That's fun you have to specify "not Swetha"

Why the (aidev.xyz) is still for sale cheaper on Dan!?

that is what I ment...

The power of doing outbound? The startup wanted to emphasize that they're a dev team?

 

[Andreas B.]

Maybe... Devs.ai comes at just a 59K pricetag though... The XYZ doesn't make sense at all...

That being said, it's worth whatever a buyer is willing to pay. Great sale, crap domain.

Well there is one Polish AI training course named AIDevs (.pl). Seems to be quite successful in Poland. Perhaps, and I'm just speculating here, the team behind it also wanted more international TLD for whatever reason (expanding to English?), but they don't want to rebrand. If they are also web3 oriented, .xyz is perfectly acceptable in that circle. Dotcom is in use, aidevs.io is listed at Sedo ($2.5K) but without any 'for sale' lander, and if they only used GoDaddy's search, it's not priced there (could also be an old listing on Sedo). Maybe XYZ is meaningful to them because of 3 instructors or 3 different courses or something.

Anyway, trying to understand is more fruitful than judging, imho, even if assumptions turn out to be wrong.

The .xyz doesn't make much sense at all, since the hype concerning blockchain has died out. Sure, people still speculate in Bitcoin, but no one cares about NFT:s, shitcoins, or blockchain domains.

I probably would've re-branded to devs.ai, but even aidevs.io is better. But apparently it sold for more than it was listed for. And if @DomainNature is to be believed then it was sold above its listing price, in which case whoever bought it probably wasn't aware of the aftermarket.

(and yes, I forgot about the outbound)

Do you have any arguments? Or is this going to be another "You're just spreading FUD" tirade?

The hype died when the Bored Ape Yacht Club investors issued a class action lawsuit the company for market manipulation, and the market has been steadily dwindling since.

TWeb 2 isn't even a real thing, it was just a marketing term to lure in investors for sites that used Flash and dynamic javascript, and it only got attention because Blockchain enthusiasts could market their bullshit as the next installment of something tried and tested, and in that way feign some kind of legitimacy.

But it's been 3 years since the popularity of Web 3 spiked, but where is it? What happened to Axie Infinity and all of these other forgotten breakthrough projects that was going to revolutionize the web?

What am I not seeing with this domain name? Congrats to the seller though!

NFTs are so last season (from the hype perspective; BAYCs still sell very well). Are you even aware of the current market caps of dozens of stupid memecoins? Besides those, a lot of serious building (with vc money) going on, one of the main narratives being decentralized AI.

NFTs are so last season.

Do you know why? Because the largest NFT community sobered up to the reality that they had been scammed and filed the aforementioned class action lawsuit.

Are you even aware of the current market caps of dozens of (stupid) memecoins?

I'd imagine it being substantially less than it was two or three years ago, then again I don't really care.

Besides those, a lot of serious building (with vc money) going on, one of the main narratives being decentralized AI.

Another promise of a decentralized service that will be centralized to a company's servers.

Either way we're getting off topic.

But this sale is a grift as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Jannes]

then again I don't really care.

Well I care because I sell (have recently sold) domains to them (crypto startups in general)! That's more lucrative than being grumpy.

edit: I edit a lot (and use too many parentheses)
edit2: I guess we went off-topic because of my facepalm emoji, and I apologize to every reader

Well I care because I sell (have recently sold) domains to them! I thought the point of domaining was to make money, but whatever rocks your boat.

Rug-pullers buy domains? I thought they just hand-registered their domains. I mean what's even the point of spending money on a fancy domain if you're just going to sully it with a scam?

But you're perfectly right. The point is to make money. And if it works for you then you have my endorsement. But it's still disheartening to see domains like aidevs.xyz sell for $30,000 when the .io is listed for $2,500.

No I meant that the hype, which has just begun, is in meme coins/tokens and brand new projects and narratives ; meme coins are the NFTs of this cycle (otherwise the nature of this bull cycle remains to be seen). We all know that they are casino coins, and this hype corresponds to the fact that gambling in general is on the rise. Institutional investors buy Bitcoin or ETFs, but retail has no money to invest or trade with large-caps. Gamblers and crypto-newbies are of course easy targets for scammers, but that's same old, same old.

I understand your sentiment. On the other hand, the aforementioned alternatives could be underpriced.

edit: And I don't care one whit that Alop, our restricted master contributor (random word blurts), has for some weird reason and some time ago decided to dislike/disagree with everything I say.

Nice sale. Seems I have bet on the wrong horse with VRDevs.com, lol.
