🌐 If it’s not **direct peer-to-peer (P2P)** over **TCP/IP**, it’s **NOT truly decentralized.** $BTC $DGB Let’s break it down 👇 🧠 **TCP/IP** = Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol. It’s the *digital foundation* of the entire Internet — the universal language that lets computers talk directly to one another across the world. 📦 **IP** is like an address — it tells every packet *where* to go. 📬 **TCP** is like certified mail — it makes sure the data arrives safe, complete, and in order. Together, TCP/IP makes **true end-to-end communication** possible — no servers, no middlemen, no permission needed. ⚡ 🤝 **P2P (Peer-to-Peer)** means your device connects **directly** to another person’s device — not through a company’s cloud, not through a login screen, not through someone else’s API. Just **you ↔ them**. 💎 That’s what *real blockchains* do. Every node runs its own software and talks **directly over TCP/IP** to other nodes worldwide. They share blocks, verify transactions, and keep the network alive — *no gatekeepers, no central control.* 🚫 But if you have to “log in,” “sign up,” or “go to a website” to use it… you’re not using a decentralized blockchain. You’re using a **centralized app** sitting *on top* of the Internet pretending to be decentralized. 🔥 Real decentralization = **You ↔ The Network** **Node ↔ Node** **TCP/IP ↔ TCP/IP** Zero intermediaries. Zero permission. 100% freedom. That’s what the Internet was meant to be. That’s what blockchain was born to restore. 💪💙 #Decentralization #Blockchain #P2P #DigiByte
