I see, so in this very specific, imaginary scenario blockchain will provide access to information that could also be accessed with a VPN?

That's incredible potential! I better get in now and shill a bit on HN to convince people that it's a good investment so that the price goes up.

Good luck decentralizing VPN access to prevent governments blocking, then.

That's true, P2P networks like Tor or Torrent don't exist and are just a figment of my imagination. Building a VPN on a similar infrastructure is by definition impossible.

Great. Make it immutable and guaranteed-persistent on Tor/BitTorrent and enjoy your freedom.

Right, if I could only sign it and replicate it somehow...
