There are a number of assumptions being made about "P2", for example:
> a peer stores a single copy
Why? You can have multiple peers store your data and I can argue that this will be even more competitive in price.

But you can have redundancy at the service.
> P2's pricing will be volatile
This is unexplained.
- akanet 8y agoThese assertions are descriptions of the current set of crypto P2P storage systems. Peers only store one copy of your data, per peer. Of course, multiple peers will store copies of your data or the system could never work, but there isn't too much incentive for any one peer to store two copies of your data. Price volatility for these systems is already a fact, and it's unlikely that any crypto could match AWS' historical price predictability of "monotonically decreasing".
