If Someone Achieved Better Results…

Posted on 09 May 2013 by Andrei

Maybe you’re the world’s most amazing person and feel nothing but joy whenever someone achieves better results than you but realistically speaking, it’s perfectly understandable that you’ll be envious. And you know what, there’s nothing wrong with envy as long as you channel that energy in a positive manner.

Is Accepting Bitcoins Worth It?

Posted on 14 April 2013 by Andrei

I recently thought about whether or not DomainingServers.com should accept Bitcoins and ultimately decided against it. For now, it’s just not worth it and here’s why:

-50% in One Day

Posted on 10 April 2013 by Andrei

As I mentioned yesterday when explaining that Bitcoins went from $0.08 to $200+ since 2010, no price evolution would surprise me. Wouldn’t surprise me to see them at $2,000, wouldn’t surprise me to see them at $20.

From $0.08/Bitcoin to $200+/Bitcoin

Posted on 09 April 2013 by Andrei

… for those of you who thought domains generate the highest returns 🙂

I admit, I don’t own any Bitcoins and my knowledge as to how this stuff works is marginal but those who do obviously generated some great returns. If my research is accurate, the price was $0.08/Bitcoin back in July 2010 and at the moment of writing, we’re at $200+. In other words, a 2500x+ price increase in less than 3 years.

Don’t Take Existing Customers for Granted

Posted on 07 April 2013 by Andrei

As a domainer and/or entrepreneur, I’m sure you’ve noticed this a lot: most companies do everything they can to attract new customers but often end up taking existing ones for granted. Something along the lines of “you’re already with us, so why bother giving you a good deal?”.

I Don’t Quite Understand the “Bitcoin = Safe Haven” Argument

Posted on 04 April 2013 by Andrei

As a domainer, I’m reasonably good at spotting investment opportunities. And yes, Bitcoin is/was a great investment opportunity. Even someone like me who never used Bitcoins (I never touched Bitcoins because let’s face it, the day only has 24 hours and) can easily tell that as an investment opportunity, it performed marvelously. Those who bought low obviously did very well, I wouldn’t be surprised to see new highs and so on. But why people use this price development as an argument in favor of the fact that Bitcoin is a safe haven is beyond me to be honest.

Linux Mint

Posted on 02 April 2013 by Andrei

Since this is a domaining blog and not a blog about programming or things like that, I know most of you guys don’t want to have anything to do with Linux since it’s perceived as waaaaaay too complex and I understand that. Most people simply want an operating system that works out of the box, fair enough.
