Ethereum

ENS and SOL domains are fun but I never really thought they had any great utility. 

Easier to remember, but it’s not like you pay Verizon💰each year to keep contacts in your phone or even remember each contact name correctly.

What am I missing?

Can make your ENS point to an IPFS build of your website and then access it at powpow.eth.limo (or just powpow.eth in some crypto browsers) and then you have decentralized hosting. e.g.

Building out @farlaunch learning to code and aping memecoins. Getting a little better each day.

Ah I see, so it only works as a domain without a separate target in some crypto browsers like Brave?

but can’t I just put silentjohn.eth in my address book?

'Send money to John'. OK, the John in your addr book is likely different than the John in mine.

'Send money to silentjohn.eth.' OK, now everybody in the whole world knows who we're talking about, and can verify it.

that's a lacking comparison, you pay verzion to keep your number, you don't pay ethereum or solana to keep your address

Right, I mean the human readable format isn't incredibly useful because you can keep an address book in your wallet anyway. That's what I was trying to say. 

You don’t pay your software wallet money to keep an address book either and I am not sure what that’s got to do with ens? ENS is just a human readable format for long address names and just like a parking spot in the middle of a cbd, it’s something people will try squat so the cost stops that
