A few weeks ago most likely this domain was as useless as $8 bucks in value but when the news media started talking about it the domain value shot to hundreds of dollars. If the owner was a speculative buyer he has made a kill. The domain is now so valuable that it has gone past the price Facebook paid for their domain-

In 2005, Facebook allegedly paid $200,000 to acquire the domain name Facebook.com, but did you know that the company owns around three thousand other domain names? Source - information - 5 Great Domain Names Owned by Facebook | NamePros

I will take this. Apparently it’s still up for grabs. Suggest more. And why have you lost faith with Adsense? I find it as a good source of passive income.
