very bad comparison in my opinion.

for starters file sharing has never been illegal as you put it here. what was illegal was and still is "pirating" which is obtaining an illegal copy of something that has a copyright!

as for owning more bitcoin, those people didn't get those coins out of thin air. they have either paid hard earned cash for them to directly BUY them or they have paid hard earned cash to MINE them. the fact that they believed in bitcoin sooner and longer than others doesn't make it unfair or centralized!!!

and finally when you say peer to peer and file sharing usually the first thing that people think of is either some of these websites like mediafire (which is fully centralized) or torrent network which is smi-decentralized since you still need a server. so it still isn't the best comparison.

Thanks very informative and useful post..well we must spread  this info all over the world..it will  heplful for noob.. newbies must  know all info about bitcoin.. be aware and stay  away from scammers.

your wrong mate peer to peer money come from the idea of of peer to peer file sharing with twist and one peer hold more info and less the same with bitcoins=mine even if you need  money for bitcoins but its was not the point, the point peer to peer money come  from peer to peer file sharing idea

send what i say to expert blockchain or some smart fox in mit he will say you ...you so fucking dumb you even dont know what you talk

and the same time you mislead noobs to understand it in the most simple way..

why some people inveted peer to peer file sharing which always was illegal and kids know this compare to you, because before peer to peer there was central servers which hold mp3,software,movies,and other stuff and the governments very fast and easy shut down this main servers, then the people became more smart and bring tech peer to peer=decentralized why??? you dumb head ass very simple becuase today if the governments want to shut down they need to shut down around 1 billion computers around the world which peer info like software and mp3 and games and other stuff and they cannot shut down billion computers which each computer act as peer=server....its just impossible

you dick head and go ask someone pro in blockchain he will say that you dont have any idea from your bullshit answer...

bitcoin come from the idea of peer to peer file sharing very simple if you dont get this you to fucking dumb with your 5 five starts in this shit forum,,

why peer to peer file sharing come to the world becuase before this the tech share file was central which mean few main servers hold all the movies ,software,mp3 and other stuff and the governments was easy shut them down and end of the story then the people find away which called

peer to peer each computer act as peerserver to share file some hold more some less, and now the governmentsnedd to shut down around 1 billion computers around the world hhhhhhhhhhh fucking dumb dick head ass


its so fucking simple kids on reddit know this and you with all your stars here so fucking dumb

even more send this info to expert blockchain he will tell this is the most clever way to explain noobs why peer to peer is great tech and from where it come


do you hear your self how much shit you talk and you have starts in this forum hhhhhhhh fucking dick head

when you say torrent is not full decentrilzed you dont understand what you speak like all other here lets look why

torrent its real decentralized  tech peer to peer , the same napster and emule and other.....lets look on the defenition

Napster=torrent is a different way to distribute MP3 files. Instead of storing the songs on a central computer**,  the songs live on users' machines *. This is called peer-to-peer sharing, or P2P. When you want to download a song using Napster, you are downloading it from another person's machine, and that person could be your next-door neighbor or someone halfway around the world.

when you dumb head say you need server hhhhh its becuase you dont know what you output from your mind,,,because the server is your pc=peer

hhhhhhhhh do you understand this.

you say: those people didn't get those coins out of thin air ------my answer the same with mp3 and software and movies it didnt come from thin air

peer to peer money like bitcoin come from the idea of peer to peer file sharing ask expert blockchain.

Bad idea to promote bitcoin. You can call internet decentralized, it doesn't reside in a single server and is distributed in different servers around the world. The servers are computers, devices. So, everything in internet are as decentralized as bitcoin.
The thing is we don't know how decentralized the bitcoin is exactly but it seem to be much decentralized than fiat wealth, where some 26 people have 50% of wealth.

They would promote anything that makes bitcoin look bad. They are so intended in making bitcoin look like an evil currency that they sometimes forget bitcoincash too is a fork from the bitcoin with 1:1 ratio distribution according to the holding. Anyway, we should be open for discussion and level of decentralization of bitcoin is a good topic.

mate he is dont have logic to understand tech who have know to spot shit on the web and stay away from it,, to be undepented

who was you teacher very interestin so much bullshit in one post and to much general and messy

every tech that work on peer to peer without middle man its called decentralized  whether it money,movies,software and other shit..


the internet is not decentralized some something that seat on the web is decentralized like torrnet,   but soon the web will be fully decentralized for sure.

then you say The servers are computers.....but i laready explained this to the first one which was saying you need special server in torrnet peer to peer tech where in fact your peer is peer/server .

then you say : The thing is we don't know how decentralized the bitcoin is exactly but it seem to be much decentralized than fiat wealth, where some 26 people have 50% of wealth.

its the nature of peer to peer tech some peer hold more some less and it depend on several factors so with bitcoin why some wallets/peer hold more bitcoin then other wallets/peer because some people are much more smart and was spot the gold idea tech of peer to peer money without money and started to collect it fast , and if one peer/wallet hold more bitcoins then other its mean its not decentralized, hell NO .

so fucking easy, bitcoin can grow to astronomical number per one btc ask smart teacher in math he will show you the equation the number is so fucking scary this is why some people collect as much they can they know everything and dont depend on others they know to figure out everything them self

bitcoin is not just one small thing. its a protocol, its a network, its a currency, its a brand.

firstly the 'brand' is centralised around a group of devs called core.
the code/protocol is also centralised around a group of devs called core.

the currency is decentralised as there is no single database of account
the network is predominently run by one code source. again core

now to compare it to file sharing. its like only being able to use one brand of torrent software from one source to be a full filesharing seed.
yes the movie/music/game is then distributed throughout thousands of users but even getting the link to start leaching requires connecting to a central server.(most bitcoin DNS peer discovery servers are managed by core)

yes bitcoin can become more decentralised by no longer REKT campaigning other dev groups that want to be on the same level network as core. but thats a fight thats been tried for the last 4 years and core are winning.

...
side note.
someone mentioned about pirating files is illegal. stating about copyrights. well thats only half the story. even having a copyright doesnt auto make distribution illegal. as mit licence/copyright allows it. its the copyright terms which would state stuff like fre to view but illegal to resell for personal profit
this is where you can stream videos for free, but if you try to monetise it EG youtube adverts. or putting videos onto DVD and selling at garage sales/bootsales expect the authorities to slap your wrist


in summary
the currency is decentralised and distributed
the users are distributed
but the code and protocol and brand is centralised to one group.... and that needs to change
