How long can a blockchain story be told? The old copycat has not lived for two years, and the new favorite DeFi has been cool for a month. And some stories can be told slowly, even after three or five years, before they reach the beginning——
"Once upon a time there was a mountain, there was a temple on the mountain, and there was an IPFS in the temple." Filecoin officially announced that the main network will be officially launched when the block height reaches 148888. It will start on the evening of the 15th or the early morning of the 16th.
This has been a big news for six years.

Lian Pofan and beauty late, the biggest enemy of the IPFS chariot
Fillecoin, ETH, and Zcash were once regarded as three carriages, representing the core elements of distributed storage, smart contracts, and anonymization respectively. After many years, Ethereum has become a myth, Zcash has become empty talk, the chariot of smart contracts is rolling forward, and the road of anonymous coins is bumpy.
On the chariot of distributed storage, there are too many unstable factors.
Mining machines, futures, the long-awaited main network, and the forever quarreling community are like vulgar plots in third-rate TV dramas. However, people in the currency circle do not need to take a break to sing on stage in this good show.
Once at a drinking party, a senior discussed the marketing logic of IPFS with me. I said something while I was three-point drunk, and it is still used as a joke in the circle:
"The marketing logic of IPFS is to constantly make various entrepreneurs mistakenly believe that IPFS is about to go online, and follow the trend to do projects in order to catch hot spots, so that more investors can participate in follow-up projects. Penny is happy, but I just came to tell you, hey, IPFS is no longer online, the follow-up project is dumbfounded, investors remember instead, IPFS does not market itself, who is marketing it for it, it is STORJ, it is SC is BTT, it is Yotta, and the final winner is only IPFS."
The joke is so, but the winner is not IPFS, but his opponent.
Time is the worst enemy of IPFS.
This is a concept put forward as early as 2014. 2014 is too long a year for the currency circle. The three-digit Bitcoin, the Ethereum that has not yet appeared, the Litecoin is still "Lite Silver", and BTS is that era Hottest story ever.
In 6 years, Ethereum has grown from scratch and overcame obstacles; Wright Silver has become Wright Iron; BTS has changed from the best story to the most notorious joke.
No one can guess that Bitcoin will break through 20,000 in 2014.
Just like no one can think that Shanghai's housing prices can quadruple in 2014.
This time is too long, until IPFS is like a bubble that is always in front of you but can never be touched. In the years when it was a bubble, it was not that there were no other projects.
SC, STORJ, BTT, and even Yotta, who has turned his back on the sky, dare to challenge the former king of IPFS.
Although so far, they are still dubbed as "cottage distributed storage", it is only because the expectations of IPFS are too high, which makes all projects in the common field difficult to catch up.
In the pack of wolves, the alpha wolf has the supreme status, but when the alpha wolf grows old, his teeth degenerate, and his sharp claws are no longer sharp, his companions will become the most vicious enemies.
Just wait for you to get old, pounce on it, and devour it.
Every distributed storage project is like the red-eyed lone wolf, longing for IPFS.
Waiting for food, also waiting for the throne.
And this throne belonging to IPFS is really as indestructible as you imagined?
If you think so, why not take a look at the EOS of "Millions of TPS", "Blockchain 3.0", "Three Waves of $500", and "1000 in a lifetime is enough".
It took six years for IPFS to climb from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, but it may take only one month before it will be beaten back to the bottom where it used to be.
Because the time is too long.
The concept that once led the era may no longer be advanced.
The technology that once stood out from the crowd may no longer be excellent.

Distributed storage is very fragrant, but who can catch up with the banquet
Distributed storage is a good feast, and IPFS is the starter, but who can eat meat depends on the traffic.
Traffic is a game between social focus and eyeballs. Embracing traffic is the most inviolable rule among the many rules of the blockchain. No one will fight against traffic. This is an artifact. The road of rebellion, and those who rebel, will enter the dark corners of the times, not worth mentioning. From Bitcoin, to Ethereum, to DeFi, the road from traffic to wealth is paved wider and smoother.
And IPFD is the latecomer who embraces the artifact of traffic.
Distributed storage cannot, and will not be, a high-brow product, because its essence is to allow people with free storage space on the hard disk, or people with spare bandwidth, to take out this part of the storage space and bandwidth as exchange for profit.
Both sides of the transaction, one party uses money to buy space and bandwidth, and the other party exchanges idle resources for money. This is a perfect business logic, and correspondingly, more people are needed to support it.
Filecoin has done just that. It has created an auction house, where anyone who becomes a monk will save first, forming a buyer's market and a seller's market, allowing everyone to take out storage space and bandwidth. Make transactions online.
But the problem is that no one stipulates that you must buy space on IPFS.
Why can't I buy space on the STORJ chain?
Why can't I buy space on the SC chain?
Just like Uniqlo's clothes are very cheap and practical, but some people like to buy Handu Yishe, and many people like to go to D&G; to be taken advantage of.
Integrate 100 clothing stores, Uniqlo, Handu Yishe, D&G; on the same platform, let you trade, this is Taobao.
Integrate 100 distributed storage projects, IPFS space, STORJ space, SC space, in the same smart contract, let you trade according to your needs, this is a feast of distributed storage In, the belated guest.
It's called IPFD.

IPFD, the Tmall of distributed storage
The full name of IPFD is InterPlanetaryFile Dao, which is very direct and simple. It uses the concept of DAO to manage distributed storage protocols. IPFD itself is a DAO, which is very similar to MAKERDAO. MAKER DAO implements loans through pledge to achieve liquidity, and the whole process is realized in smart contracts.
IPFD also puts the whole process on the smart contract. The public chains of distributed storage are directly linked to the smart contract of IPFD, and the storage space and bandwidth are placed in the funds of the smart contract through tokenization or other forms. in the pool. The demand side of the storage space applies to the contract through assets such as ETH/USDT/IPFD, and directly completes the transaction on the chain. The transaction is carried out through the smart contract. Both the supply side and the demand side directly trade with the smart contract, which also learns Adopted the Compound model to seek fairness in the transaction process.
As for ensuring the security of smart contracts, the security of funds, and possible contradictions in the operation process, IPFD has introduced the IPFD small court, and IPFD holders will participate in on-chain governance as jurors.
Do you ever feel like you've seen it somewhere?
If you think of IPFS as Uniqlo, STORJ as H&M;, and BTT as ZARA, isn't IPFD just a Tmall mall?
Really fragrant.
Really fragrant.
Whether IPFD is Amazon on the fast track or Ebay on the way to death, no one knows, but in the encrypted world, it has never been too difficult to issue tokens, increase market value, and embrace traffic.
Change is the difficult thing.
Therefore, IPFD issued an auction on TokenSwap.
500 ETH, all sold out, I didn't even have time to buy it.
The auction link is still there, but the tokens are sold out
https://www.tokenswap.finance/pool/8
2020 is the golden age of traffic.
At this point in time, Binance, Uniswap, and Bitmex with traffic are flourishing, while small exchanges and DEXs without traffic have left their respective markets.
We can't predict the birth and death of a project, we can only foresee that there will be more and more distributed storage projects, and the concept of distributed storage will become more and more popular. The IPFD of traditional storage will also appear sooner or later. The small distributed storage public chains gather together to keep warm, eager for the IPFD platform to give traffic dividends, and IPFS is sitting on top benefits, and it is also enjoying the gluttonous feast in the IPFD system.
In these distributed storage projects, some people will move forward with heavy burdens, and some people will slowly leave, but it has nothing to do with traffic.
The IPFD took to the arena and found that it was a never-losing contest.
There is only one big winner.
