some company is making internt with the same technology as bitcoins.
https://www.engadget.com/2017/05/24/blockstacks-decentralized-browser-bitcoin-blockchain/
>Now a startup called Blockstack is relying on the technology to power its decentralized browser that runs without existing infrastructure. It's similar to Bittorrent's Project Maelstrom browser in that it loads websites from peers instead of from servers, which can protect your privacy and safety online.
>To note, Blockstack is actually a browser add-on, not a standalone browser: after you install it, you can load it on Chrome (like what I did in the image above), Firefox or Safari. Its current iteration is pretty empty, and unless you're a hardcore fan of decentralized internet or Silicon Valley, it might not appeal to you just yet. The version you can download today was created with developers in mind, so they can easily make applications for the browser that you can use later.
>"I can't think of any browser that's come out that does all these things and allows the developer to just be plugged in and build an application without having to worry about any servers, worry about any databases, worry about building any identity management system. Just 400 lines of code -- boom -- you have a decentralized Twitter."
also fuck the captcha

If they were using something like license-free radio modems and mesh networking it would be something, but this is a big nothingburger.

Blockchain is the latest industry vaporware buzzword.
Everyone in finance is talking about it.
The concept has merits but at the end of the day its a pack of neckbeards looking for relevance.

I was going to make a thread about this
https://blockstack.org/blog/introducing-the-blockstack-browser-a-gateway-to-a-new-decentralized-internet
This is the site that is doing it. The site is being shilled by Fred Wilson, the guy who invested in Twitter and a bunch of other web 2.0 companies (he is Union Square venture capital, so he is the money behind web 2.0). This thing will become huge.
Additionally, Fred is a huge bull on cryptocurrency.
