Nobody makes money off gold in a gold rush. Those who make money from the strike already found their gold before it was a gold rush.

Are you talking about literal gold rush, or tech gold rush? With domain names, I registered my domains at almost the exact peak of the dot com bubble, when surely the domain name rush was well underway. With Bitcoin, I started only after it was so well known that it was being discussed on a barely related site, Less Wrong.

To be fair, if your name were Jebediah Thorgunnsen, your domain name would not have appreciated so much.
