I am a pioneer in the field of digital assets, holding 18.74% of the global single character. com domain names (161, covering 100 commonly used Chinese characters, 6 Cyrillic letters, 13 Indian letters, 8 Indian numbers, 23 Japanese kana, 3 Greek letters, 6 Thai letters, 2 Thai numbers, and 1 Arabic letter). These domain names are bound by extreme scarcity (only 859 globally), billion level civilization (1.5 billion people in East Asia, 146 million in Russia, and over a billion in India), and social media show off effects (1.3 billion users on WeChat, billions of users on X) VK), The pinnacle of digital luxury represents the Manhattan moment - similar to the opportunity of exchanging $24 for Manhattan Island in 1626.

Alphabets (Chinese characters, etc.) + .com's millennium opportunity. Words have no property rights for thousands of years. In the .com era, the property rights can be traded, which is a single The character .com domain name is the fundamental driving force of luxury goods and collectibles. The uniqueness of this opportunity lies in:

1. The transformation of text from public to private:

· As a public resource of human civilization, writing has never been "owned". The Chinese character "酒", the letter "Ω" and the kana "あ" belong to all mankind, and no one can monopolize their use rights.

· The emergence of the .com domain name transforms a single text into a privatizeable digital asset through technical rules (domain name registration). For example, 酒.com has changed from a public symbol to an exclusive digital real estate, which is a revolutionary reshaping of the value of words on the Internet.

I have recognized a key social trend: the evolution of social scenes from offline to online, and how this evolution promotes the transformation of luxury goods and collectibles into digital products, especially the unique position of single-letter/single-character .com domain names (especially IDN domain names) in this trend. Traditional domain name investors have not fully focused on the changes in social scenes and their impact on luxury goods and collectibles, nor have they fully captured the core role of digital products as showing off capital on online social platforms. The IDN single letter.com I collected has become a digital red diamond with the evolution of social scenes with the consensus that it is scarce and does not require educational costs.

I've had a very similar thought in the past.

Welcome to the addiction train called domain investing.

All aboard! 🚂

Welcome!
Please don't be surprised at a lukewarm response.
Perhaps the best comparison here is the parable or allegory of the cave (written long past in Athens).

The whole concept of IDN is a repair for extending a system based on ASCII characters, or to be less kind, an Anglo-American fiction. French accents, Nordic letters such as Å or ö, Chinese, Sanskrit, etc. are labeled "international" as A and Z are standardized. What's foreign to someone ain't so to others. From an objective perspective, the Swedish älg, Chinese 驼鹿, English moose, and Latin Alces alces are all names for the same creature, but for internet addressing, we've labeled only the first two as International Domain Names.

As you describe your portfolio, with many years experience with domains - why so slow to engage on Namepros.com?

Traditional domain name evaluation often focuses on:

· Character length: the shorter the value (such as 3 letters.com).

· Scarcity: single characters or high-frequency words are preferred.

· Traffic potential: SEO ranking, search volume.

· Historical transactions: For example, "sex.com" sells for tens of millions of dollars.

But these ignore the soul of brand value:

· Memory: Common words (such as "珠宝jewelry") are straightforward and easy to remember, cross-cultural killing.

· Cultural resonance: it fits the emotions or habits of the target market, such as "珠宝" directly refers to wealth and beauty in China.

· Strategic leverage: Top-level domain names can empower brands, such as "holding the son of heaven to order the vassals" and using the domain name authority to command the market.

1. Traditional domain name evaluation ignores the brand value of domain names. A major blind spot in the evaluation of traditional domain names: brand value, especially common domain names such as "jewelry.com", which directly hit the core of culture and business, are far more memorable, influential and strategic than ordinary Latin alphabet combinations. Jewelry.com "Chinese people can remember at once" and "hold the son of heaven to command the vassals", the unique advantages of IDN is not only a scarce symbol, but also a "digital scepter" of brand empowerment. 2、Traditional domain name investment completely ignores the brand potential of IDN, a common term such as "珠宝.com", and not to realize the value of luxury goods/collectibles in the digital age because of its scarcity, consensus and identity of IDN single characters.

Being high on your own supply is highly correlated with being a domainer.

Some issues with idn names are that many (most?) browsers won't render the domain in location bar well, and the xn equivalent is ugly, low trust and not obviously the same; they aren't universal (for all), it is a niche thing; the internet has already spoken with the Chinese even preferring Pinyin, to name a few.

... the internet has already spoken ....
Mmm. I agree with your overall comment (esp "high on your own supply"), but not this excerpt. Tens of millions of otherwise savvy people don't know that non-ASCII characters can be used as addresses. VeriSign has sucked profits from its entrusted position as no-bid monopolist operator of the .com registry while investing far too little in educating the public about IDN. Throughout Europe (and elsewhere) many businesses and public offices set-up domains and web presence infrastructure (such as email) prior to the ability to use IDN (post 2003 and later). They "Anglicized" their domain names (& email addresses), cutting out accents and non-Anglo letters of their alphabets. Because these bastardized internet addresses are still widely used, many users simply imagine that's just the way it has to be... A few examples: Danish maersk.com replaces "æ" with "ae"; Spain's Telefónica drops the accent, telefonica.com and L'Oréal of France is loreal.com ... Widely-used public offices are similar, Sweden's Försäkringskassan uses the address forsakringskassan.se

Isn't that equivalent to saying "my restaurant shut down - not because it wasn't popular or great - but because not enough people knew about it. Also the county didn't allow me to expand the parking lot so they are also to blame"

You also validate the "not a problem" thesis where adoption of pinyin or the same 26 letter alphabet works and is normal.

Will things change substantively? I don't know. Reasons why the balance might change include the head-start for Anglicization. Localized domains in IDN have room for growth, and even macro political frictions could turn some firms to emphasize their roots. Further, there is room for fun and the avant-garde, for example, with personal websites on simple or single-character domains. Opportunities exist (even if IDN remain a niche)... ☑

To be honest, you don't understand my point of view at all. The domain names I have collected are just for showing off my wealth. For example, there are only 28 Arabic letters in the world, but there are over a billion followers of Islam. All believers must recite the Quran in Arabic, how glorious it is to have an Arabic letter. Not to mention anything else, do you have my profile picture? You are still stuck in the era of browsers, without Bitcoin thinking, and have not realized the peak revolution of thousands of years brought by the private ownership of letters after adding. com.

Why do you doubt that I can steelman your position quite well?

I think you are stuck in the era of browsers too and this might bother you.

That said, Brave browser - at least on my cell phone - renders IDN names favorably. Objectively this is a W and the sort of progress needed to advance interest in IDN names.

I don't believe I'm incorrect that you care what others think of IDN domains, at least at scale.

Tell me about how "Bitcoin thinking" relates to IDN domains.

IDN names are a poor proxy for showing of wealth imo. How much did you spend on them? Maybe that disclosure can make us ooh and aah to elevate your status and solicit admiration.

Short and unique domain names, especially single symbol IDN domains, will become NFT like digital luxury goods, symbolizing identity and investment.
IDN (such as 吉.com 王.com 富.com み.com ψ.com Х.com А.com) is not only a website address, but also an identity asset on the blockchain that can be used for social platform ID flaunting wealth.
Luxury industry leader Chiara Ferragni (Italian fashion influencer) stated in 2023 that NFTs (including digital avatars and identity tags) are the future of the luxury industry, enhancing value by giving digital ownership to physical goods. She predicts that avatars and IDs will become the core of interaction between fashion brands and consumers, similar to "character badges"

Unless I missed a thread, we've yet to hear many personal details from new member superidn

One reason I'm curious is I agree there's a dimension of "digital luxury goods" involved, and more than that, that the process of finding, registering, and maintaining IDN is a cultivated talent, more than a little fun. Many namepros members are results-oriented and will caution about wasting money ... great! But beyond being financial outcome-driven, there is a richness and almost a game in dealing with different languages and coding. The process and journey and mental challenges of domaining are considerable, and worthy. There's competition in domaining & brand development, but maybe especially in .com IDN. I'm satisfied to label it a 'hobby' with costs, but also appreciate the periodic sales.
