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.

Consider this....

decentralized.com
sold for $3,250
I would consider it a much safer investment since it can describe the overall decentralized FinTech industry. I would pay $1,000,000 for decentralized.com before I would spend $1,000,000 on BlockChain.com, and that's without the ugly dash in the middle.

That sale is probably the most undersold sale in the history of sales.

Other than that, all .com industry-specific, category-killers SHOULD BE seven figure domains based on FinTech/DLT's future.

Rather own?
Wi-Fi.com or Block-Chain.com

Agree it was undersold but Block-Chain? They better go buy Crypto-Ledger and Vali-dator

I'd much rather own BlockChain.com.. by far - its become the brand name/buzz word for a certain type distributed ledger technology.
The industry is attracting billions and its all under a concept which has been named 'BlockChain'.
When JP Morgan has a department called 'The Blockchain Centre of Excellence' (started in 2015) that tells you the direction the wind is blowing.

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

I also had a nice mid xxx offer on decentralize..info (without D).... but I decided to keep it for better bigger payday.

so I think the keyword is pretty hot. I'll have to check sale date of decentralized...com

its hard to believe it was recent sale at this price.

FinTech is universal for financial technology. Blockchain makes me think of slow. Decentralized ledger I think Ripple (fast). Blockchain I think of miners confirming transactions. Decentralized ledgers I think of validators. Future is in distributed validators imo.

I agree and I wrote it. I was just messing around. I have a deep hatred for dashes. I have never owned one and never will. Its a branding nightmare.

The domain sounds cool but the hyphen killed it!

Still it fetched a quite decent amount. Lucky seller :D

Didn't know that - thank you.
It has become the norm for folder structuring your website so if anything I bet it has a lot of
inurl:block-chain results

I should check but I'm lazy atm.

It was necessary that the hyphen domains get more attention because hyphen domains are more visible and memorable
And they also rang in google
I had

Wir-für-Deutschland in all versions
And I always were no 1 at google ranking when you type in Wir für Deutschland
