Hey, domain names are a thing you know

[-] Rustmilian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That's more of an address book provided by DNS.

Hey at least then you own a domain name and all of its subdomains and can make them point whatever you want and host whatever you want out of them. When you buy an NFT you own one URL on an image hosting site, whose content you don't even control.

You rent domain names. Stop paying the fee and you don't get to use them anymore.

fair enough, but $12/yr for something I can do whatever I want with vs several grand once for an immutable monkey JPEG that i cannot do anything with except sell to someone else...

Nope! Not even that. Just an agreement between the scam arti- sorry, seller and the dumbfuc- sorry, buyer, that the rights to something have changed hands. Nothing more, nothing less.
