how i bought a crypto domain for $16, told a multi-billion dollar CEX to kick rocks, and negotiated my way from a $500 offer to selling it for half a million dollars: 🧵
- For the past 8 months, a billionaire exchange owner has been threatening & harassing me into giving up a domain that I’ve owned since 2017 Binance's CZ, arguably the largest proponent of decentralization, has resorted to centralized means in order to steal a domain from me: 🧵
- Replying to @cryptofelonI will continue working on getting my domain unlocked and retaining ownership. I will not let @binance simply rob me of my domain I’m disgusted by CZ’s fake support of decentralization. A billionaire, trying to rob me via centralization I will not go quietly into the good night
- Replying to @cryptofelonand then, i had it. $435,000. from starting at $500 -> $200k -> $350k, i now traded a $16 domain for $435k. i had done it 🎉
- Replying to @cryptofelonThis is pretty low for a number of reasons. 1) @cz_binance is a self proclaimed proponent of decentralization, yet CZ chooses to abuse centralized powers in order to steal my domain from my own hands. What does that say about his belief in decentralization?
- Replying to @sulz_knope. i'm a software engineer, i write code for a living -- but i'm a felon living in the united states. most places won't hire someone like me. mixed bag. not really comfy, just ballsy. what was i going to lose? $16?
- Replying to @cryptofelonYou’ll see that they also claim I’m using the site for unfair exploitation and opportunistic monetary gain — while in the sentence before that, proceeds to say that I’m not using the website whatsoever and has no active content on it. Which is it? How can it be both, Binance?
- New highly profitable MEV method: Scan body cam footage for seed phrases. If you manage to find a wallet that wasn't drained by a cop first, congrats!
00:00 - Replying to @cryptofelonBut here, Binance is trying to paint a different narrative (by referencing THEIR OWN attempt at purchasing my domain). To back this false narrative up, Binance had their executive Min Lin block me in hopes of scrubbing/obfuscating his messages to me Luckily, I already saved 'em
- Replying to @cryptofelonLooking through all of the trademark registrations provided by Binance, you may notice... Filing/registration/priority dates - not a single one before 2018 Remember how I had registered my domain on October 27th, 2017? My domain predates any and all trademarks filed by Binance
- Replying to @cryptofelonAs of July 5th, Binance has already started their attempt at a hostile takeover of my domain. My domain is now locked, and cannot be updated nor transferred.
