George Hong, founder of @GUTA domain name brokerage shared a video on social media earlier, which featured an old interview with Lei Jun, the founder of one of China’s most successful companies, Xiaomi.

Here are this week’s Top Topics.
I Sold CoinMena.com for $25,000
One of the most popular discussions this week centred around the sale of CoinMena.com, a cryptocurrency related domain. According to the sales report, “MENA” stands for “Middle East, North Africa” and the deal for the domain was closed after the buyer and seller met for lunch in New York.
There is an attached post script to the discussion in which the seller reveals some details of an unethical broker, who was hired by the buyer initially.

Poll: Are You on Target for a Great Year?
Many domain investors will have set targets at the beginning of 2019 for either a specific number of sales and acquisitions, or an overall net profit value from domain names.
Now that we are over halfway through 2019, it’s becoming clearer to see whether you’re on target for this year, whatever your target is.
This week’s featured poll asks you to vote on whether you’re on target to achieve your domaining goals in 2019. As of writing, over 50% of voters are on target.

According to DomainIQ, the domain will rank as the second highest .TV sale of the year, just behind NEO.tv at $20,000 and beating Chess.tv at $15,000 for the second spot. Congratulations on the sale!

Google Pushing Progressive Web Apps
This week, an investor shared an article from Google’s AdSense department who revealed that they are due to put more resources into mobile web app technology, and reduce the focus on the iOS and Android apps.
Since this is a domaining blog, there is an obvious focus on domain names. Does the latest developments from Google signify the start of a shift away from apps and an increased reliance on web apps, which would need domain names at the heart of them?
