Peer-to-peer networks had been around; remember Kazaa and Limewire?

Those were the days - dialup internet! and waiting for a few hours to download just a few songs.

I reckon once Steem fixes the current problems it has (spam/scams are one of the major issues) we will see a spike in price and Steem has the potential to be an industry leader (it already is??!) - or atleast a price to reflect this :)
