I mean real, lasting names, not your fly-by-night flips. Will assets in premium dot-com domains be regarded as "old money" into the future? Like families that come from old money, the domains might be considered a source of regarded, privileged digital estate, rooted in history with wealth carried over from previous bloodlines.
Many terms married with dot-com simply can't be beat. Nor should they look to be. They will retain their intrinsic value with internet address synonymy, and perhaps rise even more as the decades move on.
Is dot-com already old money? By all rights it could be. How we currently use the internet would require a radical shift to change it overnight. We may be in the midst of a slow change now, but not one that does without domain names. Still to be passed onto future generations. A long bloodline worthy of respect.
Old money is respectable, new money lets give it a chance. There might be something to it. At the same time, new money tends to come and go, old money, it's called that for a reason, it sticks around if not abused. It is guarded carefully, used wisely. If there's one extension that deserves it, I think it's dot-com. And someday, even what is new and different now, may also become the assets of those long after our stalwart opposition to it.
I have always embraced a good domain name, from Day 1, and have never understood the opposition to good names beyond dot-com. Yes there are nuances and factors to consider when investing regardless of the extension, but at their core we should see the merits of an entire string, and applaud them.
People that gravitate toward something outside a status quo and use it, we shouldn't always compare to what could have been or what what we think should be just because it doesn't align with what we're used to or what others are doing. There's a mouthful, eh? I wanted to put this out there because I truly think that where ever we end up with domain names, we should always have a steadfast extension to look to as things were.

I don't like to have to type in .com for the most common extension.
