At first, I was very excited about bitcoin's possibilities as a decentralized, immutable, and uncensorable system for data storage. "Your data backed by a billion dollar asset class" was my thinking. I even investigated building programs to automatically chunk data and write it to OP_RETURN.

Over time I decided it was not a good idea, that bitcoin was not designed for this purpose, and that if I wanted a decentralized data storage system I should look to other projects.

Through that I found IPFS which I thought it is cool, though I haven't been following its updates. I do wish for its success, or the success of similar projects.
