ENS is so important (& powerful) that owning-or-not owning a "state-or-country" ENS/.eth (eg: Canada.eth, Russia.eth, Poland.eth, Germany.eth, etc) will equal = A "National Security" Threat, which Governments will retaliate (legal/war) to secure their EVM/ENS/.eth Names 🪖 Ξ ⦅⦆
I believe country names are overvalued by some ENS speculators and commentors. brazil.eth was likely sold at a fair price.
- Relative to other points in history, people are increasingly disloyal to their country, with exaggerated effects at higher levels of wealth.
- Country names have higher legal risk than even US trademarks.
- In a world where governments do attempt to enforce trademark law via courts, it won't be courts asking for your name. It will be militaries. They will deem it a national security concern in a way that google.eth is simply not.
- emphasis on point 1. Wealthy people are relatively dispassionate about their country, especially younger wealth who value digital assets.
- counterhypothetical, those who ARE passionate about their country are those who tend to have little wealth. think: foreign protestors
- usa.eth is an exception
ENS digits do not have any of these downsides
