Chinese buying domains by hundreds and thousands as an investment, maybe US market is more conservative about this; Or there are too many ntlds for US domainers to choose, while in China, there are only a handful http://bzxx.miit.gov.cn:8080/datainfo/miit/miit10057.jsp

Yes, Americans are not treating it as an alternative to stock market. If just one large company would allocate small portion of its income to such investment, the whole market could get disrupted and distorted.

Chinese don't have much alternatives to invest. The property market busted or is not growing any more. Stocks collapsed. Gold has dropped by about 1/3 from its peak, other commodities also. Hence the frantic desire to find something.
