In 2016, this became apparent with the DAO hack. One way to fix the problem was to implement what’s known as a “hard fork,” which would essentially update the Ethereum-based software to fix the technical gaffe that caused the hack to begin with. But DAO users had to agree to this change, and there were dissenters. Though the hard fork was approved, it created two active blockchains with two different sets of rules.

BitTorrent lost its relevance ever since the decentralised media network, Tron, made sharing files easier and faster, and the TRON Foundation purchased BitTorrent. Later, BitTorrent purchased DLive, a blockchain content-sharing platform where creators can monetise content without having to share with the network.
