Are crypto domains valuable?

I am seeing many people are running behind crypto names (with word crypto in domain). I wanted to know are crypto domains very valuable and fetch good money even when they have random words / letters surrounding them?

I also noticed many crypto names are under "premium" category when you try them to register...

 

Do birds fly?

 

"Premium" often just means that a fellow domainer wants you to buy their domain in the aftermarket. And then list it again at a premium.

 

Thanks for the reply. Do you feel they are still worth buying/registering?

 

Having sold a couple of .coms with crypto in it, I tend to say yes. These were however aged domains and I registered them long before crypto got its current meaning. Before, it was more about encryption, cryptography, cryptology. Think of VPN, HSM, TLS, SSH, PGP, etc.

The current crypto market has to do with payments, blockchain, alternatives to traditional banking, etc. There are lots of initiatives and startups in this area, some useful others crap.

Try to read about these technologies in threads here on namePros and try to create a gut feeling which short one or two worders describe the field. Eventually, register some names. You may be optimistic, but never forget you are competing in an extremely crowded market. Most registrants are late in the game and will not succeed.

Hope this advice doesn't sound too cryptic. Wish you good luck learning, investing and selling in this interesting field.
