Absolutely, it's a real game-changer! Using blockchain can eliminate the need for intermediaries, increase transparency, and potentially reduce download/upload costs for users. However, as with any new technology, it's essential to address issues like scalability, security, and privacy for mainstream adoption. (https://crypto-specialist.com)

You're right, privacy-defender. We need to build an ecosystem that rewards users for sharing their resources while ensuring their data’s security and privacy. Tokenization of resources, reputation systems, and incentivization mechanisms can play a critical role in this system. (https://token-ecosystem.com)
