Cohen's creation of BitTorrent in 2001 revolutionized how files were shared across the internet, paving the way for decentralized and efficient digital distribution.
Early exposure to computers shaped Cohen’s trajectory; by six, he'd begun coding, and his later dedication to privacy-oriented tech reflects his cypherpunk ethos.
The groundwork for BitTorrent was laid during Cohen's involvement in MojoNation, which aimed to securely share files through decentralized systems.
Despite its initial lack of operation, MojoNation showcased P2P file-sharing principles that underpinned the success of BitTorrent and influenced digital distribution.
