Should Bitcoin own the .bitcoin TLD it could be very useful and if consensus agreed how would you make it so?

No, it would require a centralised authority to 'own it', and thus a shit show.

To add, we have namecoin. Which I thought was novel, but it didn't get enough legs.

That's like asking if HTTP should own the .web TLD.

Bitcoin is a protocol, not a person or organization.

I think he's asking exactly about being intergrated into the protocol and not about an institution group or foundation or company. Something like was namecoin in 2013.

Oh, ... like the .eth tards?

No, thank you. That's just stupid.
