When major cloud providers experience downtime, it forces a reckoning. Teams are now questioning whether centralized storage infrastructure can truly meet their reliability needs.

This shift is pushing innovation in decentralized alternatives. Building solutions on Filecoin brings a fundamentally different approach—combining the user experience we expect from traditional cloud services with cryptographic proof of storage and distributed architecture that eliminates dependency on any single provider. The result: verifiable, resilient infrastructure designed for the Web3 era.

ngl the "centralized goes boom, decentralized is the answer" narrative is getting a bit worn out... but yeah, filecoin's actually doing something w/ the ux layer that most projects skip over lmao

Centralized systems will eventually have issues; it was about time to decentralize. However, Filecoin really needs to improve user experience.

Cloud services are down again? We really need to consider distributed solutions. Filecoin's approach is indeed quite interesting. --- Centralized infrastructure has long been under scrutiny; just look at the incidents involving major companies over the years. --- Cryptography proofs + distributed? Sounds good, but I wonder if it will turn out to be another story when actually used. --- Speaking of which, when will decentralized storage truly become user-friendly? It's still a bit awkward to use now. --- Feels like another hype cycle, but what if it actually becomes a reality... --- I like Filecoin's concept, but there's still a long way to go before enterprises will fully migrate over.

Honestly, every time the cloud service goes down, I think about why decentralization is necessary, but the actual migration cost is just too damn high...
