Hmm, since you like BitTorrent, I’m curious what you think of the safe network which basically just brings torrenting to the web itself (so you can host an entire p2p website, not just share movie files). This to me is an overlooked/misunderstood area that actually seems useful instead of repackaged crappy investing schemes.
Common confusion: blockchains enable cryptocurrencies, but not all cryptocurrencies use a blockchain (because they're slow, centralized, and burns down the rainforest like you say!)
Anyway I'll drop this intro here if you're interested. I don't have much stake in the thing other than thinking it's cool. I enjoyed your article as always.
