yeah that's the thing who owns the bridge? some may argue that control of ownership should be decentralized and some may disagree. but like I said it wouldn't be too bad if users ended up using it under some TLD but that's my opinion

I don't know who owns the bridge. What I know is that these people don't. Literally their only claim to it is deciding it's theirs to sell. It's a batshit plan and it's shocking to me that anyone takes it seriously. I want to do the same thing with ARP. You gotta pay me to talk to your Wi-Fi router. Affordable and convenient payment plans are available.

I think the analogy here is weak. A blockchain-based naming system is different, though. It's governed by consensus. The majority of users must agree on who owns a particular name or at least that's how it should work.

Don't know of any other way to create a decentralized name system without doing something similar (regardless if it's top level or secondary level names)
