DOMAIN HUMOR: Where did all the “good names” go?
So, we’ve heard whispers from some domain name investors that all the “good names” in the domain space were “taken years ago”. As in….
Unavailable?
Gone?
Depleted?
No crumbs to savor?
Needless to say, there are domain investors, both new and tenured, who allow this subjective view to sway their investor confidence. Let’s use this thread to calibrate via a little humor.
Now, all the “good names” couldn’t possibly be taken. If they were, that would mean registrars are farmers in collusion to sell hungry folks empty eggs. “Shell names” anyone?
Furthermore, where’s the formal list of so-called “good domains”? @bobhawkes, you wouldn’t have it tucked away somewhere would you? If a list did exist, Bob would have it!
Using the phrase “good domains” should be prefaced with “the names I believe are”. After all, what we consider “good sleep”, “a good meal” or even a “good therapist session” varies.
We know some folks use Jedi mind-tricks to psych other investors out as a way to make their own holdings, (which are probably names they consider “good”) seem more desirable.
All the “good names” being gone “years ago” implies the possibility of registering one now rests exclusively with blockchain names. Now, we know how many of you'd disagree.
So, let’s agree pairing “good names” with “all taken” is like using “quenched thirst” to define “no water”. Together, they can paint a very confusing picture of the facts.
