$FIL "Data and information are value in themselves." To understand the distributed storage project, I think we cannot simply evaluate the commercial application value given by how many people or companies use it.
In the past, human memory and wisdom relied more on books, calligraphy and paintings to preserve. However, with the advent of the digital age, our lives are increasingly migrating to the "virtual space". Our "joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness" are gradually recorded as data. These data, whether good or bad, are not only snapshots of a certain moment, but also witnesses and continuations of our existence.
Hundreds or even thousands of years later, these data will become the key to future generations' understanding of us. Every record, every file, and even every frame of video is evidence of our existence.
"Investing in Fil" is not only a recognition of its application value, but also an investment in its long-term data storage capacity. Fil uses a decentralized storage network and incentive mechanism to ensure that data can continue to exist on a longer time scale, and can avoid the risk of damage or single point failure.
If Fil can continue to advance their original vision, I think that regardless of its future commercial application value, the existence of this data itself has long been "immeasurable". For FIL holders, this is more like an investment based on the consensus of future "data value". #“Hold your FIL”
