People say they “own” a domain the way they “own” a phone number. They mean they paid and it’s in their account. The account can still close.
A Spaces handle is different: the certificate plus the on-chain root. No yearly ICANN bill for that name. Top-level Spaces stay yours as long as you keep using the Space UTXO. Sub handles never expire. Once issued, they stay with the key.
curious@bitcoin is issued, committed as a 32-byte root on Bitcoin, and it does not expire. You truly own your name with spaces protocol, verified on Bitcoin with no middleman. #Bitcoin #SpacesProtocol #UTXO #ICANN #DNS #TopLevelSpace #NeverExpire #SubHandles
