My take on the ENS DAO wanting to buy/gift names to brands and celebs:

While I'm certain that this is being done with the best intentions and with the ENS ecosystem's best interests at heart, it would be a massive mistake.

Let me explain.

👇 The #1 reason I believe ENS has grown as big as it has, and is 200x bigger than its nearest competitor, is because of the complete freedom in all respects.

All names were available with zero restrictions.

Only pricing differences are based on character count, and that's it.

If you're buying ENS domains on the secondary market, make sure you verify its legitimacy first.

One important step is verifying that the wallet selling it owns it.

Steps:
•Look at the wallet address of seller
•check domain on ens.domains
•no match is a scam
👇 ImageImage You can see that the wallet that is selling this domain ends in 529f.

But when you put in 000.eth in app.ens.domains, which is the official system for ENS domains, you can see that the actual owner of 000.eth's wallet ends in AfC4. Image

What makes a good #ENS name (for investing purposes).

A thread 🧵 There are an infinite amount of ENS names that can be created.

Some are amazing and will sell for millions in the future.

Some are pretty good and will sell for a good profit.

Most are awful and will never sell.

I created the first full course (I think) about #ENS domains.

• What they are
• Why they matters
• Long term outlook
• ENS vs competition
• Good vs bad domains
• Sub Domain potential
• Why it's a 100x opportunity
• much more

ensapex.gumroad.com I made this course mostly to help intro people into the ENS space.

Outside of me giving my opinions, there's nothing here that isn't already available.

For you ENS degens, probably not much new information for you.

Investing in ENS domain names now could make you a millionaire in the next crypto bull run.

A thread 🧵 Web2 domain names frequently sell for six or seven figures (connect.com for $10mil two months ago).

Even average domains can sell for five figures (homepage.xyz for $60k in April). Image
