discuss Diem??

[DaveX]

This morning I read an article about a company that just registered a bunch of "Diem" domains. Something about crypto currency. I didnt' see any threads about this Diem, so I thought I would start one.

Here's a link to the article.

Have/Are/Will you be registering any Diem domains?

 

[loredan]

Oh, nice! Do you know how much it sold for?

 

[BRDavid08]

@loredan not my sales...just got info from DAN

 

[Domain boy]

What about the term "XDM"? did they file a trademark for it as they did for "Diem"?

 

[DomainBarracksRob]

Oh, nice! Do you know how much it sold for?

Not my sale but check itShow attachment 175596

I would not be surprised if that one was FaceBook coming in early! It's all over their Term in the Mark, They forgot it when they reg Main Others. This one is a no brainer they should of had it already, And .....its new Expire date is 2022 ( all the ones FB owns also are till 2022).....

Just read the Diem trademark application with USPTO and it looks aggressive covering a huge range of products & services! I'm not sure we'll see very many major Diem domain sales... who would want to spend thousands on a domain that might get taken away? No trademark for XDM though, and very catchy (Exchange Digital Money)... I feel like XDM domains might be the play but most good keywords are taken unfortunately.

FYI ... I've Grace Deleted All DIEM names last week!

I own/hold 0....The FB TM was not posted on WIPO until 12/02 as I looked on 12/01 (which they filed) and would not have picked them up if I'd seen it to begin with. Was a huge learning experience.


However...

No trademark for XDM though, and very catchy (Exchange Digital Money)... I feel like XDM domains might be the play but most good keywords are taken unfortunately.

I have x/d/m (dot) (tv)

It is a great acronym as you point out

 

[DomainWolf]

I put a little money into XDM but not going overboard.
Dot poker
Dot global

no matter what others say...nobody knows where crypto is going..if anywhere... holders hodl..its a gamble like any casino bet...cause the only fact is that hodler or others nobody knows why btc goes up or down.. and all have zero control over it.. what kind of asset or money is it where one has zero control over its value day to day...minute to minute... that's right it's the worst kind of asset

to get back to topic. maybe diem names for crypto are the best cause it's all about the now... and zero knowledge for future value

Crypto is just as safe as any other currency is, since after all the base of money is trust and everything else is just a symbol.
Back in ancient Rome, they used to pay soldiers with salt, since that was more widely accepted as a currency than gold was. Pepper was also a currency, just like salt was. In A.D. 410, when Rome was captured, 3,000 pounds of pepper were demanded as ransom.
Now we just switched from salt & pepper to crypto, but the base remained the same: trust.

not so... btc can go up down as it see fits... and we all know usd does not do that.

if u are comparing btc stability to usd stability then u mislead people. it's not even same ballpark.

this is why cryptos are bad. owners zero control over their mega instability....

They weren't the first to coin/term "xdm" for crypto currency apparently
Take a look
