Someone is letting blockchain domains drop and they’re selling like hot cakes

[Nametree]

I was looking through tomorrow’s Godaddy Auctions and noticed a domain that stood out but fit the pattern of sales in the crypto/blockchain space -
BlockchainRegistry.com currently around $6k with 12ish hours to go. Then I noticed another - BlockchainNetwork, sitting at $10k with 12 hours to go.

Ran a quick whois check and it seems like they’re both being dropped by the same person... who is dropping several of these in the next few days. BlockchainCompany, BlockchainIt ($8,100 and going) and a cool dozen others going at least in the hundreds tomorrow ALONE.

With the new Godaddy expiry policy, does this person have any recourse to get these domains back at this point? What might cause someone to drop these gems, is this a simple mistake or cluelessness?

Hope she doesn't have kids, not only because they are now motherless but because these would have been a nice inheritance!

Interesting they are in Phoenix, hopefully they are Godaddy shareholders

Well in that case.... I hope that she had lots of wealth in other areas and didn't hold a substantial proportion of her wealth in domain names!

A family statement read: “Jane believed in helping others help themselves. Never one to sit idly by, she was always working on a new business idea. However, work was always balanced by fun, preferably in the sun, by the water, with a beverage. Evenings were spent with friends playing poker or a trip to a casino. A passionate person with a quick, loud laugh, her love surrounded and supported so many of the people around her. She went over and above the call of duty for her friends, family and her pets. Her children, Jared and Leah, were truly the love of her life. We will miss her and love her with all of our heart.”

I wonder whether she also held bitcoin? Presumably the estate wouldn't know how to access those either!

That is the thing about bitcoin that 21M number, there are millions of coins that are forever lost, unless someone has that recovery sheet, doubt they will ever find them. If she had this many names, good chance she would have had bitcoin, and that was before the big jump also.

another one stolen lol

Oh man you have a one track mind. You think just because you're unskilled in finding the bargains then everyone else is too. All your vague veiled comments show me is your ignorance of the subject at hand.

I beg to differ

I have been very clear and stated there are bargains that can be found, you need to clean out the earwax or get bigger coke bottles for glasses to understand what is being said in a post.

There are bargains to be had, one does not have to thousands to get a viable blockchain domain.

Is my English that bad or is there an iq barrier there of some kind?

Have you even ever logged onto Godaddy Auctions?

All Blockchain / Crypto domains on the expiring auctions are going for big money, unless they rubbish ones.

That is the subject of the thread.

I suspect you aren't even a Godaddy auctions member, and therefore it would be your ignorance being displayed in this thread.

very, true to that - i personally picked up a few that were overlooked. I may not get every name i want, but the names i do get, i get at great prices.

Go on then, show us a blockchain domain on the godaddy expiring auctions with less than 3 days left to run which you consider to be a "bargain".

You're taking this thread off topic. This is what people are talking about.... I doubt you even have Godaddy auctions membership!

it will be interesting to see if the majority of names end up with with one person/co or spread around.

it's going to be very expensive if it is one entity (if they are looking at cornering the market) - there are over 1000 block names dropping from this one account.

HODL is not a fun word for many traders, today lots of TRX, and XRP HODL's who are kicking themselves today.

well.. true.. but.. what comes down must come up..

isn't it always so...

i decided to sit the crypto craze out, for now (in getting the actual cryptocoins) - not sure if bitcoin will even be able to be used as a payment system. Saw this article a couple weeks ago - if you can't use it for what it is intended for...does it still have real value?



A bitcoin conference has stopped taking bitcoin payments because they don't work well enough

You can use it to hold, say you trade in, and out of alt coins, it can be your base coin to hold your values. Otherwise it has proven to be a flight to safety when the alt coins sell off. If you look at ripple they can have 99,999,999,999 coins issued, bitcoin the max is 21,000,000 so scarcity

yes but when its limit reached.. it can fork etc.. into infinity..
I do not think this limited qty thing should be taken too litereally

imo

 

[alcy]

nonetheless, and I'm not saying I just learned it now as I discovered more abotu cryptotrading, cause most of us already knew it all along.. its just that its something crypto lovers keep repeating all the time.. one has to admit that our regular currencies.. fiat.. are backed by absolitley nothing and worth nothing more than what our governemnt makes us believe they're worth.. its all just debt debt debt..

at least at some point way back it was backed by gold

so I guess at some point if your smart you just gotta ask youself the question.. what exactly is the best optimal and most "real" way to store one's wealth today.. bunch of virtual digits that will only work as long as there are computers and internet and machines around (which in itself imo is not some kind of given forever.. like mos tthink and take for granted).. pieces of paper with no backing up (fiat)... gold??????? or something else altogether........

so when one really thinks about it all.. the question of how to truly store wealth.. is just a pretty confusing one today.

You make a good point in regards to Segwit2x

Wow, I just saw XRP, almost touch on $1 again

 

[urlurl]

in reality, these forks are just writing dividends to the existing bitcoin holders - they are just printing money for themselves without having to sell the coins - LMFAO

 

[alcy]

I spent tons of time reading and researching crypro trading over last couple weeks.. and one thing that seems quite obvious and not smart to me.. is that all those lovers seem to think they are in control here.. but they're not.. they still do not run the show with cryptos.. it just kinda switched from fiat slavery to digital slavery... but its still slavery.. not control.

but like they say.. the perfect slave is he who thinks he's free ))))))

I know a little bit about crypto - but not an expert at all,

So here is my trillion dollar question:

Since bitcoin is so slow to use and only a small fraction of the world is currently using it - is it even realistic that bitcoin or any other coin be used on a mass scale for commerce?

Can a blockchain using Personal computers have enough capacity to run trillions of transactions on a global scale per day?

I already picked up a ton of IOT names. I have a few domains that are exact names of coins, I reg up coin names before they hit ICO lol dont tell

Well, You can check the live stats if you'd like. Bitcoin currently (and usually always is) backed up with 171200 UNCONFIRMED transactions.

Here is Ethereum's live transaction list: https://etherscan.io/txs
Here is IOTA's live transaction list: https://thetangle.org/live
Here is Ripple's live transaction list: https://xrpcharts.ripple.com/#/transactions
Here is Cardano's live transaction list: https://cardanoexplorer.com/

Bitcoin is a store of value at the moment. If you're using Bitcoin for transactions thats FOOLISH! A rock works better as a Bitcoin than Bitcoin. If there is a coin/token that will be used as actual currency, it will be IOTA. However, Crypto is worth in person, what it is online, and can be spent its current trade price. Have you heard of TENX? Centra? Look into them. Crypto debit cards. I can hold all my coins on it, but if I want to spend it, I will use something like ETH/XRP/IOT/ADA because of their low/virtually no transaction fees. Also, different coins will use different blockchains, lots new coins have their own blockchain. I feel like a few key coins will co exist and be treated like we treat our different kind of monies ($1 bill, $50 bill) Bitcoin dominance dies every day. It was the first, THATS why its as big as it is today. Ever ask anyone if they know about crypto? their response is usually something like "Oh what like Bitcoin?"

Bitcoin=Cryptocurrency, to the average person. Generally, when a person invests in bitcoin, they get the f*** out and get into alts! Bitcoin doesn't quadruple in a night, alts do, non stop, highly attractive to the average rookie investor, and with every single investor pouring money into BTC, it always leaves to alts, decreasing the BTC dominance. Ethereum is already at bitcoins ATH less than 10 months ago! I think crypto has an insane amount of growth left..... That is if no further laws are implemented to purposefully to disrupt it. That is always a possibility.
