The Cryptocurrency Domain Name Block-Chain.Com Has Been Acquired for $1,000,000
One of the largest ever cryptocurrency domain name acquisitions was announced during Consensus 2018, the 4th annual blockchain technology summit sponsored by CoinDesk. A group of investors has purchased the Block-chain.com domain for $1 million (111 BTC), which makes this the third most expensive cryptocurrency domain name acquisition ever.

Prior to this transaction, the most expensive blockchain domain names sold were btc.com (sold for $1.1 million as early as 2014) and eth.com (sold for $2 million in October 2017). The buyers of the Block-chain.com domain immediately launched one of the largest portals in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry, bringing together the functionality of all the current major industry players.

Face-Book.com is forward to Facebook.com ❗❗❗

Mark is smart
Why? If it was as you said, the website should have been face-book.com, while Facebook.com should be the one that redirects.

Nice sale, i wouldn’t say it was a smart investment though. Paying $1 million for any domain is a risk, paying $1 million for a domain that isn’t worth $1 million, isn’t smart at all as it’s highly unlikely they’ll ever recover that $1 million should things not work out, i think it would struggle to sell for low 5 figures personally should it ever go back on the market again.

Hope the buyer sees something i don’t and it’s worth what they paid to their company.

I dunno much about fintech.. but I ve no prob taking your word for it.

Mind you, this was 8 years ago, but FinTech isn't new. The name's current value is a far-cry from this, though..

Cut that crap with all this language thing.
Germany caused enough problems to this world, so let's not give them so much undeserved attention.

I assume at these sort of levels they know what they're doing, but on the face of it this seems like a ridiculous price to pay. Firstly, Blockchain in the context of distributed ledgers, is one word. I've never seen it referred to as "block chain", with or without a hyphen.

I would have been wary paying $10k plus had it popped up on an expired auction.

Satoshi Nakamoto, creator of Bitcoin, wrote it as "block chain" when first describing the concept.

Happy for seller, but I have a question, as blockchain.com owner already has TM of it's domain.

Then how some other website with the same name and same content can run.
Block-chain.com

Don't the block-chain.com owner fall under the category of TM issue or copyright issue.

I M having no hard feelings here , just try to learn this, I ask this question
Thanks

The validityyy of a TM depends (beside on its one or more certain category/ies / class/es also) on the geographical location/s = country/ies for which it got registered.
Means, the "same" word / pic / … can be registered as TM by someone other if it's registered in / for another (category / class and) country(ies).
This is not seldom the case, maybe here too.


Beside this point, I anyway still don't believe that this domain got sold for that price.
To be honest, I am wondering about those who reallyyy believe it.

No, it's the other way around.

Seller purchased it for $30,000 and sold it for $1 million (for what we can see).
