In this post we're going to compare two of le plus grande P2P file-sharing networks! IPFS and ye olde BitTorrent. This research piece is based on a lot of experience I have with IPFS, namely integrating it into Dappnet.

To begin with, since a lot of people don't actually know how they work, I'm going to cover a little bit about their technical designs, and then we'll go into their practical differences.
