> I've looked at blockchain based domains. There's also ENS (.eth) and HNS (namebase.io). The biggest problem with them is they're a huge pain to purchase. You need to buy their vBucks style coins first (ETH or HNS) and many western governments treat those like a security. That makes it tough for someone like me who wants to buy legit, brandable domains in those systems.
Yeah I don't know why any of these blockchain DNS systems don't have an easy fiat on-ramp. Most people don't care about holding a token, they just want their domain name. It's fairly easy these days too with all the stablecoins around.
