opinion Domain Market is Manipulated

[Business Brands]

This is my opinion, from 7324 days of experience.
As manipulated as gold.
As manipulated as silver.
As manipulated as bitcoin.
As manipulated as housing.

This is an opinion. Take it or leave it.

Once thing is certain, this opinion has now been voiced.

Hallelujah.

 

[bmugford]

I'll leave it.

Every field has some % of bad actors, frauds, snake oil salesmen, charlatans, etc.

I don't think that is unique to the domain world.

Some form of manipulation exists in just about anything, sadly. As long as your domains are selling, at a price you're happy with ...from a business standpoint for you, are you happy? Just my perspective

Agree.

Comparison is the thief of joy. Comparing yourself with Rick S will only compound this problem, without a critical study of his portfolio.

And domaining is a subjective business.

Automatic trading is not unusual in stock markets. In 2019, 80% of the stock market was already on autopilot. And yes, there's manipulation in all markets, and people get caught. Not always.

With regard to domaining, I'd appreciate if OP can be more specific, as I would like to learn at least one new thing every day.

I don't As long as I make money I'm happy!
Almost all markets are manipulated anyway! Wrote this on another thread recently as well: several banks have received regulatory fines for manipulating the silver price and keeping it artificially low. Be smart and take advantage of it. I'm grateful... I get to buy physical silver for cheap

I think you are defining manipulated as huge whales entering the market and paying millions of millions of dollars for a domain. Even if a whale buys a 4L for $1,000,000, it still isn't manipulation. Why? Because domains are on a spectacle of worth, and it all comes down to the seller. If you as a domain holder, own a specific domain, and specifically want way more money than current market evaluation, you are in your entire right to sell it for more. There are specific domains that I own that I would never let go unless I got $100k+, but maybe are only worth $30-40k right now. Why? Because I don't need the money, and I place a lot of value on the domain. However, if a whale comes by with the right price, I would be ok with selling. This is usually the case with these really expensive domain names, and almost all of them are really good. Now think about the kind of people who invested early in this market, they have well over millions of dollars. Why would they sell one of their domains for cheap when they have already more than made it in life? They can afford to step back unless someone big comes in and buys it. Which is what is happening, big players who want top pages for top dollar are paying huge amounts for great domains.

"Manipulation" is usually an accusation made by those who are shut out of a market or lose money in a market, and it is generally unfounded. For example while yes there are extremely isolated examples of market manipulation in the stock market for the most part it is simply ruled by supply and demand.

It's easy to say, every time a stock or commodity goes up or down and against the direction you wish that it is manipulation, but where is the evidence?

half the definition is a positive statement and the other half is what yall are saying.

OMG i m so blind that now I realized I typed one letter wrong, very sorry for that, wearing glasses and still did not see it!

Well, then it's good that you took screenshots and photos and have the ultimate evidence, because otherwise you wouldn't believe it, right? The simplest explanation is usually the right one...

 

[nononsense123]

I mean who gives a shit about OP's unsubstantiated opinions..

Why Zoom did not buy it from the original owner?

Because they didn't exist at the time.

Magul must be referring to the fact that hitlerfuckingamonkey.com isn't selling for the listed price of $10,000 as it clearly should.
