@lanius @nixCraft apparently there's a community of people who park domains as a form of investment. Buy domains people might want and sell it back at a higher price.

@nixCraft @lanius @wolfkin or, perhaps, because we aspire to do things that we don't end up having the time to manage, thus facing the annual choice of "$12 and maybe I'll do it next year?"

@purp @nixCraft @lanius nah bro, those people are fine. People who buy domains and just own them and they aren't thinking about what to do with them or maybe they are thinking about to do with them. That's an entirely different atmosphere. But I'm saying is there is a real community of people who buy domains explicitly for the purpose of reselling them at a higher value when people determine that they want the name.

@wolfkin @purp @nixCraft @lanius domain name investing is just another way to earn a living. Despite what you may have heard, there is a code of ethics for domainers. It’s frowned upon for investors to buy up a name of an established business or person. Not all domainers do that!
