Dive into the timeless wisdom of Rick Schwartz, the legendary "Domain King." In this episode, we break down his viral December 2025 post on long-term domain holding, explore his multi-million-dollar sales that prove patience pays off, and reveal why conviction and saying "NO" for years is the real secret to success in domaining.

Early .eth holders spent millions on registrations and renewals believing they were funding the decentralized future of internet identity.They were sold “the next .com,” “own your name forever,” and “no one can take it away.”

Fast-forward to 2025:

• Their renewal money is now bankrolling competing namespaces (.ens, DNS bridges, ICANN applications)
• The market for .eth names is dead
• And anyone holding more than one domain gets called a “squatter” by the same team that cashed their fees.

This is not another polite ENS update.This is the raw, unfiltered story of how ENS Labs and the DAO took the loyalty, time, and money of the earliest believers, built a $100M+ treasury on their backs, and then turned around and spat in their faces.

No sponsors. No fluff. No coping.Just receipts, old tweets, on-chain data, and the hard questions nobody on the team wants to answer.

If you ever renewed a premium .eth name, felt the market die, or got labeled a squatter while watching your bags bleed, this episode is your therapy session… and your war cry.

Welcome to the ENS betrayal.You paid for it. Now hear the truth.

The 2025 .brave Website-Building Challenge has wrapped — and the results prove that onchain identity is finally going mainstream. With over 1,200 creators worldwide, the competition showcased real Web3 products built on .brave domains, Brave Wallet, and BAT. We highlight the big winners — including TravelNotes.brave, a privacy-first, BAT-powered travel platform — and explore why this challenge marks a major leap for decentralized sites and user-owned digital identity in the Brave ecosystem.

A massive sale just shook the domain market. AIreviews.com sold for $1.34M after being acquired for just $480 in 2021 — and the seller also locked in 9% equity. We break down how this deal happened, why AI-driven names are exploding in value, and what this means for the future of digital real estate.

How far can ENS go? We explore the shift from hype to real utility, and what .eth means for the future of digital identity in Web3.

This is the most complete and honest explanation of ENS (Ethereum Name Service) ever recorded. No hype, no drama-just clarity.

Two hosts break down everything ENS never explained clearly:

• what ENS really is (a protocol, not just “.eth”)

• why early investors believed .eth would replace traditional domains

• how communication gaps created years of confusion

• ENS vs ICANN: integration vs competition

• the Namechain L2 vision and why it caught the community off guard

• why .eth holders are NOT “speculators”—they acted on incomplete narratives

• how ENS can still become the naming layer of the future internet

Perfect for ENS holders, domain investors, developers, DAO members, and anyone who wants to truly understand Web3 naming.

If you've been confused about ENS… this episode will finally make everything make sense.

In the Eyes of the DomainKing® — What a Domain Really Replaces
Presented by Domain.industries — The Voice of the Digital Frontier

Inspired by Rick Schwartz, The DomainKing®, this episode explores a radical idea:

“A great domain isn’t worth what another sold for — it’s worth what it replaces.”

Join and uncover how powerful names like SaveTime.now, AgenticAI.com, and Wallet.charity can replace entire companies, teams, and infrastructures.
A deep, human conversation about digital real estate, AI, and the invisible math behind true domain value.

In this episode of Domain.Industries, we explore how Ethereum Name Service (ENS) and DOMA Protocol are fusing the Web2 and Web3 worlds.

Discover how tokenizing traditional domains like .com or .ai turns them into transferable blockchain assets that resolve as native ENS names without hassle.

We dive into multi-chain integration, preserving decentralization, and how this positions ENS for ICANN's 2026 gTLD round.

Perfect for devs, creators, and digital identity enthusiasts!
