    How do you think things like IPFS and I2P play into this decentralizing idea? (Genuine question, I’m just starting to learn about IPFS and I2P, so any info, perspective, etc, will be helpful).

Just looking at the phones everyone carries, you got like 256gb of storage, 2 thru 5g, Bluetooth, wifi, nfc, all this wireless connection, and the processing to back it up. It needs to be easy as torrenting was in 2005, we need to make the infrastructure and UI easy for everyone, then a p2p or i2p whatever can take off.
