    The BitTorrent protocol was developed by Bram Cohen, who later went on to create the company BitTorrent Inc in 2004. BitTorrent Inc developed 2 software clients, μTorrent and the other simply called BitTorrent, both are proprietary.

    In 2018, BitTorrent Inc was purchased by a cryptocurrency company called TRON. In 2019, BitTorrent Inc released a new feature called BitTorrent Speed and a cryptocurrency called BTT. BitTorrent Speed allows μTorrent users to buy/sell torrent bandwidth with BTT.

    BTT is currently worthless and BitTorrent speed is basically useless when it's only supports by 1 proprietary client.

    Cryptonerds are trying to ruin torrenting. Cryptonerds stay losing.
