Are Domains at 100% Saturation?

Is a Booming Crypto Market Good for Domain Sales?
Cryptocurrency has been the runaway success of 2017. Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin are three currencies that have seen extreme gains this year, resulting in mainstream coverage. With cryptocurrencies seen as a new asset class, will domain name pricing and domain name sales be affected in any way?
Will less focus be placed on the domain industry as a result?

How Do I Calculate My Domain's Value?
A common response to the question "what is my domain worth?" is often "whatever someone is willing to pay for it. Regardless of whether that common response is true or not, it's something that's widely repeated. But is there a way of calculating a domain name's likely value without requiring a buyer?
There are plenty of resources that are recommended including Estibot and NameBio as well as recommendations on different ways to think about the value of a domain name.
