im pretty bearish on ENS long-term

imo any sufficiently popular cryptosocial product will generate native demand for their own namespace, and be able to charge rent for identities. it'll be more profitable than co-opting ENS

the only truly canonical, interoperable identity is an ethereum address

I’d say your actual wallet address is more analogous to an email. It’s the only true canonical identifier

ENS is just a monopoly right now on what will be a highly competitive market for every sufficiently popular social product

multiple email addresses can resolve to the sale place, and so can multiple domains. this isn’t true of a wallet address. IP address seems like the metaphor here, unless I’m missing something

yup. also ENS will connect your EOA addresses on different EVM chains at scale at least a year ahead of everyone else imo
