Shane's Domain Auction Picks for Wednesday February 18th

Shane's Domain Auction Picks for Wednesday February 18th

February 18, 2026

I’ve preached patience and recovery hundreds of times here on DSAD opening rants. There are times to move and hit it hard, and times to wait and or recover. The new Clawdbot and Mac Mini purchasing thing is a definite watch and learn. The thought of having your own agent sitting next to you, helping with everything, is nice. The reality is that most don’t even need it. Even more don’t have a clue how to set it up safely or use it.

You’re better off getting a business AI plan with a wall for your data and personal information. Go the year with this and learn what you want to do and how to do it. I believe Apple is being smarter than people think. I believe they are waiting to see exactly where all of this is headed, letting the other companies spend the money and build things out. The irony is AI will build AI and it will cost pennies compared to now. Same with data centers and infrastructure. Let everyone toy with building the perfect setup while you are banking cash. Then you move. Meta takes out a 100 year loan. Apple sells Mac Minis to people and banks cash.

I’m not necessarily long Apple because I like bigger returns, but I think we are witnessing patience, not indecision. They are often confused with each other.

I would like to think that is what GoDaddy is doing, but I won’t. I love their expired auctions, and Afternic and Atom are the best places to sell names in the space, in my opinion. The rest of the business I’ll leave to them. I know they have an AI product, but have no idea what it does. All I care about is good APIs. I can do the rest.
