It costs $2k to buy a domain name today. Thousands to deploy contracts. Simple send of tokens costs $50. This is dystopian and should be treated as such--instead it is celebrated bc of the fee burn. This is a rentier mentality and I think it's dangerous.

The 1st infomemecial for $HNS! Here's how DNS works: Traditionally it was only possible to rent subdomains because ICANN's monopoly of DNS's root made it prohibitively expensive to own a TLD. Handshake changes that by making it possible for anyone to own any top-level domain!
