I’d love to replace URLs, yet I think they’re here to stay for some time. They also appear to be reasonably censorship resistant - while I think ICANN and their shit-domains strategy is borked - you have countries and domain TLDs not solely under a single/coalition countrie’s laws/control. It’s still centralised - and no silver bullet.

Long live:
The Pirate Bay
Wikileaks
Etc

URLs are particularly useful around services that need some centralisation - like a paywall or paid service. How can you trust a decentralised someone to collect money on your behalf and validate payment for access your service or content?
