What is with the BitTorrent thing ?

[Matb001]

Why did Vitalik talk well of BitTorrent before it was Tokenized?
Is this just an Ethereum vs Tron thing?

I was really confused when reading about the BitTorrent token as BitTorrent is an open protocol that was released 2 of July 2001

BitTorrent was like the Pre-Peer2Peer generation of crypto but without tokenization.
BitTorrent is indeed the best thing that happened to crypto because it's not controlled before & with it been tokenized & joining the cryptoshere, it' the perfect potion to be here (in crypto).

BitTorrent has already tens of millions & millions of users loyal to the way how it works, it will be the best deal for sure for anyone holding those tokens.

If they just made their sales outside binance platform, i'm sure they could've gathered more millions of dollars so easy. This is a killer investment program for sure with a working product for years passed & to come for sure.

BitTorrent is a file sharing platform, that has announced that it will be having its own cryptocurrency. It will be used by users to pay for higher file speeds of download on the firm''s windows-based uTorrent. It also eyes to further develop a decentralized sharing ecosystem using blockchain technology and cryptocurrency.

It is indeed a very efficient protocol in sharing huge amounts of various data on the internet since each part of the file downloaded by the use is transferred to other users.

Its tokens - BitTorrent Token (BTT), according to its Founder, Mr. Justin Sun, is the first in a series of steps to support a decentralized internet. In one giant leap, the BitTorrent client can introduce blockchain to hundreds of millions of users around the world and empower a new generation of content creators with the tools to distribute their content directly to others on the web.

BTT is one of the few non-hype token in the crypto market. This is the product of uTorrent, which has more than million users worldwide. And also if they can fulfill their promises in the future, top 10 is guaranteed.

BitTorrent is somehow an inspiration for bitcoin. It's a decentralized file sharing service, which is very interesting and have many similarities to ethereum and bitcoin. It was recently bought by tron, so the company philosophy may change now, this is why Vitalik may have changed his mind about it.

BitTorrent was acquired by Tron. It's been pumping for quite a while now, one of the top performing ICOs.

I never think if this was acquired by tron before, AFAIK BTT has already created by the different company than tron. But that makes sense to see why CEO of TRON was shilling so hard for BTT.
One of the top profitable ico in this year.

Yes, BTT has already created by different company, but Tron already buy it.

Bittorrent is famous already.. people use the project since a long time and they have supporters with alot of fiat to waste in a tokenized asset that belongs to torrent based project and the token itself ia rubbish.

i don't follow what Vitalik says, i find it a waste of time. but the thing about Bittorrent is that it has always been and still is a open source peer to peer protocol that millions of people around the world use. but the application and the company called bittorrent was sold to Tron and they abused the name to make millions from its brand alone when they ran a shitty ICO to raise a ton of money for no reason. and that is a scam in my books.

After getting hitted by binance the price surged more than 110% for the first hour and people bought whole sold tokens of ICO under 15 mins. In bear market this dream came true and getting listed by binance help them to push price limit more higher.

You are late to the party friend. BitTorrent launched there token BTT Token. We all know BitTorrent as a p2p file sharing platform and they have launched their own cryptocurrency recently. Everyone above has told about that in brief.

They gave out about 20% of BTT Tokens are airdrops to those who owned TRON(TRX) coins at 6.6 million blocks. A screenshot was taken and for every 1TRX holder, 0.11BTT were distributed. More such airdrops are planned to take place in future so stay updated.

BitTorrent is safer to use than filesharing programs that download completely at once, BitTorrent also creates the same risk to your computer as other file sharing programs. Just because a file is divided into several partitions does not mean that every part of the file has the content that you want to put together. Torrent users are also overshadowed by the same danger that each file is divided into different views, that the files they download can contain viruses, spyware and adware. Every downloaded file creates this danger.

As long as the torrent site is active, it is safe to download files from torrent sites. Many torrent sites act as search engines only, which do not actually save the file that you want to download.

Vitalik is a true crypto enthusiast. Though he might have been wrong in a lot of stances, though he rarely speaks and when he does, he never fails to speak out his mind.
He have talked good about many coins, suggested problems of some, solutions for some and is not just a blind follower of ethereum but also a critic.
