| To me, the fact that none of the bigger domainers were in on the auction suggests that the hype will eventually run out.
For example, think about cars and hybrid technology. If Honda, Toyota and GM were to decide that they wouldn't back hybrid technology in cars, there's no way it would've been successful.
The big domainers are the ones who drive and sustain the hype. The fact that Alvaro won all the top six domains means that Kevin, Frank, Rick, etc. stayed out of ALL the auctions. These guys wouldn't have let all the big names go. And if these guys stayed out, then it definitely tells you something.
Keep in mind that as industry leaders, Frank, Rick, Kevin, etc. have access to a lot more inner knowledge that we guys don't have. If they stayed out, they must've stayed out for a reason. |
