But let's not pointlessly argue.

No, instead, let pointfully recognize how friggin awesome Monero is.

I mean I still don't get peoples hurdle to it. Then again, I talk to people that don't get Bitcoin, so its not that far of stretch to imagine that monero is impossible to understand.

I mean, how did the Internet become popular? Its a set of protocols, and the protocols provide information. People apparently love information. Can;t get enough of it.

Cryptocurrencies are different though. Its a similar breakthrough in protocol and ability - but much like the original software was possibly never imagined to do the things its doing now, wtf will monero be doing?

My prediction: KYC ultimately goes away. The internet is a giant meshnet like hyperboria, and web sites are hashed and served p2p (like IPFS or bitTorrent). This means all content is immutable and censorship free. All requests require a micro-payment sent to the seeder. Anyone can surf or stream for free as long as they also seed content to others for payment.

Could this be Monero's killer app? A decentralized, bitTorrent-like p2p network where leechers pay seeders to serve them content?

I love this idea. Would be a new basis for freedom of speech and association and commerce.
