dot.bitcoin or dot.btc TLD

[defaced]

So this is now one of my life goals to have .frk

[minifrij]

Wouldn't it be better if we have both?if it has to be one,I would go for dot.btc for it is short and sounds better for TLD for example if we use it for this forum,bitcointalk.btc sounds more nice then bitcointalk.bitcoin

You got the extra $185k for both of them?

I voted for .btc for similar reasons to those previously, though that might be just because I dislike the new long gTLDs..

[GonnaGrinditout]

I would prefer dot.bits 

[Herbert2020]

i like the idea of adding a top level Domain name for bitcoin it would make it standard .
anyways i voted for .btc because it is shorter and easier to type. and the three letter makes it look better as an address in comparison with the long .bitcoin that would just look unusual !

[coaltin]

I would prefer dot.bits  

I have added a 3rd option for u and others who think that either of them is not suitable

[RGBKey]

I would prefer .btc, it's much shorter and looks like a normal tld, I don't like the longer ones.

[pedrog]

off course .btc. just like .social, .tv, .media. These TLD are more specific for the content.

.tv is a coutry code domain, it's the country code for Tuvalu, a small island in the pacific, it's not a domain for television related sites.

OP, why are you going to invest so much money into this when it's clearly not profitable? Are you affiliated with a company?

[neurotypical]

.BTC is the most aesthetically pleasing option by far because it complies with the 3 letter standard. I don't get why a lot of people are using .io specifically, they are so expensive so register even more than .com. I hope .btc doesn't become incredibly expensive for some reason and we see tons of .btc sites in the future.

.coin would be best IMO

[RealBitcoin]

.coin would be best IMO

That could be misleading, and non related to bitcoin. It could be .crypto, but that is also vague.

.BTC is the best

And then we can know how many bitcoin related sites are there.

[1Referee]

Voted for .btc 

[coinableS]

a very good idea to boost the popularity of bitcoin. I
prefer dot BTC because of a short domain effect on a site
seo

I think .bitcoin would be better for SEO. Many search engines include the URL text as part of the search criteria which is why you see so many news sites that instead of making up an ID for each article like news.com/dfj34ifkdj.html  it will be  news.com/child-rescues-monkey-from-evil-panther

Also as others have stated, not everyone knows that BTC means bitcoin.  My vote is definitely for .bitcoin

[Wapinter]

I'm planning to bring new Top Level Domain for bitcoin into the net.Which TLD would you opt for? Please select a choice.Based upon the vote,I would select the most preferable option.Also kindly write what do you think about the idea?

Bitcoin also sounds good moreover it is more specific

[RGBKey]

.coin would be best IMO

I don't like .coin because it doesn't specify bitcoin. People that don't know about bitcoin wouldn't question .coin as being something normal.

I'm pretty sure OP's application, if serious, for a bitcoin gTLD would be rejected, if it gets this far, it would, probably, stop here:

3.2.1 Grounds for Objection

Legal Rights Objection – The applied-for gTLD string
infringes the existing legal rights of the objector.

Community Objection – There is substantial opposition to
the gTLD application from a significant portion of the
community to which the gTLD string may be explicitly or
implicitly targeted.

Why would that stop someone from requestion a bitcoin related TLD? I don't understand why that rules it out.

Who has the legal rights for 'bitcoin'?

I don't think anybody can claim legal rights for bitcoin. See here: https://bitcoin.org/en/about-us

[tommorisonwebdesign]

There really is no point talking about this pipe dream because unless OP has the money to bring the TLD into existence this is just a pipe dream. How did you acquire the money to make such an investment? Do you have a plan to recover losses? (IE selling domain names).
