I don,t think so...
The current generations will remember the catchyness of the .com domain enough for it to remain popular. The generation after millennials might not be so kind to .com.
With increasing polarisation in the world, and conflicts in opinions of acceptable behavious and political ideals, it is likely that the Internet will split. Will China still want .coms when they are using "AsiaNet"?
WHY? You want to know WHY? Because your ahead of the curve. One step ahead. That,s WHYi sold way more mew domain extensions than .com ( classic domains )
for me .com is not King
WHY ?
Thanks for that reply - my post was a bit tongue in cheek, but your reply does raise some interesting points.
Firstly, "AsiaNet" could co-exist with the current Internet, and with the increase in control and suppression of controversial opinion, there may even be a DarkNet as well. I'm sure browsers could cope with switching between routes. We are seeing quite a few major shifts emerging - the PetroRuble is already an alternative to the PetroDollar, and its use may increase over the next few years. America's attempts to block Chinese membership of the IMF led to the creation of the AIIB, and on 30th September 2016 the IMF allowed the Renminbi to join the basket of currencies for SDRs. But it's a bit late, and the world will run with these two changes
Some TM's owner abused TM right; and other people used TM to steal domain. Some panel are just too lazy to look at the whole picture; and they can care less. The whole TM process and the governance are all games. Trademark businesses shouldn't allow to trademark common and dictionary words; also trademark people should brutally honest to their customers. Perhaps telling them, that you trademark one name, this doesn't mean you own the world's encyclopediaa Trademark Department doesn,t even check if you have any rights
and wich domain extension ???
a TM doesn,t include a domain name ( .com or whatever )
to register a TM you just apply and pay 300$
if they deny you lose that money
that,s why i don,t like any kind of TM
i spend a lot of time in DPMA ( german TM department )
it,s a money machine
nothing else
i try to find that article ...
You're missing the whole point of gTLDs...Uniregistry makes no sense in any extension except .comAgree! Why do you think Uniregistry, owned by a well known domainer, uses Unirgistry.com, instead of Uniregistry.sexy or uniregistry.link or uniregistry.click Uniregistry.tattoo
Why? Frank those extensions, doesn't he?
But then you get it!Gtld are cool for brands in my opinion. Tshirt brand, artist brand, Vanity names, product brand. Yet I haven't seen many being used.

So, we are getting somewhere..
Ok, I think it's good to diversify...Com has been established for as long as the internet has been around. There are a few extensions that can do well here and there but as far as any tld replacing the dominance of .com on the internet in 2017, that is ridiculous. It is way too early for that to happen especially with the last 20+ years of .com established already. Some killer keywords will always do well in a few of these new extensions but nothing at all equal to what the same keyword in .com would fetch.
By the way, out of your 6 domains in your signature (VR.Loans VRKinos.com VRGamesKing.com VRGameKings.com VRGamesKings.com VRHoloPortation.com), 5 of them are .com. Try selling any of those 5 domains in any other extension in 2017 and I am sure you will have your answer.
Keep your one word gtlds. I dropped a decent name, because the renewal fee was over $150 and I got no offers. Recently looked at it and a big communication company is using it.
Will .com (dot com) be King in 2017?
Yes.
But by 2025 there will be so many Kings.
I dropped voip.businessKeep your one word gtlds.... good advice, but what was the name ?
Not just 2017 my friend, but our entire lifetime!
trapped in a Cave ?
life is changing
Lol! Ahh yes, change is the only constant. But I just can't see it happening in our lifetime. Trends will come and go, but the dot com will remain King!
