Just interested in people's perspective on this. I realize it's a broad question.
All we prefer mybrandeddomain dot com instead of something that we don't own. The question is how much we want this, how much we are willing to pay for this. You will determine price of your brand based on the extra profit generated purely by your brand. I say, brand is not a great profit generator. This also explains the reason of why most domains are sold for less than $1k and most of them are dropped. You can build a powerful new brand on anybrandeddomain dot com. So, the domain or brand which will be choosen is not really important. As you say, only promotion efforts or promotion budget matters. But even if you build a powerful brand it may not repay your investment. In the end, buyers pay for products. Powerful brand can't help a poor quality product. Brand is overvalued, especially in domainers World.
Interesting point of view. I would counter with this. What are your goals? If they are short-term then you have a solid point. If your goals are long-term then your brand will overshadow the products or services you sell. Because people will identify your brand with the products and services. So they automatically associate quality and high standards with your brand. Building a strong brand behind quality products and services is priceless.
And yes, most domains are sold for xxx-x,xxx. And many are dropped. There are many reasons for that. Domains are also sold for 5 to 6 figures. So quality in domains is a factor. Also your vision is even a bigger factor. There are many moving parts in building a strong brand.
China is becoming the most powerful country in the long term. Because people buy Chinese products. Success of Chinese products with weak or no branding, even without websites and domains names is a good proof how my points are valid in the real life.
Once China becomes most powerful country, they can potentially change many things on the internet, including domain names, ICAAN, domain names, trade marks, etc. So after 5 years domain names will likely less valuable IMO. Also new developments can potentially remove the technical need for domain names. Websites could be browsed without domain names by non-technical people with search engines or compatible browsers/devices. In short, I am pessimist for the future of domain names.
... EMD's are dead.
EMDs are not dead as you suggest.
Their will be a transition from IPV4 to IPV6, meaning VPN by default, which is necessary for IOT infrastructure to strive.

Thanks good read. I really appreciate you sharing this writing. It brought some current issues to my mind that will need to be addressed as we transcend into... We'll uncharted cybersecurity concerns.
What are your thoughts on your (pronoun) networks still having the combined vulnerability surface of IPv4 and IPv6 over the next 5 years?
The writer sees this as an immediate issue, (which has all the merits and some,) but if IPsec is used with IPv6 to address tracking concerns through IPv4 tunnels, what happens when we move pass the IPv4 protocol? Possible? (I just want to say I think sure, but if you think differently I really want to know why.)
I know this is difficult to vision, and it would be like (http) protocol existing without the recent (http)(s) security layer, if I'm to draw an analogy... (Adding the (s) and changing the (http)
However, I can't see an IPv4 tunnel being an overlooked security gateway to an IOT smart city. Hyperledger and EVM and even Intel, IANA, IBM and Microsoft are reshaping all relevant security protocol layers.
I don't know, what do you think? Will IPsec truly be necessary On-Chain, with IPv6 default VPN's, which will by then be truly more advanced?
I'm not trying to be tribalistic, because I adore what I can see coming this decade, and frankly, I work in Finance, so if I'm appearing ignorant, then I definitely am, but unintentionally, and it's fair game to chuck a label on me.
Hi @Super-Annuation
Let me focus on the use of IPv6 in sensor networks a little bit more.
TCP/IP was designed long ago to operate in unreliable and slow, high latency environments. Sensor networks are often unreliable and slow, so this would not be a problem. However, sensor nodes have limited processors, limited memory, limited radio capacity and are low cost. It's all about energy saving. Security mechanisms are needed for communication between nodes (i.e. in a mesh) in unsafe sensor environments, but new security mechanisms have been developed instead of using IPSEC in these networks.
You may have a look at the Thread initiative, which uses 6LoWPAN (a stripped-for-efficiency-version of IPv6). There's also an open source version OpenThread, released by Google.
Below are some good pointers. It's too much to elaborate further in this thread about Domaining (unless you see some nice terms in these papers that are not TM, and register some domains in this interesting field). I'm sure you'll find lots of useful information -- enjoy
