discuss The Big Loss

[MSN-Domains]

Ethereum.com deal is dead in the water. I know many have tried to contact Vitalik to buy the .com, He couldn't give a rat's as*

There is also ethereum classic which runs the project like mozilla. With the owners less likely to buy at the price - still you would've of thought, They would give it little consideration to gain possible leverage over their sibling's. In any-case, highly unlikely as VB is synonymous with the word Ethereum. EC team were/are private nobodies once Hoskinson left

Now obviously trademarked, The domain has nowhere to go. How does the owner ever get paid? If it was a EMD it could sell elsewhere =no stress. IMO both projects still have a strong chance of being re-branded consequence of DAO attack.

Everybody is quick to run and blow smoke up somebody's as* when something sells, but how has this deal gone so wrong, i noticed the price went up and up, Did the owner balls this up by pushing the price to high?

When you fathom combined wealth of Lubin, VB and Gav Wood would of been absolutely bottom pessimism around $9B usd from token offerings alone, not to mention their personal BTC holdings. Are they acutely aware the domain owner can't do anything and in the end they will have the domain for nothing?

Seems to me, this is now a complex game of game-theory where they know, the domain owner has nowhere to go (The domain owner thinks he's in the same position) ........... but really the domain owner is trapped with a asset he can't sell to man or beast

interesting scenario, the ethereum project business model means both ethereum's aren't really a businesses either.

 

[Rob Monster]

I would sell for ETH soon and liquidate on a bounce in the ETH price.

 

[Name Trader]

How does that ever happen. You start a business on a domain you don't even own. I think both parties deserve whatever they get. IMHO. But I blame the seller (mostly) for keeping to push the price into the stratosphere and never accepting any offers which may have been made. But that's just my opinion about something I know nothing about. Does that mean any Ethereum funds are completely lost now?

 

[MSN-Domains]

When you cross the chasm financially............ or have children it becomes unanimous that > Time is the greatest asset you will ever own.

Isn't this really just the same story as Nissan - Putting your life on hold and picking battles you can't win is really long-term negative life EV

 

[Name Trader]

I don't know all the facts. But the Nissan story was about owning your last name .com and not wanting to be pushed around by a big company. It sounds like pure greed from the owner of ethereum.com. At least that is what it sounds like to me.

I've been a much bigger fan of EOS than Ethereum from the start of EOS. I bought a lot of it at around $4 and sold at $19.50 and again at $20 before it crashed down and made about 20k when it was all said and done.

I also bought Ethereum back when it was $9 and sold way to early when it hit $18. It was a great profit, but had I just kept accumulating it here and there I would probably be retired right now...or at least own a ton of 3 letter .coms haha.

Anyways, I'd probably fire sell it if I owned it and move on. I'm very bearish on Ethereum (and Bitcoin) long term. However, I'm bullish on blockchain and future crypto in the long run.

 

[maya-zir]

what happened to ehtereum?
I just handger 2 domains (JoinEthereum.com & JoinEther.com) and here you come with your pull...

VB's Ethereum Project (not $ETH) will survive, They have a great team - real market penetration. What they will call themselves in the future is anybody's guess.

As for Bitcoin.

It's leaderless - Short sellersThe unlucky and unfortunate have been torn a new Ahole thus jumping ship, What will take it's place? i wish i knew

What are you talking about? VB hasn't left ETH

And to think that in a couple years (if not earlier), many cryptocurrencies will vanish.
Problem solved

Pretty widely accepted "cryptocurrencies" are a useless endeavor. Crypto is officially dead. The glory purchase of crypto.com was short-lived, slightly premature to comment but looking that way

To be honest it never even threatened to disrupt payments in fiat. You could argue @Kate they never came thus will never vanish since the transaction volume only represents the volume of the casino what it essentially is

For the most part, the party is over - The swamp is being drained as we speak

 

[~ The 34 Year Buzz!!]

If you owned ethereum.com what would you do?
As part of a Big Picture, I would use the domain to help teach people at ' bitcointalk.org ' they have better options than ethereum based ICO's. Then after having made well over $10M the (almost worthless) domain name could be donated to charity.

Excuse me, facts speak much louder than incorrect opinions:
Q) Are you familiar with the list of Top ICO's in 2018, in Crypto-crazyland? (bitcointalk.org)

!```````````````````````````````````````````````````
Part of this might sound a bit crazy to you....
!```````````````````````````````````````````````````
A) spoiler alert
EOS raised over $4 Billion Yes BBBBillion and others?

Block.one/EOS $4.1 billion
Telegram $1.7 billion
Petro $735 million
Dragon Coin $320 million
Bankera $151 million


Bitcoin could go under $500, and the entire scene is still much bigger than the dnjournal top 100 domain sales. // facts speak much louder than incorrect opinions

Did you bump your head this morning? If you bought EOS you obtained zero equity for your capital. Furthermore, what does a funding round have to do with active customers, revenue or the underlying balance sheet of the business

What point you're trying to establish here is non-existent - we'll leave it at that.

If you look at a Bitcoin chart its been trading at 3,645 recently but nearest technical support levels are even lower at 1,900 and then 1,000.

 

[Jv1999]

tbh ^_^ i think you're all underestimating ethereum.com's future...

if the hodler knows and believe in eth, then he'll eventually sail Ethereum, not just to vitalik, but to whoever the eth foundation grants trademark share to. No doubt there will be a partner who will buy ethereum.com...

Ethereum will go to $50,000 per coin. Not now, maybe not in 2 years, but it's eventual. More and more projects are being built on eth... and the current projects built on eth are growing.

Once eth solves scalability... then wow.

Anyway you can't possibly think that eth can go above $10,000 and not have Ethereum.com sold, right?

 

[~ The 34 Year Buzz!!]

... - we'll leave it at that.

You claimed "Pretty widely accepted "cryptocurrencies" are a useless endeavor. Crypto is officially dead"
Are you somehow now trying to change that subject? Your opinion was 100% wrong. - we'll leave it at that.

...and even there it it much bigger than the current domain scene, thanks for the "support".

 

[xynames]

Lot of nonsense being posted, by people who never owned crypto and will never own it. Such people should just step aside and let the ones who are involved post.

Basically: those who own it or have owned it, will post here about how BTC, ETH etc., will eventually go up to higher levels than it was at a year ago.

Those who make ridiculous assertions such as "crypto is officially dead" have never owned any, and have nothing meaningful to say on the subject. It was always dead for such people, because they never owned any!

Same kind of nonsense you see posted online about stocks like AMZN, predicting that it will go down to zero, by people who own no shares.

 

[Mifuru]

If I own a ethereum.com - I run a online forum like a NamePros with personal wallet on wallet.ethereum.com and another services on subdomains. i think, that name need hold, not for sale, only for commercial or personal use.

 

[Fancy.domains]

A swap with ETH will be my answer. Probably a win-win...

 

[MapleDots]

I would toss up a forum site on the domain and turn it into a similar version to namepros. A place for people to come and talk crypto. Then I would start looking for sponsors and investors to see how I could monetize the domain. Turn it into a discussion site of sorts so the domain is actually in use and nobody else can lay claim to it.
