Bon jour guys Would you do this project if there would be no Bitcoin? 😊

Cheers.

Hello,

good question!

We are looking at Internet decentralization and privacy since the arrival of Internet in our homes.
With the advent of mass hosting services, big providers own more than 50% of Internet (https://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/web_hosting/all).
Bitcoin and by extension the Blockchain allows to exchange values securely between individuals.

That's why we through that if values can be exchanged securely and privately, informations should not depend on third parties.
ISPs and Hosting servers are the third parties we want to eliminate by providing these services directly on the network by anyone.
TOR is providing a privacy layer but running malicious exit nodes would allow someone to spy on you and that's why we decided to incentivize these kind of nodes.

So I would say that without Bitcoin, we would not have done this project and without Internet there would be no Bitcoin.

Have a nice day!
Don't hesitate if you have further questions.
