Education should always be free but also decentralized without possibility of manipulation like we saw during the pandemic and also with recent gas lighting in what a recession is.

This should work hand in hand with the BTTC in file storage correct?

Hola, es interesante, además es primordial que todo ser humano tenga derecho a poder informarse e investigar por si mismo en plena libertad y decidir si esa información está acorde en sus pensamientos y forma de vivir.

Will users have to pay a fee for downloading books or only the blockchain gasfees?
If yes, where will the benefits go?

Awesome, a lot of projects head straight for Tron and neglect the BTTC storage and also now it’s own blockchain :sunglasses:

Looking forward to watching this project develop :handshake:
