I brought this idea up last year but with information. I compared it to blockchain. I thought blockchain was already utilizing peer-to-peer. If we can revolutionize internet communication to be torrent style widely disseminated data sharing, the only way to censor people would be through the entire infrastructure itself, and if the data is not only spread out, but also encrypted, that would be difficult to do.
quite right, quite right
Do you know these?
I think they can perhaps both contribute to a decentralized future?
And yes, blockchain is peer to peer. But most bitcoin transactions still use intermediaries like Coinbase, because we find it convenient. But really, it is and can be peer to peer. I believe the Satoshi white paper describes the first blockchain :)
(please note I’m not a technical person, so if I say something wrong, I apologize)
And this is really the platform on which the future will be built (in my opinion and more importantly in the opinion of others who are infinitely smarter than moi):
There already exists decentralized social networks.
