Early .eth holders spent millions on registrations and renewals believing they were funding the decentralized future of internet identity.They were sold “the next .com,” “own your name forever,” and “no one can take it away.”
Fast-forward to 2025:
This is not another polite ENS update.This is the raw, unfiltered story of how ENS Labs and the DAO took the loyalty, time, and money of the earliest believers, built a $100M+ treasury on their backs, and then turned around and spat in their faces.
No sponsors. No fluff. No coping.Just receipts, old tweets, on-chain data, and the hard questions nobody on the team wants to answer.
If you ever renewed a premium .eth name, felt the market die, or got labeled a squatter while watching your bags bleed, this episode is your therapy session… and your war cry.
Welcome to the ENS betrayal.You paid for it. Now hear the truth.

The 2025 .brave Website-Building Challenge has wrapped — and the results prove that onchain identity is finally going mainstream. With over 1,200 creators worldwide, the competition showcased real Web3 products built on .brave domains, Brave Wallet, and BAT. We highlight the big winners — including TravelNotes.brave, a privacy-first, BAT-powered travel platform — and explore why this challenge marks a major leap for decentralized sites and user-owned digital identity in the Brave ecosystem.
A massive sale just shook the domain market. AIreviews.com sold for $1.34M after being acquired for just $480 in 2021 — and the seller also locked in 9% equity. We break down how this deal happened, why AI-driven names are exploding in value, and what this means for the future of digital real estate.
How far can ENS go? We explore the shift from hype to real utility, and what .eth means for the future of digital identity in Web3.
This is the most complete and honest explanation of ENS (Ethereum Name Service) ever recorded. No hype, no drama-just clarity.
Two hosts break down everything ENS never explained clearly:
what ENS really is (a protocol, not just “.eth”)
why early investors believed .eth would replace traditional domains
how communication gaps created years of confusion
ENS vs ICANN: integration vs competition
the Namechain L2 vision and why it caught the community off guard
why .eth holders are NOT “speculators”—they acted on incomplete narratives
how ENS can still become the naming layer of the future internet
Perfect for ENS holders, domain investors, developers, DAO members, and anyone who wants to truly understand Web3 naming.
If you've been confused about ENS… this episode will finally make everything make sense.
In the Eyes of the DomainKing® — What a Domain Really Replaces
Presented by Domain.industries — The Voice of the Digital Frontier
Inspired by Rick Schwartz, The DomainKing®, this episode explores a radical idea:

Perfect for devs, creators, and digital identity enthusiasts!
Everyone loved using OpenAI’s AI inside their browsers — until OpenAI built its own browser. Suddenly, innovation turned into fear.

From the illusion of control to the rise of AI-driven interfaces, this reflection dives deep into how the web itself is evolving — and why the real question isn’t “What’s next?” but “Are you ready to surf it?” 🌊
