> Storage is the big cost problem. Where does all this stuff go, and who pays for it? IPFS was supposed to be the distributed answer to this, and Filecoin was supposed to be the way to pay for it. That didn't work out. On the other hand, if someone wants it out there, then maybe they have to pay to store one copy.
