to hear of your generous offer regarding the PURCHASE of the bitcom.us domain. This domain is a most essential asset for any entrepreneur seeking to expand bitcoin in the US territories.

I would take this opportunity to present my own offer to the respectable gentlemen reading these here internet forums: I have in my possession the United States trademark over the "BITCOIN" word mark. This mark was originally registered by attorney at law Michael S. Pascazi, who unfortunately passed away without leaving a will or surviving family. As his business partner, I have decided to sell this most exquisite trademark before it's claimed by the government of our country, Botswana.
I have already received a generous offer of ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS for the purchase of this trademark, and I am open to any competing bids. For security purposes the only payment option I will accept is international USD wire transfer.

Regards,
Mutombo Trollondo

I laughed so hard I almost pissed my pants.

The sedo.com story looks very credible and I believe that some crazy person spent $20,000+ on bitcoin.de.

Seriously overpaid.

kind of funny how almost every website i visit never has a name like business.com or what not.
it is always something made up/catchy/goofy/short/memorable...
it is the content or the excellent service that makes a website great.. not the domain name.

for example newegg.com. a 10-20 dollar domain picked long after the domain name leg humping was
over by claiming everything generic.

.de is better than .us because Germans consider it their main tld, whereas .com holds that place for Americans, due to the majority of .com websites being in English.

I know someone who was willing to pay $20,000 max for this. However, since you already have a higher offer, I told him that you are not interested.

People who can't understand the value of domain names will never understand the value of domain names.  Embarrassed

The only person a domain name is valuable to, is an SEO.

As they understand that there IS value in the domain name, but that value is only there if you set shit up right to make sure you get your money from the SERPS.  Buying a domain name that specific without those intentions is pretty damn retarded, all the extra SEO work could be used to make a site with better content.

As though SEO's care about content though lol

Man trust me..  I own Yooter InterActive... I've been doing SEO since Altavista was the largest search engine back in 1994...  that domain name isn't going to do anything to help someone rank....  

he'll get a .00000000000000000000001% boost for having the domain name in the url...  he would have gotten the same effect with a third level name... IE:  bitcoin.ANYDOMAIN.com

.com's still have type in value (although less than before)  ... anything other than that and your throwing money at something you can't brand...  "hi we're bitcoin.info!  come over and see our killer website"

get a domain name that you can brand.

Bam.  The future will be this.  Keywords and domains will be pulling less and less rank. Google know they have been gamed so have been adjusting the algorithms which I think will filter all the link banks and bs.   Just everyone focus on making the best sites possible Smiley

>IMHO< a site named bitcoin.us sounds as trustworthy as mafia.biz :-/
Most users don't like .info,.biz,.us because sites with these endings are often just filled up with scam. So if you really have an 25.000$ offer for that .us domain, take it!

Do you think twitter would be as popular if it didn't have such a catchy name. Or if Facebooks name was shareyourinfo.com.

Congratulations you just made a case for why purchasing this domain is a BAD IDEA. Your domain "bitcoin.us" is the facebook equivelant of "shareyourinfo.com". Its not a catchy brandable domain its an exact description.

And please .us domains and worthless - show me one quality .us website. The only people buying shitting 1 word .us domains is guys like you looking to either flip them for a buck or put up spammy low level info websites.

and to top it off you start off with a bullshit story about already having an offer for 25k - you deserve to be flamed for lying.

That's my story; Absolutely none of mine were bought with the intention of squatting... I want to spend the next few years building bitcoin sites, so bought the domains in advance. Of course if anyone offers me a crazy-high price for one I wouldn't say no Smiley
