RE: Can Steemit Be Shut Down Forever? Can We Truly Decentralize? Distribute?

Who can be a Witness (server) for Steem?

It seems that you have to vote for the witnesses. This may mean that only the top 30 witnesses are actually distributing the Steem blockchain.

Steem = Bit Torrent / Bitcoin / P2P / etc?

It seems that the nodes, the servers, of the Steem blockchain, is not completely like Bit Torrent or Bitcoin which seems to allow for anybody to download the app, the program, to host the nodes, servers, the pieces of the pies, of the networks. If Steem is not already doing that, they should be.
