BitTorrent AND NETWORK EFFECT MULTIPLICATION
BitTorrent scales through participation rather than capital intensity. Each new user strengthens the network instead of burdening it. This inversion of traditional infrastructure economics explains BitTorrent’s durability. Capacity grows organically. Availability improves with demand. There is no central point to overload or censor. These characteristics align naturally with decentralized philosophies. BitTorrent proves that networks designed around contribution age better than those designed around control. In Web3, this lesson is foundational rather than optional.
