My question is simple.Why all these new gtld's like .beer or .top?In other words why to say company.top when you have topcompany.com?Finally, i am the one who hates all these tld's?
Interesting take on this never before discussed topic.

Well, i don't ask about the value of this domain.It is simply an example.By the way, yes top.company is betterWhat about top.company?)
Although new tld's can be useful at future (personally i find best.beer so useful as bestbeer.com), i 'm thinking that it can be harmful for the domain industry itself & to us the domain investors.The value of a premium domain will be reduced.Premiums will not be premiums and more...
I foresee a day when having a .com at the end of your domain will be considered tacky, much like the old marquee and blink html tags of old. Its a no brainer when you can deliver the same message through a domain name and have it be 3 characters less and look much cleaner and less archaic! The only thing keeping .com and .net going strong is the fact that new tlds just aren't fully established yet. Much like when many designers of the past were somewhat reluctant to convert their nested tables over to css and div tags, I feel some domainers are reluctant to concede to the fact that the future changes every niche... Well were looking at this damn future right now!
I am not anti new gtld, some make great sense intuitively, but most times when you find those names, they are restricted or premium priced, so I may think a name makes a lot of sense, it is intuitive, but for $3,000 a year or $6,000 that goes out the window. In all honesty how many can a domain investor own at $1,000 a year ?
Personally I am waiting for the multi-word tlds to arrive. Can't wait for .topfootballwebsite to open up.
I would imagine that over time some form of auction is going to pop up for a lot of these, or prices dropped, or the one off registrations like what happened with .tv. It might take a few years, but as more and more extensions go live, it will become a buyers market, not just a registrar's market.

.com is like sex, pizza, beer etc. It's not going anywhere, will always be dominant. To think that .com with almost 117 million regs, millions of sites is somehow going to take second place to any of these is delusional.
This is what real businesses know. This is why paying a little bit more now, makes financial sense long term.
Yes I can. To put it very shortly, there is little demand for new extensions. So they are not going to command high prices on the aftermarket. In fact there is virtually no aftermarket at all....
no more than you knew 10 years ago hotels.com will be worth a lot today.
can someone deny this newbie logic? or better yet, not deny it.
Unfortunately the new extensions are experiencing growth rates that are extremely low.The only thing keeping .com and .net going strong is the fact that new tlds just aren't fully established yet.

So a study done by an unknown source at Q4 2014 limited to U.S. online shoppers should point out the future of new gTLD's or what?
It's not that simple. The current scenario is new.In order to predict the future you just need to look at the past, new gTLD's are not a new thing and history tells us that they often fail and seldom succeed.
