How BitTorrent Is Better Than BitCoin

We already have a protocol for decentralizing content. Web3 is a fugazi

What if we made the Internet this way? It would be stupid.

If you want to decentralize the Internet, we already have a protocol for that. It’s not anything like BitCoin. It’s BitTorrent.

What Is BitTorrent?

If you’re my age you remember peer-to-peer file-sharing services fondly and well. They have mostly been superseded by centralized, paid, platforms, basically because governments bludgeoned P2P to death.

Where I live now, however, I still use P2P because those centralized companies give a shit about us. Most streaming services simply aren’t available on this island, which is why we turn to piracy. This, for example, is how I’ll download Kiki’s Delivery Service:

I find a link on PirateBay and then download the file ‘bit by bit’ from other users. Instead of downloading it from one corporate server, I download it from other people’s computers. And whatever I’m downloading, I share. It’s completely decentralized, except for the website I get the links from.
