Bitcoin is p2p, the final frontier.

Depends on what you're trying to achieve. P2P for apps is possible only if your ISP allows it and most don't. Someone ends up having to run a turn server which defeats a lot of the benefits of p2p such as not requiring a server, and latency/bandwidth not having to hop through multiple hops. Saturating the few turn servers..

Anyway, yeah p2p is cool. It's not that solutions don't exist, it's that everyone uses their phones and lacks basic network skills in the US. People from oppressive regimes are networking geniuses in comparison because they had to learn it or risk the deth penalty.
