You think the leaders of Meta, Google, Microsoft, Apple etc. have no interest in what Web3/5 is proposed as being and how it would impact the current web? Collectively they represent a lot of dollars.

*Edit: to drop hand regs, meta, "brandables", hyphenated and low value domains.
Obviously LLL.COMs are worth something.
When I said that Web3/5 was being discussed by big businesses, I meant the core ideas of how the web would work and people would control and own their data, nothing specific about decentralized domains. I think there is a lot of interest, even from a purely defensive point of view. In my mind Web3/5 if it comes is very likely to be built on conventional ICANN / country code domains. Perhaps also part of ENS.But, if we are comparing the traditional domains and Web#N domains when it comes to underlying businesses, that is still 99%+ vs under 1%.
Not sure it's dead but certainly it has lost it's shine, I would call it normalisation. The activity in this market used to be bonkers on a resell level. But that was inevitable to die I guess, out of 100 domains, if you can't sell even 1, you will fold. Now it's mostly focused on providing value for the end customer, resell is kind of dead

That's only YOUR perspective, it's not the same for everyone else. Resell is still working - and well for some of us (although yes, pinpoint sales are good so your angle is a viable one)
See the sales reports thread. I'm reporting sales there almost daily, and my overall sales are increasing despite the market downfall, and continues / will continue to do so. It's not by accident, I've worked hard and getting better at the game - that's the simple answer.
If one can't get significantly better at what they are doing in such times, then yes, the solution is to bail out or focus on something that works for them.
Lol, it's not my opinion, I know what it used to be like. I've been here since 2006, it was insanity until maybe 2011 or so.That's only YOUR perspective, it's not the same for everyone else.

That's very negative talk, I don't see any economy collapsing yet and I don't see it happening anytime soon. Inflation is high, but that was to be expected after the pandemic and after you print trillions of dollars / euros / pounds etc. It will unwind in the next 12 months probably.lol normalization.. let me laugh... the world and economy are collapsing. this has nothing to do with just domaining normalizing itself .. now..for no reason..naturally..
I have not been that active of a buyer lately because with a standard 1%-2% sell-through rate the auction prices don't usually make sense.Investor fatigue.
There are already plenty of people calling quits on bitcoin and the sorts. They currently sell at a loss. While the normal instinct of an investor in a dip situations would probably be to buy the dip.
Selling at a huge loss is probably not a wise decision in most cases, but anyway. It's usually an emotional decision. E.g. "I could not stand anymore seeing how my portfolio value diminishes".
Just like with stocks and crypto, the absolute same thing will happen / is happening with domains. If you don't make money anymore, what's the point in continuing to do what you did? But there might still be money ahead - if you manage adapt.
Certain investors (those with great portfolios or great methods) will continue to make a profit even in this new market. And yes just like @bmugford said, there are so many different models in domaining and some will be more successful next, other not so much.
Note: I doubt wholesale is going to work anymore next, due to the small margins.... One will definitely find more good stuff at drops etc. Which means, the time is to BUY not to sell.
Edit: I sold my 40 BTC years ago due to the same investor fatigue, so yeah... I know how that goes.

The domain market has been fairly even for YEARS, it's in not in a worse state than it was in 2019 for example, sales wise. The real problem I see is that it is not growing, but there's definitely money still left for people who are really into it.
Also, the past 2-3 years I noticed quite a bit more activity here compared to previous period.
First time, eh? You're clearly very young and haven't experienced much.another kumbaya guy..there was another around a day ago... u go round calling others negative when it's just being realistic... wars..famine...pandemic.. inflation... I guess that's not enuf for ya to call it a collapse

Well, I can guess you're full of frustrations that's for sure. Better go vent them elsewhere or find some doomsday forum with likeminded people. Pretty sure there's support groups for people like you.people tell ya u suck at guessing?
Domaining is over. Domainers must now drop the domains.
Do you agree?
Any proof or at least a clear explanation as to why and how that would happen?domaining will be over soon completely or in the way how it works today.
I partially agree, partially disagree. I disagree because it's not over yet. I agree because the end of domaining has started.
