Domain Speculating an Intelligent Risk? (As part of a money system)

[Dignium]

Overlooked Money System idea, is buying cheap to carry domain names an intelligent risk?

And by Intelligent, you have a strategy like: You buy & hold domain names that aren't taken - a few four/five letter dotcoms, some .coms with african words & south asian words for common things (you anticipate the rise of the african & india/pakastani middle class), domains for international events 3-4 decades into the future (e.g. 2052olympics.com), and some 3 syllable words for coming megatrends (like looptickets.com or NotByAI.com).

Buy them cheap, hold them cheap. It should only take one four-figure deal to cover a decades worth of carrying costs of your domain names. One five-figure deal to make profit and get all your seed money back, and payback the initial time investment, even 10 years down the road. Close a six- or seven figure domain sale and you've hit a jackpot (six and seven figure domain sales today are once in a blue moon).

Scale this to carry thousands of domains for the same cost as holding 100 of them through a name server (run your own hosting server?).

Long-game Domain Flipping, what fake gurus preach as a get rich easy scheme to sidewalkers could be an intelligent risk component of your fastlane money system, provided the long EV is lucrative.

I used to do domain parking, at a peak of 500 domain names at one point. A lot of it is hit-and-miss. You don't really know what will take off and make revenue and what will not (even if it seems like a slam dunk). I only had about 20 money makers from the whole thing, which I kept and let everything else expire. Big brands will try to sue you too. The obvious names are taken, so you need to get creative with it.

Overall, not a great ROI for your time (in my experience).

My first gut response tells me: No, dont do it.
