Could we make a parallel to the internet itself using domain names instead of wallets? Not sure about this but just asking as this is the speculation forum Smiley

domain names 2002-2014, not far from an s-curve

It's getting flatter, have you tried to buy a domain name lately? Anything made with actual words or short or remotely nice sounding is already taken.

not sure how we value the internet, perhaps market cap tech/web companies 2006-2014 (sorry this graph suck no time to find a better one)
