If they could figure out a way to seamlessly eliminate maleware, spyware, etc. that would be a huge win for BTC. BTC theft via malware is going to be in the news for a long time, and will honestly be a big deterrant to new adopters.

The architecture was known as packet switching: messages were broken into small packets of data with address headers telling them where to go. Then, that data scurried through a web-like network of nodes and recombined at their destination.
