"There are so many reasons to be interested in peer-to-peer. You can be interested in it for resilience, because there are no middlemen, so it's going to work if any of your devices are online. You can also just be interested in it from this angle, the idea that if you have full control of your data, and the code that you're using, that you're running on that data, then anybody can fork it, modify it, tweak it, and create a whole... That's where the Cambrian explosion comes in, this whole proliferation of apps that give users very different experiences."
~ Andrew Osheroff

In this conversation, I had the privilege of joining Mathias Buus, David Clements, and Andrew Osheroff from Pears.com, Keet, and Holepunch for an engaging fireside chat about the transformative power of peer-to-peer technology. Together, we explored how P2P is reshaping the internet, enabling greater freedom, and redefining how we communicate and collaborate in a decentralized world.

This conversation delved into the intersection of technology and liberty, highlighting the potential of P2P to challenge centralized systems and empower individuals. Whether you’re passionate about Bitcoin, decentralization, or the future of digital freedom, this was an inspiring and valuable discussion that I’m excited to share again.
