Domain names mean everything. You're not going to go to a site jasdflkjsdalkfoie78f90asdujfklk328fd89vkjsdahflujah.com to buy anything it doesn't matter how SEO ranked it is.
Check out flippa...

Website    Price    Bids    Ending
Stimulation.com    $1,350    7    6 days
Stimulation.com Domain Name For Sale - Premium Domain - One Word!
mushroom.com    $1,200    5    29 days
MUSHROOM.COM - SUPER DOMAIN
Enemy.com    $2,000    4    29 days
Enemy.com Domain Name For Sale - Premium Domain - One Word!

3 domains, nothing on them selling over $1k each.

Yeah and that's because they have better names lol.
Most of the Internet hasn't even heard of bitcoin, not to mention its name in abbreviated form ('btc').

terms such as 'mushroom' and 'enemy' above are much more popular than 'btc' so they will sell for a lot more

I don't think the OP's domain is worth more than $10-20.

Agreed that those are premium names, but buywithbtc isn't to bad either, its not premium like bitcoin.com is but all I was saying is if you're searching google.com buywithbtc is a good domain to have if you're targeting people trying to buy stuff with bitcoin.
As of right now its probably not worth the $1000s the others are, that's why I suggested holding it. In a few years once bitcoin is huge, it will be worth tons.

I own the site buywithbtc.com and am just running a kind of experiment with it to see if in the future it would generate significant enough revenue. Although, I bought the name with the intention of selling it. If you guys could please say what you think its worth-what someone who has an idea of what kind of site they would create w/it I would really appreciate it. I can already see the smartass answers so please keep them to a minimum, they're not that funny.

I would not pay anything for it. I'd go register a new name for almost nothing instead of paying you for this one.

amazon.com - rubbish domain name, hugely successful. They never paid for books.com
ebay.com - rubbish domain name, hugely successful. They never paid for auctions.com
google.com - rubbish domain name, hugely successful. They never paid for search.com
Facebook.com - OK domain name, hugely successful. They never paid for friends.com or anything less silly sounding.
Wikipedia.com - Awkward domain name, hugely successful. They never paid for encyclopedia.com
paypal.com - This company owns x.com but doesn't even use it.
sex.com - The center of a huge legal battle for years because it's such a 'cool' name. If it's so cool how come it's not used for anything noticeable right now?

You obviously have no idea how website rankings and seo work.

If you're searching for monster trucks and you go to google.com and type in monster trucks would your first choice be to go to the listed www.monstertrucks.com or bigmanstantruckandshop.com

Or if you go to google and search what can I buy with btc, and you see a domain that's www.coolgadgetstobuy.com and they accept bitcoins, are you going there or a site thats www.buywithbtc.com? Probably buywithbtc.com

No, he obviously DOES have a clue. Take this domain names scam to Digital Point or wherever the superficial, shilly agreement that domain names are valuable BEFORE being developed is still unpierced.

A "good" domain name has ZERO value. I know it hurts, with all those "portfolios" of "valuable" domain names you're paying thousands a year to maintain, but it's a fact. Nothing successful was ever made around a "good" domain name, and it never will be made either, precisely because technology is about new things, not about old things.

And no, I'm sick and tired of btc bla bla and that dumbass icon, to the point that if a new site has either I tend to close the page. I bet you the above great domain name against a bitten donut that I'm not the only one.

I stand by what I said.

I value the domain name at $500+ - if you put it on Flippa.com I reckon it would do splendidly .....

Keep it hosted. Add it to Google Webmaster account.

Slap some wicked SEO terms in the meta-tags and over the next few weeks - see the rankings rise. Nuff said.

If I wanted to advertise MY BTC related business website on buywithbtc.com - how much would that cost me per week / month / year? In BTC? :-)

i think you should let amazon know they have failed in the SEO department.

Everyone knows what Amazon is, and they spend hundreds of millions letting those who don't know, know.

But if you didn't know what Amazon is, and you searched google.com for 'books' are you going to go to Amazon.com, or books.com?

I like the domain name - its short/snappy and a .com.

I would consider paying $500 dollars for it realistically - and thats *without* a web site.

Haha, I think you're in perfect health. I'd sell it to you for 20 BTC.

If what your selling is just the Domain name, nothing else, the above is probably about it. It's a nice name, but you could get something similar enough for your usually yearly fee.

If your selling (in the future), a profit making business, that runs on that domain, with a lot of traffic and all the code etc that comes with that domain, that is different and would be purely speculation until it exists.

Advice: Build it up, so that it is a fully working website and/or business that reflects what you'd expect on that site, then maybe it's value would be worth more than the above mentioned price.

Good advice, thank you. And no I do not buy domain names with the intention of selling them. Thats the first one I ever registered, and I just did another one for another project I'm working on. I was just curious. I think I remember hearing the domain name "business.com" sold for over $1 million.
