Please can you share the history of bitcoin.com domain?

According to the man himself (if you can bear to give him a click)

If you can't

Bitcoin.com was registered in January of 2008, a year before the protocol was released by Satoshi Nakamoto back in January of 2009. After the domain was created, one of the earliest bitcoin exchanges, Tradehill, took over the website six years ago but the ownership didn’t last long. The trading platform fell apart, and the domain was then transferred over to Roger Ver in April of 2014.
Ver explains that he purchased Bitcoin.com for an undisclosed sum. Originally Blockchain.info was going to use the website as the main landing page Ver says, but the idea never came to fruition.
Following this Ver negotiated a deal with the Chinese exchange, Okcoin, to lease the website as he had several other offers from interested parties. Ver says that Okcoin provided the best offer for the lease agreement and the two parties worked out an arrangement.
Okcoin didn’t put much work into the website’s design and in May of 2015 Ver revealed to the public that the exchange owed him funds for overdue payments. Ver explains that “Okcoin breached the agreement in every manner possible.”

 
Despite the fact that this site is under Roger's management and all of his work is shit done for the sake of bitcoin cash (You can't imagine how much he hurts when he hears first bitcoin and then cash), this article is still educational for me so why not to bear?
Bitcoin cash was splitted in august 2017 and this article was written in september 2017, so it's not modified for the sake of bch yeah? I don't remember if he was supporter of BCH from the very first begining.
Btw this domain's price won't be high in overall because this domain was and is used as owners wish, it has low reputation despite the fact that it's .com domain of major cryptocurrency. Domain supporting bitcoin, then bitcoin cash and then who knows that, maybe ripple? lol
