I would say I am bullish on domains have been and always will be. Great domains. Meaningful domains. Brandable domains. Domains with demand. And when I talk about domains I don’t talk about anything other than .com domains. I deal in gold and platinum. I don’t deal in tin and faux metals that nobody ever heard of and nobody ever will. Dotcom is for investors Because the Internet runs on .com. 2019 I expect could end up being a stellar year for big domain sales. But I could also end up being a horrible year for marginal domains and domains with no demand. The downfall of social media and problems associated with control is a direct benefit to great domains. I expect that to manifest itself starting right now and on for the next couple of years anyhow. There are going to be some stunning sales. Possibly many of them. It’s a new day because social media has cancer. And as I have stated and written about and now others are starting to realize, ‘Social media is no longer social, it’s dangerous!” Very dangerous! On the other hand, Dot whatever’s are in a different category altogether. It’s just a little murky at this point what that category that would be. Let’s just say premium wouldn’t be the category. I am definitely not bullish on GTLD’s  You will have better odds at a roulette table in a casino. Much better odds. These faux domains are a fools game.  All I can see for 2019 are many more GTLD’s dying on the vine because a business can’t run on one or two registrations per day. It’s physically impossible. Others might pick up those losers just to avoid the embarrassment of how badly they are doing and protect their own extensions from going extinct. There will be 1000 horses in that race. One or two may find limited success. But 1 out of 1000 is really crappy odds. Really crappy. Roulette is like 36 to 1. And you don’t have to waste half of your life doing it. Go into the casino, place a bet, you win or you lose. Then walk out. Takes five minutes. GTLD’s will suck you dry for the rest of your life. And think of all that time that you wasted that could’ve actually been doing something constructive to make money.  They’re not investment quality domains for the most part. The ones that could be are so severely overpriced they just silly. They are held back by the registries. And they are the only ones making money on GTLD’s. And even most of those guys are losing their shirts. The top 10 extensions as far as registrations have 55% of the registration market. The bottom 500 share 45% of that market. As I write this over 400 extensions have less than 20,000 total registrations as we move into the fifth year or sixth year of this. Of those 400, 90% of them lost registrations the day I checked and wrote this. As a matter of fact, only 39 added registrations and none of them gained more than 51. But some of them lost 50,100,200 for the day. Those that actually added registrations is laughable. You can’t survive on a business that has one or two or five registrations per day. It’s impossible. That’s without even counting the deletions. People don’t understand Numbers. Domainers are number blind I think. The case against these extensions is so overwhelming it’s hard to believe anyone can buy into it.  And you know those top 100? Well, 86 out of 100 of those lost registrations the day I checked and wrote this as well. And we’re not talking small numbers. Added together well over 100,000 in that one day of reporting at nTLDstats.com I am not bullish on the domain industry or domainers themselves. I think they are in for a very rough ride. I think many will continue to disappear.  People here won’t like what I’m writing. They don’t like to hear reality. They don’t want to dig deep and ask tough questions and why I would say these things for so long and why I am trending right and they’re trending wrong.  Evidence to them is something that they don’t want to know and bury quickly because wanting what they want is so much more important. But that isn't how business works. It’s how I reacted as a teenager when my father or my brother would point out the bad news in an advertisement with the fine print that I would forget to read or sometimes just ignore. But the fine print changed the equation. Changed the equation from a winner to a loser. But only kids ignore stuff like that, business people don’t. They add up all the pros and all the cons and they don’t ignore any of them. They weigh all of them. The quickest way for me to find someone that’s going to fail in business is someone that ignores the things they don’t like. Those that buy crap will end up with crap. Go to the casino and play craps if you need crap. Again better odds!  Much much better odds!  And it’s not my fault that they buy crap. I try to educate and show the difference between crap and gold. But they have poor results and instead of figuring it out they crap on me for telling them that they bought crap. LOL   That doesn’t make me happy. It makes me sad. These people have wasted their families money on garbage. What am I supposed to tell them? What would you do? I usually just hit delete because I don’t want to deal with the nonsense that is sure to come. You plant seeds knowing they’re not going to germinate for possibly decades.  You research the future. You don’t chase the past. You apply history to the future and you’ll make a bundle. But if you don’t know history, ignore history, laugh at history or try and rewrite history then who is to blame if you’re not making any money?  Now that doesn’t mean you can’t go buy a first class or meaningful domain name at a good price and then go out on the market and find an end user to sell it to. And focus on that until it is sold. Sold to the end user. The last person you want to sell it to is me or any domainer!
