Introduction: The Return of a Familiar Face
Regular readers of Defequer may remember a certain portfolio we roasted not long ago—a collection of seven domains from a seller named John Nguyen, with combined fantasy pricing of $213,450.
That roast covered:
2mesothelioma.comat $12,500360crypto.xyzat $9,950AccountingDigest.comat $49,500AdoptMyChild.comat $19,500Airjet.xyzat $17,500BakeForFun.comat $29,500BestDealCar.comat $75,000
Our conclusion then: a portfolio of generic keywords, questionable TLDs, and prices 10-100x market value, with zero chance of any sale.
Well, John is back. And he’s brought friends.
BitcoinSelection.com at $175,000.
BitcoinQuestion.com at $99,995.
Two domains, $274,995 combined asking price, and the same fundamental problems as the last batch: generic constructions, no brand value, and prices that exist in a vacuum.
Let’s dive in.
The Defequer Analysis: Why Bitcoin + Generic Noun Doesn’t Equal Millions
Factor 1: The “Bitcoin” Gold Rush – Three Years Too Late
Bitcoin peaked in late 2021 at nearly $69,000 per coin. The crypto mania that accompanied that run created a feeding frenzy for Bitcoin-related domains. Every combination imaginable was registered:
- BitcoinThis.com
- BitcoinThat.com
- BitcoinEveryPossibleWord.com
That was 2021. This is 2026.
The crypto market has matured (or crashed, depending on your perspective). The frenzy has cooled. And the domains that were registered during that period are now mostly sitting in portfolios, waiting for buyers who never came.
BitcoinSelection.com was registered when? 2020 – It’s now competing with thousands of similar domains, all trying to attract the same vanishingly small pool of buyers.
The problem with trend-chasing: You have to be ahead of the trend, not behind it. Registering them late and pricing them at six figures in 2026 is not investing—it’s wishful thinking.
Factor 2: The “Generic Noun” Problem
Both domains follow the same formula: Bitcoin + Generic Noun.
Let’s look at each:
- What is a “Bitcoin selection”? A curated list of Bitcoin investments? A selection of Bitcoin-related products? A portfolio of different Bitcoins? (There’s only one Bitcoin.)
- The phrase doesn’t clearly communicate anything. It’s two words that happen to be next to each other, not a coherent concept.
- Slightly better. A site for Bitcoin questions—like a FAQ, a forum, or an educational resource. That has some conceptual coherence.
- But is that a $100,000 concept? Absolutely not.
The problem: Generic nouns attached to “Bitcoin” create domains that are descriptive but not distinctive. They describe a category, not a brand. And categories have limited commercial value because they can’t be trademarked, can’t be owned exclusively, and don’t build emotional connection with users.
Factor 3: The End-User Question – Who Would Buy These?
Let’s imagine the potential buyers for these domains.
For BitcoinSelection.com:
| Potential Buyer | Why It Won’t Happen |
|---|---|
| A crypto exchange | They already have a brand (Coinbase, Binance, Kraken). They don’t need “Bitcoin Selection.” |
| An investment platform | They’d want something more authoritative, like “BitcoinInvesting.com” or a brandable name. |
| A news site | They’d want something broader, like “BitcoinNews.com” or “CryptoDaily.com.” |
| A review site | Possible, but they’d build on a cheaper domain or a .io. $175,000 is not in their budget. |
| A domain investor | Not at this price. They’d wait for the seller to come to their senses. |
For BitcoinQuestion.com:
| Potential Buyer | Why It Won’t Happen |
|---|---|
| A Q&A site | Like Stack Exchange for Bitcoin. Possible in theory, but they’d start small and cheap. |
| A forum | Similar story—forums are built, not bought at six figures. |
| An educational platform | Maybe, but again, $100,000 is an insane budget for a domain when you could build on a $12 name. |
| A chatbot/AI company | Possibly, but they’d want something shorter and more brandable. |
The brutal truth: there is no natural buyer for either of these domains at these prices. The companies that could afford $175,000 already have brands. The companies that need a domain can’t afford $175,000. This is the classic “no man’s land” of domain pricing.
Factor 4: The Search Volume Reality
Bitcoin-related search terms still have volume. People search for:
- “Bitcoin price”
- “Bitcoin news”
- “Bitcoin investing”
- “How to buy Bitcoin”
But do they search for “Bitcoin selection”? No. Do they search for “Bitcoin question”? Occasionally, but those searches lead to forums and Q&A sites, not to domains for sale.
The search intent mismatch:
BitcoinSelection.comsuggests commercial intent (choosing Bitcoin products or investments)BitcoinQuestion.comsuggests informational intent (getting questions answered)
Neither has strong commercial buyer intent. People searching for these terms are not looking to spend money—they’re looking for information. That makes the domains less valuable to businesses, because the traffic doesn’t convert to sales.
Factor 5: The Portfolio Pattern – Quantity Over Quality
John Nguyen’s portfolio strategy is becoming clear:
- Register or acquire large numbers of generic keyword domains
- Focus on trending topics (crypto, AI, health)
- Price them all at fantasy levels (mid-five to low-six figures)
- List them everywhere (Afternic, Atom, etc.)
- Wait for a miracle
This is the “spray and pray” approach to domain investing. It works approximately never.
The math doesn’t work:
- If you have 100 domains at $10 renewal each, that’s $1,000/year in costs
- If you sell one domain per year at $100,000, you’re profitable (barely)
- But you won’t sell one per year, because fantasy pricing doesn’t attract buyers
- So you lose money every year on renewals
- Eventually, you let domains expire
- The cycle repeats
John Nguyen appears to be deep in this cycle. The FlyDiscount.com roast was just the beginning. Now we have Bitcoin domains to add to the collection.

The “Bitcoin” Premium Fallacy
There’s a persistent belief among certain domainers that any domain containing “Bitcoin” is automatically valuable. This belief is rooted in the 2021 boom, when crypto-related domains did sell for significant prices.
But that was then. The market has changed.
What actually makes a Bitcoin domain valuable?
- Short and brandable:
Bitcoin.comis valuable (sold for millions).BTC.comis valuable. - High-commercial keywords:
BitcoinInvesting.commight have value.BitcoinWallet.commight have value. - Established traffic and history: A domain with backlinks and age has inherent value.
What doesn’t make a Bitcoin domain valuable:
- Adding a generic noun to “Bitcoin” and hoping for the best
- Registering it in 2020s and pricing it at six figures in 2026
- Assuming that because Bitcoin exists, every combination must be worth money
BitcoinSelection.com and BitcoinQuestion.com fall firmly into the “doesn’t” category.
The Familiar Seller Pattern
We’re starting to recognize John Nguyen’s Modus Operandi:
| Domain | Price | Problem |
|---|---|---|
| FlyDiscount.com | $495,000 | Generic two-word .com, fantasy price |
| 2mesothelioma.com | $12,500 | Medical term with a confusing “2” |
| 360crypto.xyz | $9,950 | Trend-chasing on a bad TLD |
| AccountingDigest.com | $49,500 | Decent domain, 10x too high |
| AdoptMyChild.com | $19,500 | Ethically problematic |
| Airjet.xyz | $17,500 | Good word, wrong TLD |
| BakeForFun.com | $29,500 | Casual phrase, commercial pricing |
| BestDealCar.com | $75,000 | The “best” trap at scale |
| BitcoinSelection.com | $175,000 | Crypto trend-chasing, generic construction |
| BitcoinQuestion.com | $99,995 | Same problem, slightly lower price |
Total from these 10 domains: $1,003,445 in fantasy pricing.
If John Nguyen sold all these domains at asking price, he’d be a millionaire. But he won’t, because fantasy pricing doesn’t attract buyers. It just attracts attention from people like us.
What These Domains Are Actually Worth
Let’s do the math that John Nguyen should have done.
Let’s do the math that John Nguyen should have done.
- Generic two-word .com with “Bitcoin” and a weak noun
- No history, no traffic, no brand value
- Registered during or after the crypto boom
- Competing with thousands of similar domains
Realistic price range: $500 – $2,000
BitcoinQuestion.com:
- Slightly better concept, still generic
- Potential for a Q&A site or educational platform
- But those buyers don’t have $100,000 budgets
Realistic price range: $800 – $3,000
Combined realistic value: $1,300 – $5,000
Combined asking price: $274,995
That’s a 55x to 210x markup. At this ratio, John would need to find buyers willing to pay 50-200 times what the market says these domains are worth.
Those buyers don’t exist.

Final Word:
“John Nguyen is back with more inventory from the ‘register everything with Bitcoin in it’ school of domain investing. BitcoinSelection.com at $175,000 and BitcoinQuestion.com at $99,995 are two more entries in a portfolio already overflowing with fantasy pricing. The crypto boom is over. The domains are generic. The prices are delusional. And the seller seems determined to keep adding to the collection, hoping that volume will eventually substitute for value. It won’t. These domains aren’t worth $275,000 combined. They’re worth maybe $5,000 on the absolute best day, to the absolute right buyer. And that buyer isn’t coming.”
What Should Actually Happen
If John Nguyen is reading this (and we hope he is):
- Stop registering generic Bitcoin domains. The opportunity, if it ever existed, is long gone.
- Drop both prices by 95%. List them at $8,750 and $5,000 respectively. Even those might be optimistic, but at least they’re in the conversation.
- Consider a portfolio-wide reality check. Ten domains, $1 million in fantasy pricing, zero sales. The data is telling you something.
- Research actual crypto domain sales. Look at NameBio. See what Bitcoin domains actually sell for. Hint: it’s not six figures for generic constructions.
- Focus on quality over quantity. One good domain at $20,000 is worth more than 100 bad ones at $500,000.
For buyers: If you see a Bitcoin domain you like from this seller, make an offer at 1-2% of asking. The seller might be ready to deal after reading this roast. And if they’re not, wait. They’re not selling at these prices.
The Bottom Line
BitcoinSelection.com and BitcoinQuestion.com join the Defequer Hall of Shame as the latest entries in the John Nguyen portfolio of fantasy pricing.
Two domains. $274,995 combined asking price. Maybe $5,000 in actual value. A seller who keeps adding inventory, hoping that volume will eventually create value.
It won’t.
Defequer Rating: 💩💩💩💩💩 (5/5 shits – the persistence of the fantasy pricing pattern across multiple domains earns top marks in the delusion Olympics.)
