Storing data is cheap and gets cheaper all the time. This isn't a super comparison, but the Internet archive's 2019 revenue is listed as $36.7 mil on Wikipedia

Storing data is cheap and gets cheaper all the time. This isn't a super comparison, but the Internet archive's 2019 revenue is listed as $36.7 mil on Wikipedia (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Archive https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Archive). Hard to compare Bitcoin directly, but its market cap was around $1 billion in 2013 and cleared $1 trillion for the first time a little over a year ago. I get that this article is about people using their personal computers to help archive things, but I don't think the Internet archive is ever going to be using resources even remotely as aggressively as cryptocurrencies unless they somehow turn all their archiving into cryptocurrency.
