The boundaries of the ecosystem are determined by content distribution and data collaboration, while its lifespan depends on content retention and availability. Taking BitTorrent as an example, its core value lies in transforming resource contribution and content distribution into genuine distributed network capabilities. As more nodes participate in contribution and bandwidth and storage capacity continue to accumulate, the system's availability and resilience will be enhanced, and the ecosystem will no longer be easily constrained by a single platform or single point of failure.
What does this mean for different participants? From the project side, content delivery becomes more reliable, and cost structures are more controllable; from the community perspective, shared memories are easier to preserve, and cultural assets can better sediment; from the entire ecosystem level, resistance to volatility is stronger, and long-term narrative cycles are longer. True competitive advantage often stems from these invisible but upper-bound-determining infrastructural capabilities.
If you see the development of Web3 as a long-term trend, don’t overlook the strategic position of content networks. The more application forms in the next stage rely on content assets and community data, the more the underlying capacity will be re-understood and re-priced.

That's right, applying the logic of BitTorrent in Web3 is indeed a golden opportunity.
Content permanence > single point of failure, this is the right path, otherwise it would just be a glue for big corporations.

Infrastructure has indeed been underestimated. Right now, everyone is just playing with concepts and hype. The ones that can truly survive still have to rely on these.

In simple terms, infrastructure is the real trump card; whoever controls the distribution layer wins.

In plain terms, the infrastructure determines the ceiling; there's no room for laziness.
