What would you do with the $75,000 twitter.ca domain name?

As of time of writing there is 27 days left on the auction of twitter.ca on eBay that is sitting at $75,000 Ameribucks, which only begs to ask to ask the question “WTF would you do with the $75,000 twitter.ca domain name?”.
Let us look at some comparisons between twitter.ca, twitter.com and matthewgood.org, the later being one of my favorite Canadian artists who just released a new album.
Website Alexa Ranking Est. Worth Possible Daily Ad Revenue Daily Pageviews
twitter.ca 1,461,756 $1408.90 $1.93 643
matthewgood.org 251,145 $12234.80 $16.76 4769
twitter.com 13 $172,070,000 $235717.28 78571428
Looking at these numbers and ignoring the rising stats of twitter.ca it would take about 38,860 days (106 or so years) at a ad supported revenue stream of $1.93 to pay off that $75,000.
So looking at that biased number crunch what would you do with the twitter.ca domain name?
Possibilities are including but not limited to:
- Give it to Twitter
- Use it to run a phishing/Black Hat Ops site
- Create a Canadian Themed site using twitter API supported by ads
- Sit on it and sell it later
- Try and resell it right away
- Keep the ownership papers from CIRA and use them to pick up all the chicks
So what would you do with twitter.ca?
