What’s the hottest thing in the coin world this year? Familiar people know that IPFS/FIL is the most popular. Some time ago, Chia and BZZ suddenly exploded, but after Chia was “named”, it has since fallen into a slump. From the beginning of the 2-day cycle to the current 2-year or more cycle, many people have been trapped by Chia.

The Swarm BZZ, which has become the King of Heaven level project, was also very hot in the past period of time. However, after the main network of BZZ was launched, it did not keep up with the competition. Until today, it plummeted 94%, which should prove that word: born in a bad time.

Looking back at IPFS/FIL, in October last year, the expected FIL mainnet online, the price skyrocketed, but this does not mean anything, and FIL has since started to decline, the lowest time fell to 20 dollars, this time in the horizontal period, everyone thought that FIL fast not good, but FIL also show the edge, not affected by the market, It’s been going up dramatically. Why does this happen? As a matter of fact, anyone who pays attention to FIL also knows the good news that came out in March and April of this year. National support IPFS new infrastructure, Singapore Dollar Technology invested $580 million to buy IPFS equipment, Gray Trust continued to hold FIL. Tencent, Ali cloud and so on have been in the IPFS field of continuous exploration can know the influence of IPFS in this field, then the application value of IPFS in the end any embodiment?

The IPFS protocol was originally developed to supplement the HTTP protocol and solve the existing centralization problem. Thus, the IPFS protocol itself is a decentralized network infrastructure.

The relationship between Filecoin and IPFS is a separate but closely related project launched by the ProtocolLab. Filecoin is an IPFS-based application that combines the features of IPFS with blockchain technology. In essence, one is the incentive system, and the other is the base protocol. Filecoin is the incentive layer of the IPFS network. The incentive mechanism is the use of FIL tokens, which is the only proof of settlement for IPFS in a distributed storage network. In IPFS, Filecoin blocks, order transactions within the network recognize only FIL currencies, so FIL currencies are required throughout the network. Satellite ipfs9090

On May 26, China launched the “East Number-West Computing” project, which will transfer data from the eastern coastal cities to the western region for computing and storage. Because the cost is lower in the western region, this will bring major opportunities for distributed storage and FIL coins, because the IPFS system is used for storage. This great good news, I believe that the people who know it must be able to see the opportunity here, then can seize the opportunity depends on everyone’s awareness.

FIL is called the second BTC but it is a green industry, and FIL as a token of IPFS distributed storage system is more practical value. IPFS distributed storage is more than just a project or a coin. It is believed that IPFS will replace HTTP distributed storage in the future. It is more like a technological innovation in the Internet, subverting the centralized storage methods such as Ali cloud and Huawei cloud, and at the same time realizing the consensus of global landing applications. It can be said that it has made a positive contribution to the whole society!

Distributed storage is not driven by research, it is forced by market environment! Distributed system storage is playing a more and more critical role in the Internet era, especially in the future, distributed system storage will grant the blockchain market industry and other traditional manufacturing industry greater space and infinite possibilities.
