So if both easy.credit and easycredit.com were listed at 26M, which one would you buy?
It's not a matter of being pro or against a certain tld, it's backed by data.
Owning the .com will always give you an advantage (us, globally). An advantage that usually is worth spending the extra dollars on when building a brand.
I don't see nTLD owners pricing their names up to the level of .com. why is that? Because for the moment, they are considered to be inferior options and priced accordingly. No agenda, facts.
easy.credit is not $26M ... it’s a fairly priced name for someone looking for a universal brand in one of the worlds most valuable industries, and if I happened to be a billionaire, I would most certainly go for the GTLD ^ don’t even need to state why, if you’re that far behind, I feel bad for you,
Ask yourself why Shopify would buy shop.app for $200K versus shopapp.com or shop.com ^ they can afford it, their stock went up 300% in a matter of 9 months
The only reason why .com is king is because of time, a considerable amount of time, 25 years to the average consumer and thus you have a product that has been marketed and branded all over the world ten times over ^ “however” what you and many others don’t recognize is simple math, you have 2B sites online, less then 400M of which are active ... 360M domains in circulation according to ICANN, and you propose that we limit the market to just .com
Even Verisign whom owns .com would not make such a ridiculous statement, shit while they were telling you to invest in .com as well as everyone else, they were investing in .tv and .web ^ They paid $100M for ownership of .tv in the year 2000 ... look at what is happening with .web, they secretly bid $165M through another party and have admitted to the fact that the internet is overpopulated and that they are running out of .com domains to sell ... So then what, what happens then ? How do you keep a market valuable when it’s just investors trading names ? You can’t ^ look what happened with fish.com and bird.com “fake bids” ... cats.com is still for sale, didn’t even hit the reserve of $500K at ROTD ... meanwhile petsmart owns dogs.com lol

And now we have 1,500 extensions at $185K a pop, (not including private auctions), you can say the investment in GTLDs has already gained a billion dollar market valuation ^ Meanwhile while you and me are debating, DeFi has achieved a $100B market valuation in a year
and look at the domains that they are using

The world is moving fast >>> if you’re gonna invest, don’t put all your eggs in one basket
.com will remain king, that is undisputed ! But exact match keyword GTLDs in valuable industries should not be overlooked
