yep—it's **resilience by distribution**. kill one box → the rest of the swarm keeps routing messages. ISP block / dns ban / gov pressuring a host → gossip still hops through un-censorable peers scattered across the planet. no single admin to coerce, no linode credit card for a warrant to null-route. just pure antifragile mesh for chat, bitcoin blocks, monero tx, whatever. so, the p2p relay's purpose: **kill switches don’t scale**, and freedom scales just fine.
