.com is undoubtedly king

.com is (a dying) king.

Show Proof, and then claim.

You posted basically the same (from it's sense / meaning):

Every King must also Die.

So I could say "show proof and then claim" too - but I won't because I understood your point.

I made a mistake.

I should of called the thread

'Domain Names are the undisputed King Of Digital Assets'

As amusing as this all is, can we keep on thread.

A remarkable thing just happened for the domaining industry!

An address-less company just filed for a direct listing on Nasdaq for a Billion Dollars.

You're so .pro vocative, sometimes.

I may not have a .[pro badge] * but I have a personal topinion and if you feel provoked by it then maybe I am not that wrong as some may think.
* if, then I would anyway only be interested in a [top badge] but this does not exist yet, maybe nP will create one for me one day (in case: I'd only want it if there wasn't more than one available in total)

I respect .com as king, I even use some kings (.com's) as forwarders (to higher = non - kings = non - .com's).

I say it from the top, long live .com, the king.

we can only stop this type thread while someone introduce a real new gtld dot King...

I got your point but there is no need to stop this type of thread because it includes valuable informations.

 

[DOMAIN ILLUMINATI]

It's just personal opinion and people are wrong all the time.

Agree.

Take it to the TOP.

Can' t agree more.

It is a remarkable thing indeed.

However, in the end, the domain name is registered by a person who is registered with an address.

Although the company's home may only be the internet, the company's person in charge (who ultimately is the company) is not, so it's a thing that can be viewed from two sides.

That is unless the name is registered by an entity other than an individual.

In this case, a company which does not have a centralised address or centralised point of ownership.

You should of called it “promoting my domain”

The company offers no physical address for its headquarters in California, citing the COVID-19 pandemic, which has forced a number of companies to have most, if not all, of its staffers work remotely. For that reason, Coinbase refers to itself as “a remote-first company.”

However, having no address to some was viewed as aligning with the decentralized nature of blockchain and bitcoins.

I would hate to hit “disagree” so I’m personally saying that’s not the throw off ..Nevertheless I wish success to the Company

Yeah, you should have titled it that. Or "Domains are the new land"

 

[DOMAIN ILLUMINATI]

Nothing wrong with the title, .com is king.

 

[DuDD]

of course
there is no doubt

.com will forever be king

There is nothing called forever. Everything has a beginning and end. Dot-com will have its downfall. Time will tell

 

[DomainNature]

The .COM is considered king today because it was the first launched TLD, for example if the first would be .poop launched gTLD i m sure it would be the king today.

com net org gov edu mil, all around the same time. RFC 920 (Oct 1984).

 

[masvil]

Which leads to the point that there must be (is) a higher TLD than the TLD .com, there must be a highest TLD and I am glad to have found out which one it is.

Let me guess... .god?

 

[HotKey]

The .COM is considered king today because it was the first launched TLD, for example if the first would be .poop launched gTLD i m sure it would be the king today.

This is an interesting concept, but there is a bit more to why .com became the de facto domain extension other than being the first. I believe it's along the lines of a natural psychological connection with the actual "COM" characters themselves, but I can't find where the heck I read it!! It was here on Namepros, and someone had broke it down nicely.

Wish I would have bookmarked it. Anyhow, being .com first certainly gave it an advantage that's for sure. But as far as another TLD having the same result if it was released then, hard to say. Most nexTLDs are specific rather than generic with regards to using a domain with it. Would have had to been something else generic like .web, .page, .site, .website or .online. Even dot-one or dot-xyz.

If there would have been no dot-com, likely dot-net would be reigning by this point.

Let's go back in time and see a company directory at Yahoo! in 1996, that's still working today.

[monotheist]

Haven’t you guys heard of downfall of kings. I haven’t heard of any king who has lived forever. If you are saying .com is king the same king logic applies here. Kings comes and go. It is foolish to think that .com will be there forever. Google can make it die in a matter of weeks. Tweak the algorithm to give more ranking to new extensions. That’s it. End of the game.

 

[DomainNature]

King is COM because it is common, in fact many words even non English ones have com in it, maybe because of this it is so popular.

 

[DOMAIN ILLUMINATI]

of course
there is no doubt

The only doubt I have is whether people are aware that a king is not the highest in rank and what that actually means in relation to a TLD that is called king.

.com is king but it is not top.

 

[DOMAIN ILLUMINATI]

That is unless the name is registered by an entity other than an individual.

In this case, a company which does not have a centralised address or centralised point of ownership.

Even if a domain name is "registered by a "decentralised" company", there is a person who is ultimately in charge of it.

 

[DOMAIN ILLUMINATI]

There is nothing called forever. Everything has a beginning and end. Dot-com will have its downfall. Time will tell

Long live .com, the king (who is not top).

 

[DOMAIN ILLUMINATI]

Let me guess... .god?

No, GOD does not need a TLD.
