There is absolutely no one on here that can say there is NOTHING of any value in my portfolio. Yes there is mostly rubbish but a few with value. And that's coming from some pro's by DM.
yeah, that's because the money doesn't come so easily, you need to consider that .com was begun in about 1985 until 2000-2009 the value came to emerge, the bear market always long and painful.well so far, its more like a flourishing cactus garden. lol. I have a list of .xyz domains no one was buying. lol.
your right, but if someone sees the .com and likes the domain name so much for their website, you wouldn't think that it would take so long to choose a cheaper version. You know.yeah, that's because the money doesn't come so easily, you need to consider that .com was begun in about 1985 until 2000-2009 the value came to emerge, the bear market always long and painful.
Otherwise, I think the .eth domain has a big potential too based on ETH public blockchain, but that's really high threshold to play with, consider to have them I prefer to buy a little ETH coin and put there for like 10 years then see what happen. but the good thing is the .xyz domain also could link to ETH's DNS server or making a smart contract. I am talking about long term investment.I think for now what you are saying is right, the future of .xyz depends on how Daniel Negari promotes it, the best scenario is that the marketing is working then pushed young people to generate the same consciousness thinking that .xyz is bold and cooler than .com (because mostly they can't afford an appropriate .com domain name so trigger them to start a revolution to pull down the .com), and if that happens, your .xyz domain will become scarcity and valuable. if .xyz don't have that chance I don't know what Gtlds. has the ability to do that.
That's very wisely opinion, thanks Bob.I agree that promotion by registry, and in particular showing that real businesses are using it in significant ways, is critical to how successful .xyz is going forward.
On the positive side
On the negative side
- while still tiny compared to legacy, .xyz is doing better than almost all other new gTLDs real use wise
- having Alphabet on an .xyz is a big plus
- they have managed to keep abuse really respectable for a long time (see Spamhaus). This is quite the achievement considering that they have continued deep discounting
- the renewal cost is not unreasonable
- due to registration numbers, it has more recognition than many of the new gTLDs
- the fact that it is not an English word helps it be a more universal TLD
How I see it (my opinion)
- after years 1-2 not many high value resales
- a number of good words are premium reserved
- even compared to registration base, not an impressive number of aftermarket sales in recent years an little indication of strong trend
- some new extension proponents dislike that the TLD is not a word
Bob
- we are unrealistic to expect a sudden increase in sales rate or prices
- I think we may see a gradual pickup of sales especially in $$$ range
- correct pricing and reaching the right markets are essential here - I suspect this will be more successful outside the US
- at low acquisition prices the probabilities may make sense if you can find good words that the registry missed as premium and that have dropped
Disclosure: I personally have a handful of .xyz, but it is not more than 2% of my entire portfolio. I have one that I may develop. I continue to look at opportunities, and now and then pick up one. I have never sold an .xyz.
