					<description><![CDATA[Stop comparing domain names to the wrong things. What sets Domains apart from ALL other investments is CONTROL. Let me show the important differences. CONTROL!! what does that mean? When you buy a stock or gold, do you have control of the price? No! NONE! Same thing with Bitcoin. Do you have any control? No! [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Afternoon Folks!! This past week was a field of dreams. After a 2.5-year drought and selling no domains while Bitcoin, Crypto, NFTs and Apes ruled, their collapse has invigorated the domain industry. 2015 was my best year, booking $12.5 million in Domain earnings mostly via sales. This week was my best week ever! I booked [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Morning Folks!! Branding is about consistency. Branding is about repetition. And ultimately branding is about sales. No sales, no brand. More and more I see morons that make advertisements and commercials, and I don’t even know what the hell they’re advertising. It’s so subliminal you can’t even figure it out unless you’re paying close attention. Let’s start [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The most important lesson I have learned about buying or investing in ANYTHING is; I’d rather overpay for wonderful than get a bargain on shit. It’s safer and cheaper to buy quality. It’s a safety net. It’s smart. You can do it any way you want, but no way works better than the right way. [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Morning Folks!! Domain investing and domain flipping are basically two different businesses. Two different ways of thinking. Two different approaches. And the results are usually quite different. One is selling seaside mansions. The other is selling partially usable mobile homes. Those who sell mansions don’t talk about hold times they invest knowing the value is [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Probability versus Possibility. That is where most domainers and inexperienced folks go off the deep end. They’re in the “Anything is possible crowd.” The first problem is that the failure rate of 90%++ is ignored and not even factored in, so they have a 90% chance of getting it wrong from the getgo. They are [&#8230;]]]></description>
