This isn't useful for 99% of stuff and pushing every video and music file on earth through a global state machine with the performance characteristics of an Atari from the 80s would render the thing inoperable. The entire Bitcoin network has a bandwidth of like 1mb every 10 minutes, the total size of the blockchain is half a TB in total, people torrent more porn in the time it took me to type this.
Maintaining a global, complete history of transactions only ever made sense for one problem, double spending, and is utterly useless for sharing files.
