Nobody wants them; Rage purchased domain; Pay auction wins in installments; Tokenizing robots.ai?; Check-out time is never
Hi there, Another Monday, let's roll! Here are the most interesting 5️⃣ domain tweets from last week. Have a great week, Mike P.S. I publish my best posts and opinions in Cyger Says every Friday morning. #1️⃣ Nobody wants them
"I buy when things are low and nobody wants them. I keep them until they go up and people are crazy to get them. That is, I believe, the secret of all successful business." – Henrietta "Hetty" Howland Robinson Green (November 21, 1834 – July 3, 1916), American businesswoman and financier known as "the richest woman in America" during the Gilded Age.
The investors sitting on the most valuable .ai domains today bought them when nobody wanted them. Well, to be fair, some people wanted them but not a ton. For example, @AmmarKubba said that he bought Wisdom.ai for $5,105 in 2018. That was a lot of money back then for a domain you had to pay $140 per two years to renew. And then, again, he spent $2,114 in last year to buy Wafer.ai. In case you're living under a rock, Ammar sold Wisdom.ai for $750,000 and Wafer.ai for $99,900 -- both recently. And, yes, someone clicked the BIN button on Wafer.ai. Wafer.ai was discussed on the latest @DomainSherpa: https://domainsherpa.com/dsr10232025/ #2️⃣ Rage purchased domain
My mom bought me my first domain, where I built my first little corner of the internet. After she passed away last year, I missed the renewal emails, someone bought it, and won’t sell it back. So I rage-bought cristina.com. Mom would’ve approved the upgrade. ❤️💻
@AndrewRosener talked about this on the same @DomainSherpa show as above (https://domainsherpa.com/dsr10232025/). Drew had it priced at $150,000, she negotiated, and he sold it for $95,000. Listen to the show to hear why Drew didn't hold out for $150,000 because "every you have to explain a domain name, the value goes down). Very true. #3️⃣ Pay auction wins in installments
I had no idea that @Dynadot offered this for auction wins! The minimum order cost for installment payments is $100 USD. The minimum number of installments is 2. Expired Auction orders have a max installment limit of 10 months. Your initial payment will include 15% down payment plus the 1st installment. I'm sure there are subtleties I've not mentioned. I have not tried it. Do your own due diligence before trying, and let me know what you think when you do. #4️⃣ Tokenizing robots.ai?
Got two unsolicited offers on my .AI name in the span of 2 weeks - one for $50, one for $11,000. The Web3 degenerate in me says: screw it, let’s token it, tighten the spread, build a real order book, then spin up synthetics for liquid staking and perps with 5–100x leverage. (Translation: more liquidity, more composability, more fun.) The Web2 domainer in me says: just get me top dollar. I’ll take cash, wire, USDC, Bitcoin, or a couple of goats if they come with yield. Either way, the market’s waking up. Who’s with me? ![]() ![]()
We need to dogfood our own businesses. And I’d like to see a real-world case study. If you didn’t immediately tokenize it, it would make me wonder what’s wrong with Doma.
I'm going to be really disappointed if Fred, the CEO of @D3inc and maker of the @DomaProtocol, doesn't use Doma to tokenize his robots.ai domain name. 🤣 Check-out time is never
I love @spaceship. We're keeping our domains there. But... TIL when transferring our portfolio that there's no Bulk Transfer Out yet 😅
