Ok, so i got 3 new domains today because i liked the idea of getting them, but now, i have no idea what to do with them. So i want some opinions / ideas on how to use them. Any domain experts around?

Feel free to express yourself  

1) xbt.money

2) expo.money

3) bit.social

(didn't know where to post this, so if it's in an appropriate thread, please free to move it)

1) xbt.money - no, it's crypto
2) expo.money - just no
3) bit.social - very nice, as can be used wide range niche

Maybe you should first structure your business plan and then acquire suitable domain name for it.

1) xbt.money - no, it's crypto

what do you mean? I think XBT is the BTC alternative, this is how Kraken & CNN Money shows it, i think... I might be wrong though.

I agree about bit.social.  It sounds like... i don't know, i just like it.

Think he meant that Bitcoin is 'cryptocurrency' not 'money', but he's wrong as 'money' is not limited to 'fiat money'.

If you don't know what to do with domains, you can list them for sale on Marketplace board.

bit.social sounds really good, but cannot think of any type business it could be used for, other than maybe some social networking (not necessarily bitcoin related), but we already have plenty of those. I wouldn't be selling this one cheap though.

Hi locopao,

I have to agree with krigger here, I think. The first two domains are maybe not in the premium range. But the last one is indeed very nice.

I'm no expert (read my other posts for effortless confirmation of this!) but I have been doing alot of reading lately, and one thing I keep noticing is this:

There is a very strong feeling among many newcomers that they have "missed the boat" on Bitcoin. I too felt this way when I started trying to get involved (which is very recent) and I am not entirely sure that I have grown out of this feeling.

HOWEVER!

What is ALSO true is that Bitcoin is in its infancy. The market cap is tiny so far, and widespread adoption has only barely started to gain any real traction. And what I mean by all that is that there is some serious scope to be at the center of the thing when it does take off - which I believe it will.

So...to sum up.

There is an amazing opportunity for a bridging resource between those two feelings. These forums, and particularly the Beginners board, are a great intro, but it's overwhelming at first. It's also a very curious mix of technical, mathematical, clueless, shady, scammy, expert, hopeful, begging and many many more things. So it can be tricky sometimes to sift through it to find the juicy bits.

I think you could do alot with that third domain. Don't take the above as the definitive way to go - I am a complete newbie when it comes to this world! There are many here who could expand on that though, or steer you to richer veins.

Best of luck

Ist.

ok, thanks for your answers 

so far he have "bit.social", that can be used mainly as a social media kind of service (not necessarily bitcoin related)

Any one else? Any more ideas?

keep them coming

I like bit.social as the name sounds brandable. Maybe you can come up with something similar like a facebook concept. Get a script and run it on the site. The hardest part would be on getting traffic because you will need to have a good reason for people wanting to visit and then going back there. Something like setting up a meeting place for bitcoiners around a local area and then pay in bitcoins for active participation.

Dude, don't buy up domain names if you don't need them. Some guy or gal may have a business that could use a domain name that you've bought and while you're slowing down their productive activities, they're being slowed down by your greedy hobby.

You're the equivalent of pop ads...don't do it. Don't waste domain names. It's a really shitty move. You're a squatter.

[coinpr0n]

You might want to get some hosting to serve some simple pages linking to any other sites you may have. If your plan is to sell the domains maybe leave a message on the homepage. Either way, may as well use them. Link them between eachother for starters.

localbitcoins.com has built up a good name for themselves by providing for an online marketplace where people can buy and seel bitcoins with other bitcoiners.

bit.social could perhaps be a site to organize bitcoin meetups? It could also be a site that provided info about bitcoin and social media. Perhaps how to tip on social media etc..

3 letter domains are always worth a lot, any 3 letter in .com domains will fetch thousands if not millions of dollars. Its not a bad idea to snap them up now and wait a couple years until they are worth more, time will make them worth more when all the names are taken.

People put far too much emphasis on domain names, when they aren't as important as the brand behind it. You could rank #1 for "bitcoin bank" using the domain http://imafloppydonkey.com if you wanted. All you have to do is build the brand around it.

Your question, therefore, leads to showing you don't quite understand how search engines and ranking work, nor how to market. I'd highly suggest you learn more about these before delving in.

Lol. If you bought domain names back in 1993 you would be a millonaire now and not complaining about it.
It's called speculating.

You are so wrong my friend...

I know well how the search engines work. If you read my first post, i am asking for some brain storming here, just for the fun (or not) of it. I appreciate your opinion, but i am not looking / asking for marketing lessons. I will probably have some spare time (between projects) and i am thinking of doing something special using one of these 3 domains.

By the way, web design, SEO & social media strategy is my main job occupation

So you already know domain name doesn't impact anything. In that case, what are you trying to brainstorm? I don't see what you're looking to get from it if that wasn't it. None of those domains are likely to have any value going into the future, and those main domains are unlikely to ever catch on.

sounds good, too, but not really interested in selling them. I just want to make something on them.

Thanks guys

Just a few comments and maybe some fresh ideas. By having an open dialogue and exchanging thoughts with people of the BTC community, of different age, aspect and perspectives. That's all.

Okay, then on that note, expo.money could be used to help showcase various coin expos. There are a LOT of meetings, expos and such for Bitcoin and cryptos in general. It could be a way of keeping up with what's going on, when it'll be, and where. Maybe even a map. Basically, the go-to place for meetups of different types.

[Hazir]

1) xbt.money - I simply do not like that name and I find it really not that useful, maybe you could establish faucet under this domain.

2) expo.money - again a little limited domain, but word expo is not that bad...

3) bit.social - definietly the best domain that you have, it can be used for various projects even not bitcoin and cryptorelated stuff 'bit social' is a nice world play after all

[wadili89]

at the end if you did not find any usefull use of these domain then sell them pm me when you are ready i am intrested in one and i might buy
