development space. Comparing to the
investment in vehicles, housing,
domain investment circulates faster,
it also cashes out faster.”

at the meeting said, “ If there is a
way we can
have the domain name deep processed by
turning it into a website or matching it
with the trademark to become an IP, then the value is
infinite.”
