Last week, we brought you the news that James Booth sold the three-letter domain GMA.com to a Marksmen client. Yesterday, Jamie Zoch (@Yofie) broke the news that the eventual buyer has been revealed as Hyundai AutoEver America.
It's somewhat surprising that the US TV network ABC didn't acquire this domain since one of the channel's most popular shows, Good Morning America, uses the acronym GMA across social media and even on air.
Here are this week's Top Topics.
Showcase Your Best Crypto Domains
One of the emerging trends of 2017 is cryptocurrency. Currencies such as BitCoin and Ethereum are now very much in the spotlight, causing a rapid rise in markets such as Ethereum, which has increased in value over 2,000% since last year.
All of this means that cryptocurrency domain names are becoming more popular. Here, domainers are prompted to show off the best crypto domains that they currently own.

Which Domain Extensions Are You Investing In?
As the common domain industry saying goes, ".COM is king". It doesn't, however, mean that there is no value in some other extensions, with many investors choosing to acquire .NET, .ORG and a host of new domain extensions.
In this discussion, domainers are displaying their portfolio percentages, broken down to show which extensions are most popular. There should be no surprise to see that for most investors, .COM is king.

I Know How Much You Paid
If the acquisition price for any of your domain names is public, a potential buyer may discover this price and attempt to use it against you in negotiations, leading to the phrase "I know how much you paid".
How would you deal with that phrase during a negotiation for a domain you own? Would you feel a need to justify your asking price?
