Brought a New Bike, Bullet 🏍️
Alhamdulillah, I bought a new Bullet bike, and it is one of the happiest and proudest moments of my life. I bought it with my own hard-earned money and paid for it in full. For me, this bike is more than just a vehicle—it is the result of my hard work and dedication.
What makes this achievement even more special is that I am the first person among my friends and in my local area, at my age, to buy a bike with money I earned myself. It feels amazing to achieve something like this on my own, and it motivates me to keep working hard and chase even bigger goals.
I was able to achieve this because of the domain industry, and the best part is that I bought this bike with the money from a single deal.
I am very grateful to the domain industry for the opportunities it has given me. Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey. This is just the beginning, InshaAllah.
Thanks again to the domain industry.

Have we achieved peak AI hype when a two-word, 19-letter, 7-syllable .com domain name sells for six figures with no negotiation whatsoever?
Thank you to @GoDaddy's @Afternic team for building a brand and platform that end users trust enough to spend that much on https://t.co/CJ4Djyo83h without blinking. Or, maybe it was an Agentic AI agent that cannot blink at all? 🤷♂️

We acquired https://t.co/Dmf8pCkFY9 for $2,000,000 to bring you the next generation token launchpad and blockchain.
Current launchpads drain you with hidden fees in the form of MEV, bundles, side wallets, priority fees, insiders and high frequency trading terminals.
We estimate there is a hidden cost of 30% per transaction when factoring in these variables on existing launchpads.
That is why it feels like it's impossible to win.
Haste is coming to fix that.
- Proprietary chain built for cheap and fast transactions
- 100ms block times

Built for simplicity and fairness, to bring the next billion on-chain
As firstly discovered by @GeorgeKirikos,
https://t.co/4DTZp4Z41r was sold for $1,000,000 USD in Q1 2026 by @weedmaps (WM Technology). Seller got hit by a UDRP in 2025 after turning down a $200k offer from Highlevel Inc., Dallas, TX. Complainant lost, then purchased it for 5x.
I don't see the sale of https://t.co/whoCGqWyrC listed in @NameBio or @DNJournal, but Mercury Systems reported the sale of the domain name last year.

If you see it elsewhere, it's probably a parasitic copycat blogger looking for attention.
I’m a hobbyist domainer and I spend most my time in my day job. I was originally sceptical about the high end value for domains. Here’s what changed my mind. I work for a US tech company and it is totally normal to spend 250-500k on a sales event, 200-500k for employee exit (excluding c-suite), 200k-1m on management consulting for business transformation, etc. All of which are one time costs, some of which are adding zero to EBITDA or growth. Yet they are approved routinely and not questioned. Then compare this to the cost of acquiring the quality exact match (dictionary word or not) business brand. Firstly, as an asset you can amortize the buy costs (so a 1m buy over 10 years costs now 100k pa). It will sit it on the balance sheet, and it will be a value if your business is being sold. It can also assist your defence of intellectual property claims / applications. When you consider the tools a business has to mitigate the costs, as well as the advantages, it signals how often we undersell the names we hold. Just a thought
My account is old. It was created in 2015, or maybe even earlier. I do not remember exactly anymore, and I have no place to check it now. Moreover, I bought domains through them for more than 80k dollars. I also sold domains through them before and received payouts to my bank details.
Then there was a break for a couple of years. After this break, this was the very first sale, and you can see the result. So my account is already more than 10 years old, and a large amount of money has passed through it, both from buying and selling domains.
⚠️Sedo satıcılardan detaylı kişisel bilgilerini talep etmeye başladı. Ayrıca kimlik, ehliyet veya pasaportun bir kopyasını istiyor.
⚠️Sedo bu bilgilerin güvenliğini garanti etmiyor. Ödeme şirketi Adyen ise bu bilgileri üçünçü parti şirketlerle paylaşabileceğini belirtiyor.
Today I sold a domain on @Sedo for $3,000. Only after the sale, Sedo triggered "seller verification" through Adyen at https://t.co/EO7KKc5lsO.
The verification form asks for my legal first and last name exactly as on my ID, date of birth, country of residence, email, phone number, full residential address, postal code, city, and a copy of a passport, national ID, or driver’s license.
This is the kind of document set a bank asks for when opening an account. But I am not opening a bank account, taking a loan, requesting credit, or initiating a suspicious payment. I am simply receiving proceeds from a domain I already owned and sold.
If there are concerns about the origin of the funds used to buy the domain, then this level of verification should be applied to the buyer and the buyer's payment method - not to the seller. The buyer is the party sending money into the transaction. I am the existing domain holder receiving a payout.
Sedo already required me to confirm control of the domain through DNS using a TXT record. For a domain marketplace, that should be enough to establish that I control the domain and am authorized to sell it.
Sedo also already has my SEPA payout bank account in the account settings. The bank beneficiary name matches the first and last name in my Sedo account. For a payout to my own bank account, that should be the privacy-respecting verification method: bank beneficiary/name match, payout details, account history, domain ownership, and, if really needed, bank confirmation - not passport upload by default.
The timing is the worst part. I spent a lot of time listing 22,000+ 4L .com domains on Sedo and changing DNS records to prove ownership/control. Then, after the first sale, I am suddenly told that to receive a relatively small $3,000 payout I need to provide the same level of personal information usually required to open a bank account.
If bank-level KYC is mandatory for seller payouts, it should be disclosed clearly before sellers onboard thousands of domains, not after a sale has already happened and the platform owes the seller money.
Sedo's own terms say that "data protection cannot be universally guaranteed" when data is transmitted through public networks, and that Sedo makes no warranty that its services will be "uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free":

Adyen's own privacy materials say that sensitive personal information such as a passport, ID document or driver’s license may be disclosed to identity verification providers, including credit reference agencies. Their compliance materials also mention third-party identification, screening and verification services, including credit reporting agencies and open banking providers, automated systems such as machine learning models, and analysis for statistical, strategic and scientific purposes. Identity documents and biometric identifiers may typically be stored for 5 years, and business relationship data for 7 years:

https://t.co/AlnPddTz8Y
So no, I am not going to feed a third-party financial verification/scoring ecosystem with my passport just to receive a $3,000 domain payout. If their terms give them the legal right to disclose and use this data across such providers and systems, I have to assume they may use that right. That does not motivate me to share my documents. It does the opposite.
Once an ID document leaks, you cannot simply "change" it like a password. The risk is permanent. We still do not live in a digital prison where every marketplace can demand passport scans by default for a basic payout.
This is bad practice and unfair timing. @Sedo should either disclose mandatory KYC before sellers invest time listing and verifying domains, or offer a privacy-respecting alternative for legitimate sellers: DNS ownership/control proof, bank beneficiary verification or bank confirmation - without forcing government ID upload as the default path.
Want to build risk models, scoring systems or analytics using my personal documents? Pay me directly for that data. Do not hide it behind forced "seller verification" after my domain has already been sold.
Already have a buyer or seller?

They were the ones who never sold the right name.
