Interplanetary File System (Technium Podcast S02E02)

IPFS is a distributed storage network. The content is accessible through peers located anywhere in the world that might relay information store it or both, and IPFS finds data by its content address rather than its locations. We discuss the main principles behind IPFS, the current use cases, and how it changes the basic unit economics of some businesses, as well as its interplanetary future.
