The world now has a compelling reason to make the internet operate again as peer-to-peer in addition to client-server?

(I am presuming there is a reason bitcoin was originally designed as peer-to-peer and not client-server i.e. it was not an arbitrary decision.)

The silver lining of the bitcoin movement, if there is one, could be that it provides internet users with reasons to want the network to reliably operate peer-to-peer. Not to mention reasons to want to understand and use asymmetric cryptography.
