Once I sold a domain name for $10K. Of course I spent it immediately. Bitcoin didn’t exist yet and I needed the cash to move to a better place. I could have raked in so much money back then if I had just kept up with it.

Onward and upward 😅
$10k wow
I bought one for a business I had for $2.5k which I no longer use lol
The crazy part is the dude who bought it never used the domain. That was so long ago you could just register any word you wanted as a dot-com for free and Internic would send you a paper invoice in the mail a week or two later. You had 90 days to pay it or they’d take it back. I had like 50 invoices sitting on my desk and whenever I sold a domain I’d pay the registration fee and transfer it to the buyer.
Domain flipping was my first foray in to entrepreneurship! I was too late to make good money but I was profitable for the 8-9 months I did it as a side gig. £500 was my best
Seeing that someone sold the domain business.com for $7.5 dollars in 1999 activated the circuits that led me to discover bitcoin earlier than most of my friends.
