We believe that Cyber-Assets will be an asset of choice as they are by nature rather illiquid. This notion that they are as vulnerable as other asset classes is TOTAL FICTION.

We believe there is a 70% probability that we are entering a protracted period of falling asset values, for years to come. The classic Bear markets are 40% to 50% declines. Structural Leverage Unwinds as we are experiencing are much deeper.

My past experience as the Marketing Analyst for the Rockefeller foundation along with my intuition tells me to tell all of you to exercise caution about panicking. It is the psychology of Bear markets that is most damaging. Try to relax and know that we will all be in the same boat and we will all get through the storm if we dont rock the boat.

GoDaddy to me, sorry to say, has been “Gone Daddy” in the interests of domainers. I’ve reported on this over and over again on my blog.

However, since they’re number ONE in domain registrations, what’s a few domains given up unjustly when they have millions more, plus an upsell to rival a queen bee with a horde of bees in taking over a hole in your chimney.

Howard

Excellent point, Godaddy conceded jurisdiction, the major issue of the dispute, by issuing the Certs.

Then they tried to play the good guy role at TRAFFIC.

Michael, Howard: I agree that this isn’t as good as what Moniker is doing. And it is very unfortunate that the government is using GoDaddy’s actions to further it’s cause. Not good.
