Did the author just forget about the attempted corporate take over of .org? [0]. Blockchains like Ethereum are part of the solution which help prevent something like that from happening.

They're not at the stage to be usable yet but it seems that is where we are going. It just takes more de-platformings, bans, hostile takeovers, suspensions etc to accelerate the need for this.

How so? The problem is that many humans are greedy. How do "Blockchains like Ethereum" fix that? The existence of a technology that's completely orthogonal to the problem isn't "part of the solution" although marketing it as a solution certainly does help move worthless tokens.

You do realise Ethereum is a blockchain ecosystem and not just a coin? So ENS isn't part of the solution then?

Perhaps you yourself have your own better solution then?

I asked "How so?" and, rather than offer any answer at all, you've replied by jabbering about the blockchain again.

The closest to an answer is perhaps "So ENS isn't part of the solution then?" which I suppose hints that you believe somehow if everybody pays hundreds of dollars to some third party (sorry, for the "gas" to power an otherwise "free" transaction like a "free" gift that asks for $25 postage and packing...) this will somehow cure an unrelated problem. But who knows, since you didn't explain it.

No need to admit that you detest anything 'blockchain'. I'm assuming that you have your own working clever idea to this then?

Very easy to sit there and criticise than to actually build anything...
