GoDaddy takes down $100m listing for Bitcoin.com

So Mike Sallese pointed this one out to me, a story on TheBlockCrypto.com posted an article about Bitcoin.com being listed for sale on GoDaddy for $100 million. Yogita Khatri wrote: Roger Ver, the owner of the domain, said it is in fact not for sale. "100% fake news," he told The Block. Ver showed The Block screenshots in which he appears to be messaging GoDaddy, saying: "Why are you … [Read more...]

 

wouldve been worth it, if legit. ty.

 

Assuming the domain name bitcoin.com (1 x "bitcoin" (7 characters) + TLD .com (king - TLD)) would be worth $ 100 million USD, the domain name bitcoinbitcoinbitcoinbitcoinbitcoinbitcoinbitcoinbitcoinbitcoin.com (9 (ma)x "bitcoin" (9 x 7 characters = 63 characters = max number of characters) in a domain + TLD .com (king - TLD)) would have a value of $ 900 million USD which would mean that the domain name bitcoinbitcoinbitcoinbitcoinbitcoinbitcoinbitcoinbitcoinbitcoin.top (9 (ma)x "bitcoin" (9 x 7 characters = 63 characters = max number of characters) in a domain + TLD .top (top - TLD)) would be a priceless asset.

 

$100m?

 

yes with bitcoin's future ahead, definitely as a decentralized government hub site. yes.

 

what if somebody paid for the domain? oops

 

I guess the buyer of BTC.com got lucky then, considering they only paid 1% of the asking BID for Bitcoin.com

Ridiculous ^ $100M durfer come on now ? What would Bitcoins.com be worth ? Crypto.com as a whole sold for $12M

 

Bitcoin.com undeveloped for minimum $100M would be for sale for a long time Imho ...

 

Everybody in the world wants it. Its priceless.

 

It's not priceless, it just has no price as it is not for sale (at least that's the narrative).

 

how is possible that on godaddy ( one of the top domain company all over the world) an user can create a listing for a domain name now owned by him and for an amount like this?

 

Maybe @Joe Styler / @Paul Nicks from GoDaddy can explain it.

 

i need an explanation i struggle to list MY DOMAINS THAT I OWN on go daddy platform how can someone bypass the tedious godaddy verification process

 

Good point some can't list their own legitimate domains.

 

I know what you’re saying, I just don’t see bitcoin.com selling that high ... but I’ve been surprised before

Similar story for the guy who owned crypto.com - he told everyone it was not for sale, and then he sold the name a few years later to MCO

Everyone has their price eventually

 

i just dont use Godaddy. Complicated to sell.

 

An explanation from GoDaddy how the (fake) listing was possible at all would still be interesting.
