I think so too it would be a cheap at 100m.usd + as its as good as it gets it's the future of money the most recognisable self explanatory one word. com on earth we'll almost lol
Agreed. If the revolution is to succeed, whatever price they bargained for may yet in the future be viewed as a paltry sum.
Domainsherpa.com have to do an interview with either the seller and buyer but preferably both and an idea of its sale price but just to hear the offers turned down and due to the length of time he had the domain it would have been free to register back then in 1993
High 7 figures or 8 figures, only a fortune 500 company would turnt hat down. He was a cryptology professor; that integrity of, "I'm not selling," is going to melt away when someone offers you $10MM +. As it should. Crypto currencies, and the technology, are blown way out of proportion. Accepted fiat currency will one day be completely digital, and there will be very few winners at the top of digital payments (as it is right now). That's the only real version of cryptocurrency that you will see. The ICO rush was fun, but thats done. A $20k BTC coin was fun, but that's done. The only changes for crypto will be the pairing with actual commodities with established values; instead of creating a 'futures' market out of thin air. Congrats to the seller.
Yes . Is exact i say . One of buyers say "Don't be shy to ask 30 mil." & Matt say not for sale . Was even a article here on NP
Sorry...but you are totally clueless. He DID NOT RECEIVE a $30 million offer. A domainer (who is on Namepros) advised him to ask $30+ million for Crypto dot com.
So what I heard couple of months ago here was true, 'every domain DOES have a price'. Congratulations to the buyer (since the buyer is more lucky here than the seller, I believe-to acquire such a gem).
I think this domain is worth exactly what it sold for.. not less & not more.. it will never sell again, not as a domain.. if it does, it will as a business..
They raised $26.7million in the ICO which was held in last year May. Techcrunch post says that they Monaco have a $200 million balance sheet due to the increase in cryptocurrency price. I guess they may spent 1% max of the balance sheet to buy the domain which means $2 million or less.
Some interesting comments by Matt Blaze today. Read more here http://www.mattblaze.org/blog/newaddress
If I were in Monaco's shoes, with a $200m+ ledger, I would be willing to put 1/4 of that up to lock down the best name for a crypto card. If Monaco wants to be the top crypto payment processor, it would be a no-brainer to make sure no one outbids you. No doubt, he was getting offers all day for $10m, it has to be higher. My guess is the deal was for $10m+ cash/crypto with options maturing in the next decade, pushing it closer to $20m.
Talk about wrapping it up, succinctly put to say the least And a fairy tale ending to a domain owners story. Man ol' man. Dream come true for any one of us. Now, he can take some of his profits and reinvest in Blaze.com, move off of that .org..
