What Makes BitTorrent Unique?
BitTorrent's original goal was to disrupt the legacy entertainment industry and the way consumers obtain content.
Expensive and inefficient distribution networks became a major target, with original developer Bram Cohen seeing the benefit of allowing internet users to distribute content among themselves directly.
In the early 2000s, BitTorrent became a P2P file sharing platform, with TRON stepping in in 2018.
Under TRON, BitTorrent has expanded its user appeal to those interested in decentralized solutions and cryptocurrencies, as well as to its own user base.
Among the added features is BitTorrent Speed, which uses BTT tokens as part of its operations.
BitTorrent has also expanded into a paid service, offering several "premium" versions of its platform that include VPN capabilities and ad-free browsing.
