The userbase of ENS is bigger than what most people realise. It comprises individual users, teams, projects, devs, initiatives, protocols, blockchains, educators, private enterprise, and so much more. It's my thinking that the biggest waves of adoption will happen by way of broad & many integrations, and through BYO communities which tailor their ENS use & integration to their own group of users. Rightly so, as they understand their community best, and get to design with ENS flexibly. There will also be new utility & functions built because of ENS tech exists and the reach of the many communities already using ENS names. And with all that said, I believe it crucial that traders, domainers and speculators understand that ENS development does not revolve around their sole intentions but rather is for EVERY user. In many ways, any .eth owner, whether they have one name or many names, are not worth less or more than each other. By design, independent & dedicated marketplaces have risen, working hard to serve the ENS users who are traders, domainers, etc and their platforms work really well. These companies are mission focused to provide for their niche. And that's kind of the point.. mission focused -- ENS is developing a truly remarkable 100 year protocol and do so alongside many other great contributors expanding the ecosystem. The future state so many are working towards is ultimately a landscape that makes things brighter, including to each other’s interests. As for today, it's bigger than any one type of user base and certainly isn't a short term race to simply trade names, as a trade off to the that future state. ENS is for everyone. Builders are cooking.
