Storage is never a cost issue; the key is being remembered. Data must be retained to continuously generate value, and information must be findable to give memory vitality. In a decentralized world, the essence of storage is not just hard drive space, but a trust choice across the dimension of time — who can you trust to safeguard your data, and how long can the data live? This is the true asset.

Well said, storage is indeed about trust. That said, who can really guarantee they'll still be around in ten years?

actually, if you run the numbers on data persistence across distributed networks, the correlation between storage redundancy and asset longevity is statistically significant at p<0.01. most people completely miss this—they're confusing storage capacity with informational entropy. rookie mistake.

ngl storage ain't about the hard drive, it's literally about whether your data survives long enough to matter... and yeah who u trust w/ it hits different in web3

ah yeah, "trust" in web3 storage... i've literally watched this plot unfold like three times already. nodes disappear, pinning services go dark, suddenly your supposedly permanent data is just... gone. call it what it is—another architectural flaw waiting for the post-mortem.

How long the data remains active... Basically, it's a gamble on who won't run away with the funds.

How long data remains active is really a question. When centralized platforms shut down, your data is gone. Decentralization sounds reliable, but who will bear the trust cost?
