[equity78]

Swetha just announced the sale of Operator.xyz for $40,000. It looks like an Afternic broker helped close the deal. https://t.co/7Zybst5JBm sold for $40000 @Afternic Thanks to my rep Mason Goecke and the broker.#AI #ArtificialIntelligence #domains #domainnames #startup #startups #venturecapital #defi #technology #cryptocurrency #DAO #blockchain #crypto #bitcoin #ethereum #btc… pic.twitter.com/g0tjCOlTSf — Swetha.xyz (@DomainNameGear) December 10, 2024

She possesses a portfolio of approximately 20,000 very best premium domain names in a popular extension, backed by significant funding and aligned with the trending tech sectors of cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence, Web3, decentralized finance, fintech etc. Her strategic investments and early adoption of this domain space have yielded substantial returns. While the majority of us may have missed the peak of this particular opportunity, our focus should be on identifying and capitalizing on emerging trends and profitable ventures.

If you do a Google lookup as per below and you see the usage :

site:.xyz [ web3 ]
site:.xyz [ crypto ] etc....

how did a person know to keep investing into renewals for years of few sales and xyz not selling? it sure takes guts and not to mention huge negative income bill for years.

for example me I dont mind do this for say one niche... say vr or some shit... but that's like 50 names... I'd never do it for 20k names

My theory is this: you could register these domains for very cheap back then, sometimes as low as $0.99. She bought a significant batch for A/B testing, and even selling them at a low price in the $1,500-$2,500 range would be profitable. She noticed the demand and scaled up accordingly. I can't see any other way to scale up so quickly, especially starting with expensive auction names in the $100-$400 range. Timing and vision and luck.... all required in this business.

I'm not talking about register for 1 cent. I'm talking renew for 10bucks. we all know xyz wasnt sellng before. so I dont think she had tons of easy 4fig sales left and right...or 3fig... hell I dont think people bought xyz for even 5 cents back then. cause every one knew it was spam junk sold for 1 penny. now it's still junk but selling for 100k.

I don´t know man. It's possible that she saw a financial opportunity, perhaps breaking even in the short term before the trend gained momentum. Additionally, by not reporting sales in the beginning, she may have aimed to maintain a competitive edge.

Similar strategies have been employed by prominent figures in the AI industry, where a select group of investors, including Igor, have consolidated control over valuable domains. They sold lower and kept renewing at a way higher renewing fee and they never lost faith of the potential growth of the extension... I don´t want to come across I am defending her or something, however I believe she deserves some recognition for sharing her experience with the community. Her initiative has inspired others, including myself, to explore similar opportunities with other promising extensions. Anyway, back to business...

Igor has nowhere close to 20k names. even after considering the x time more for .ai renew Vs xyz renewal.

as for swetha.. whomever expresses doubts about this whole thing it is for reasons and motivations behind sharing sales or strategies... not for the sharing itself which is a good thing for spread of knowledge.

It's too bad she wasn't posting 5-6 years ago and being bullish on .xyz even back then.

It's also too bad no one from Namebio ever had the chance to log into her Afternic account and see the sales history.

If those two things had happened, maybe we wouldn't have 6 page threads like this every month with people who don't seem to learn/remember.

This sounds like the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon.

Either that or my Masonic handlers were right and I should keep a close eye on you.

Let me reply now the reply which I wanted to gave after your reply, cause someone released a video 2 days ago about AI and that it can be deceptive, so here is what I wanted to reply but abstained because I not want to look crazy.

The purpose of AI and those who created it is to cause me to curse the whole humanity, because they know I have such power, because it is possible that I m the second coming, you are following false God's which use AI and are controlled by AI, basically such popular persons as Musk, Trump, Sam and others, are deceiving you daily, why I think that AI is copying my doings is because they want me to cause to curse the whole world, how this happens is simple, all my personal data is fed to the AI beast, it targets then at you content based on my personal data, this causes people to copy cat, I begin to get angry and curse them, which caused me to curse COVID, Ukraine with Russia fight and not realizing what they do, I have cursed US to be destroyed, Israel and Muslim war, so the more people will copy the more I will curse.
That is why after I will reveal the Secret Truth about this world I hope to take my glory back, but if not, I m ready to liquidate everything for recognition!
Take this as you want, but you worship false God's!
Also they made in such a way to hide all my presence online, they make my comments go down and be shown to grabbers, I will repay them back in x100 soon, after Google have copy my designs I have cursed the Youtube CEO at that time and her entire family, you know what happened then.

Congrats to Swetha for the sale of Spectral.xyz! Another strong sale at $20k!

Sorry, I was just too busy reporting a xxxx sale, rather than to discuss the latest xyz scams. But you go on, continue.

It's also too bad no one from Namebio ever had the chance to log into her Afternic account and see the sales history.

This is the exact thing that has happened: "Namebio had the chance to log into her Afternic account and see the sales history" https://namebio.com/blog/swethas-sales-the-truth-may-shock-you/

.com is the king, but if you have a strong one-word domain, then you can sell that for higher amounts in other TLDs as well, including .xyz. In .xyz the one word must be related to crypto, web3, tech, finance, metaverse, AI, investing.

I don't know why is it a surprise that some companies have $20,000 - $100,000 for a domain name. This is not a lot of money for a lot of startups. If they can't afford a great .com name, they might buy a one-word domain in other TLD, such as in .xyz. It happens in other TLDs, too, including .io, .ai, .net., .vc etc. Do you open threads claiming that all these .io, .ai, .net etc. sales are scams?

So these one-word .xyz names are valuable, and if a single person owns the majority of these domains, then of course the sales reports will originate from the same person.

You can find a lot of developed, real business websites using the .xyz TLD on this blog: https://gen.xyz/blog

Also look at the W3techs data: https://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/top_level_domain

.xyz is used by 0.2% of all the websites.

This means tens of thousands of real businesses use the .xyz extension. W3Techs reports only the actual, live, developed websites. According to their stats, the .xyz TLD is more popular than for example .ai, .app and .us. Again, these are the live, developed websites only.

What are the odds that I'd suggest someone at a website might be given access to Swetha's account only for that website to be given just that? I guess since there's over 100,000,000 domain names registered that the odds are less than 1:100,000,000. I should have bought a powerball ticket!

... can know if the seller and buyer are the same people?

Operator.xyz business is online. Announced @ dotproduct.xyz Dot Product Technologies, Inc. raised $6M from a we'll-known VCs and some $M from multiple angel investors. Always DD or wait for a clear air / signals vs I guess. Wish you the best!

This is NOT proof, some domains could be "sold" privately or resold.
Or sold for a high price on a hype created by Swetha's "sales".
I am already sick from a story tale about a "poor Indian girl" who could pay renewals for "her" domain collection and then sell a bunch of domains of the most spam extension for 20k and higher.

Pretty sure there are photos on Twitter of her with other domainers at one of last year's domain conventions but I am sure that doesn't mean the rest of your argument is wrong just because it is built on gut feelings and a flawed premise.

u kinda missed point.
like all points

nobody asks about io co etc sales cause they dont happen regularly at 5 or 6fig and by one person on earth in these regular ranges. big io co etc sales regular and one person. those are the keywords. your thing is a zero comparison thing.

2nd... sure companies can afford 100k. but wtf would they buy a shit tld like xyz... which nobody paid 10 cents for few year back and had zero interest in. plus why would they pay 100k for it while having 1 trillion othr tlds for 5 bucks a pop and same keyword.

those are the issues.

the thing u said is like not connected bro

XYZ or IO? For some reason the Indian Ocean territory TLD became popular for under construction landing pages for silicon valley because IO also means input/output. For similar dumb reasons crypto/NFT pump and dump schemes were using .xyz landing pages.

These are a lot of tech, crypto companies. Might be as simple as, if the extension is good enough for Google (abc.xyz) it’s good enough for us. Could be those keywords aren’t available in other neutral extensions. Could be they see other companies spending big dollars on xyz. Remember, these are some the same types that spend millions on useless NFTs.

We forget about abc.xyz because it’s not a consumer focused website, but maybe others took notice
