For years, the company struggled to monetize its hugely popular service. However, all that has changed since BitTorrent’s acquisition by the Tron Foundation.
The new owners introduced a crypto of the same name to expand its protocol and incentivize the network’s participants. The BTT coin is for individuals needing faster download and upload speeds and other services which would otherwise be unavailable to them as free users. The system ultimately improves the quality of service and lays the foundation for the platform’s future growth.
