Bitcoin Soars, Filecoin Grows, & What is IPFS?
Bitcoin Breaks $50K,
It Appears Primed To Make Milestone Look Irrelevant
Everybody watched Bitcoin make an assault on $50K assuming a successful outcome. At last check, Tuesday, 8 a.m. (EST), per CoinGecko, BTC was $50,250 and climbing. New key-level markers ($52K-$54K) are being bandied about.
And then there is PlanB’s S2F supply-centric model sticking by its forecast that $100K could happen as soon as April.
Before BTC can convert “halfway-to-six-figures” into a phrase no one will ever remember, there was the business of unquestionably breaching the coveted threshold. Early on Mardi Gras Tuesday (EST), BTC did it, briefly reaching $50K, before easing back, Decrypt said.
Filecoin Now Has a Global Capacity of 2.5 Billion Gigabytes
The Filecoin network continues to grow—now its storage capacity equals thousands of copies of Wikipedia and tens of copies of the Internet Archive.
Interplanetary File System (IPFS).
The InterPlanetary File System is a protocol and peer-to-peer network for storing and sharing data in a distributed file system. IPFS uses content-addressing to uniquely identify each file in a global namespace connecting all computing devices.
