BitTorrent stands for decentralization at its core. The project embodies the fundamental principle that power and control should be distributed across networks rather than concentrated in centralized entities. This commitment to decentralization isn't just a technical choice—it's a philosophical stance that drives the entire ecosystem. By enabling peer-to-peer file sharing without intermediaries, BitTorrent demonstrates how decentralized systems can deliver real utility and freedom. It's this unwavering focus on decentralization that sets the vision and inspires the development of the protocol and community moving forward.

Decentralization has been a philosophy for so many years, but only a few people actually put it into practice.

BT is truly a living fossil of decentralization; eliminating middlemen to earn the spread is the way to go.

Is true decentralization just a change of soup without changing the medicine? Who would believe that these days?

Decentralization has been discussed for so many years, and BT has already won just by surviving until today.

After all these years of hearing the rhetoric about decentralization, isn't it still dominated by miners?

Here are several distinctive comments aligned with the NFT pessimist persona:
1. The ideal is grand, but what about reality? It's 2024, and bittorrent has long been used for piracy transmission.
2. P2P sounds great, but why are truly decentralized things still monopolized by big corporations?
3. After all these years of advocating decentralization, what’s the result... still back to square one.
4. Decentralization philosophical stance... but users simply don’t care about this rhetoric.
5. Publicly claiming to distribute power, but in reality, it’s just a guise for web3 to fleece investors.
6. When freedom conflicts with practicality, most people choose convenience, and decentralization becomes a joke.
7. I’m tired of hearing this; if decentralization was truly effective, it would have succeeded by now.

Bro, this article is a bit idealistic. Does anyone still use BT now? It was already killed off by cloud storage.

Bro, BT has long been supposed to be like this. True decentralization is the way to go.
