  ens.domains just sounds like selling plots on the Moon, or names of distant stars. It only matters to those who buy in. Current system domains are cheap and work fine for most people. If your local government is oppressive and won't let you own a domain, you can't really solve that political problem technologically. My understanding of smart contracts is that it's like a distributed virtual machine of consensus. A single program that runs on all the networked computers, all executing the same set of functions on the same set of data producing the same result. But it's slow and expensive, because it's "trustless", and it turns out that trust is very valuable and embedded in our traditional methods, and people get scammed left and right because they think trustless means they don't need to trust, but that's a lie.
