We download data, files, executables, games and all sort of things from the internet. This data is stored on a platform which can be accessed by users from a website. But a new concept of p2p sharing came into existence which is increasingly getting more and more popular in recent days.
What is BitTorrent?
BitTorrent is a popular place which is an example of p2p sharing website. The concept is about the users sharing their own data with one another without a central place. Torrent links the users with one another. Now recently the concept is taken a step even further and incorporated the blockchain into the concept.
BitTorrent was acquired by Tron in 2018. It has many new features that allow the leverage of a blockchain network. The native token is BTT which was launched on Tron by TRC-10 standards.
A major problem in the internet and real life content is how it is distributed. Expensive content can’t be shared with one another. As a result people can’t obtain it. BitTorrent’s motive was to disrupt this whole operation and allow the users to obtain the content more easily. As a result BitTorrent is a notorious place for pirated content and has faced many legal battles regarding how it is operated.
