To join many Bitcoin based peernetworks - you first contact one of the DNS seeds. Which is traceable by LEO. Ethereum has their own DNS and other security protocols which bypass this problem - which would be attractive to those who use cryptocurrency to avoid LEO.
Quantum internet is different than QKD. The best analogy I can give is its like the difference between Morse code and the internet. Things like quantum teleportation, superdense coding and distributed quantum computing through a quantum internet will be revolutionary.
Since I had to look it up: LEO = Law Enforcement Officer(s) in this context.

Thanks for that, I initially read it as “Low Earth Orbit” which didn’t make much sense.

Why?
> quantum teleportation
What is the practical near term (next 10 years) applications? I can't think of any.
> superdense coding
Somewhat better compression is hardly a killer app, especially given the costs imvolved.
> distributed quantum computing
Need actual quantum computers before you can have that (definitely more than 10 years away imo). I'm also a bit unclear as to how applicable quantum algorithms are to parallelization in distributed machines.
DNS? Not sure how that's relavent. And furthermore why would a crack down lead to more popularity?
> A qubit will travel around the world without decohering and increase attention on quantum internet investments
Well that would be good for researchers, there are basically 0 applications so i'm not sure why it would generate imvestment excitement (who needs QKD when you have public-key crypto?)
