I think that price would still be low, after some years when bitcoin goes mainstream and goes to top I think it will be way more than that.

This price is a little unrealistic for a domain like .ag or something like that even if it's a highly price word like bitcoin, Generally domains are sold for prices like these usually online, you just have to be lucky to own such a valuable name from the beginning..

I also heard about the .ga domains but in my opinion they are not special and they are not looking nice after some names.
As a example currency.ga is just not nice too say also, currency.com is much more interesting than.

Well, its a normal thing that each of the domains like .org, .com .edu
has different monetary value. but for bitcoins domain it value is way too high.

If a .ga is worth something even close to that then this tells the person how good bitcoin word is and how much it is worth..

That is a regular price for a less popular extension with a great name "Like bitcoin in this case", if it was a better extension then it would be much more than that IMO.

That's common IMHO, I seen bitcoin domains being sold for more than that and that circle domain got sold for an "undisclosed" amount of money, That at least tells us bitcoin is becoming a primary niche right now.

That's not so surprising IMO, bitcoin is a growing new niche or word and has value in and of itself specially with future potential, There are tons of good domains that are being bought for big amounts of money over all fields generally, NFL teams domains where bought with surprisingly big prices.

All the domains with name as bitcion are of big value, so only big companies can buy it. .com is much preferable but it is already taken.
For others there is a way to buy it cheap. contact to domain resellers they can provide it to you at cheap price. I was in contact with one reseller who was selling the domains at $2,46 but now he left that business.

although the price was $10 for domain bitcoin.ga I still was not interested. yeah I am more interested in using the domain com.

.com has a monoploy though it really shouldn't matter as its just an address. But yeah i have had to pick a .com for my own website business because 99% of people seem to like the .com branding.

It highly depends. There are indeed domain traders that register a bunch of crappy domains and are asking beyond insane price for them. These guys won't sell anything.

They do sell, it is just rare. But often enough they turn a profit. They are the low lifes of the squatting industry.

Domainers who charge a fair price and lower when it doesn't sell, those domainers I don't mind and don't consider them to be squatters. I consider them to be protecting domains I may want but haven't yet thought of from the squatters.

Well, all sorts of people are being attracted by this "nowadays not very profitable" industry for the average person. Renewal costs will make them let the majority of their domains expire after the first year since no one is interested in them. They will be available for the public again.

So someone has bought these obscure TLD's and now they are reselling them for $5000 a pop. There must be some really gullible people that would fall for this or else they won't be doing such a stunt  Grin

The way domain squatting works, you register a bunch cheap and then ask a very high price.

It only takes one sale at a really high price for you to easily pay the reg / rereg fees for all the domains that didn't sell *and* make a profit.

Don't buy from squatters.

Looking at the insane prices these domain squatters charge, I find it hard to believe they will be able to sell one of their domains. They will end up paying more in renewal fees at the end of the year considering some of them have hundreds of domains. It will cost them more than they earn.

It highly depends. There are indeed domain traders that register a bunch of crappy domains and are asking beyond insane price for them. These guys won't sell anything. But there are also domain traders with a great portfolio where they make a few domain sales some times worth tens of thousands of Dollars.

Nowadays registrars are squatters too. They simply register/buy the best domains before they are even open to the public for purchasing. They ask thousands of Dollars for good domains with shitty extensions that barely any one can use. It has proven to be a very lucrative market for them.

There are some registry premium domains whis are sold by their respective registry for a higher price.

Yeah I don't go for those either, no badly how much I want the domain.

They also usually have a higher renewal fee so it is constant tax you are paying to the registry - giving them your hard-earned money when they did nothing.

striptease.video is an example - $2,500 USD / yr (even more at that ripoff place godaddy).

I guess the .video TLD hasn't heard that porn websites really aren't that profitable. Ridiculous.

Registry premium domains are
a select list of domain names
that are sold at a premium
price set by the Central
Registry. The Central Registries
for these domains charge a
premium registration price due
to the estimated higher value
of the domain name.

If you search various tlds,almost all are taken for bitcoin or the remaining ones are priced high
