Why Retail Trading Is a Scam

Since domaining has to do with “making money on the interwebz”, it should come as no surprise that the allure of trading riches got to domain investors as well, oftentimes leading to not just financial but also personal ruin. Just like gambling. That’s why, as many of you know, I am trying to promote my NeverTrade.org non-profit initiative as best I can. In a nutshell, NeverTrade.org is an open letter to the internet which explains,…

The Top Mistakes Domainers Who (Try to) Develop Make

Had a really interesting livestream chat with DNForum.com’s Helmuts Meskonis on Monday about what I consider to be the top mistakes domainers tend to make after over a decade of experience in the domain space. The conversation had a nice flow, which is why the chat was extended beyond the time we originally had in mind for it, a very good thing because it enabled us to dig quite deep. Fortunately, the discussion has been…

Plain Ol’ Supply and Demand: Domaining Edition

The (in)famous economic principle of supply and demand is pivotal in shaping the market dynamics of virtually any tradable asset, including domain names. This principle helps investors understand the fluctuations in domain prices and market availability. By applying insights from supply and demand, domainers can make more informed decisions and strategically position their investments for optimal returns. Supply and demand is an economic model that explains price formation in a market. According to this model,…

The MJ.com IPO Is Now Live on Rally

Edited: aaaaaaand it’s gone, heh, already sold out! Edit #2: I’ve just published a One Minute Economics animation about how AI might take your job (hint: it’s not what most people think), click HERE to take a look and if you like it, please help me spread the word about my work! I have been paying attention to the MJ.com IPO and also follow Andrew Rosener on Twitter, so I found out a few hours…

Owning MJ.com for $500?!?

Now there’s a headline that makes your heart pound! Those who watch DomainSherpa videos, more specifically their most recent one, will know exactly what I am referring to: the fact that it’s possible to own a percentage of MJ.com, as long as you purchase what seems to be their minimum of 25 shares at a $500 grand total. I follow Andrew Rosener on Twitter/X and according to a tweet he’s published less than an hour…

Do You Have Decent *Tangible* Asset Exposure?

Those like yours truly, who live on “the internets” and obviously understand the value of digital assets, should not dare look down upon the physical world. And let’s face it, the perspective of the average internet person (from IT employees to online entrepreneurs and investors) is oftentimes delusionally biased toward the online dimension. A false sense of superiority takes over. And an equally false dichotomy emerges, with you believing you have to pick a side:…

“Domaining Is Dead” – AI Edition

Spoiler: it’s not. On the contrary, perhaps, as I will try to explain throughout this article. And I will start with my main worry: the fact that more and more, our experience on this planet is becoming dependent on an ever-decreasing number of mega-corporations. Consolidation of power and resources on steroids. On the surface, this statement might seem ludicrous. After all, we have so many choices nowadays that it becomes downright overwhelming. What to watch…

Why Most Domain Investors (Especially Flippers) Are Bad Developers

… or why a skill set that enabled you to succeed at one type of activity is more of a disadvantage for another. If there is one idea my recent GiganticWebsites.com journey reinforced, it’s that the average domain investor tends to approach Web development with an unrealistic attitude. Right off the bat, I’m not saying this to be “edgy” or criticize. I’m merely explaining a phenomenon I have come across in this industry for over…

Hype vs. Legitimate Disruption: Thoughts on AI, Domain Names and Real-World Potential/Limitations

Want to start my Domaining.com journey by putting a perspective on AI that I hope you will find interesting on the table, as there seems to be a fair bit of interest in this direction… for obvious reasons. My perspective, as someone who: Runs GiganticWebsites.com, where we leverage the best of what genAI has to offer so as to turn great domains like DN.org into sites with thousands of articles Is no stranger to domain…
