    Gold? Who uses that anymore? If the new TLD operators had invested $185K in Bitcoin last year instead of these stupid TLD’s they would now have $2.6 million in cold, hard, Bitcoin.

    Well, I do know about another objection that was put in at the last minute. I guess they will all come out with time.
