Filecoin – the decentralized storage network to match your needs

Finding the right storage is essential in today’s world. In the launching stage, the upcoming Filecoin is the solution to human’s data storage requirements. A powerful and dynamic distributing cloud storage network solution, Filecoin can be used for storing contractual information, personal files, company-related files, websites, podcasts, application databases, security archives and even public datasets! Not just opening up the cloud-hub for you to access but making it convenient and secure, meeting all the data-related requirements that you could think of. You can read the project’s whitepaper here.

A decentralized cloud storage system where IPFS (Interplanetary File System) are combined with peer-to-peer distribution network protocols, making the entire system more secure where the corporate panel no more has the authority on the system protocols – the power of decentralization.

With everyone being allowed to participate, Filecoin introduces an extreme competitive environment for the businesses where cryptographic storage proofs being recorded and stored correctly provide an edge to Filecoin users.

Other related cases of usage of the Filecoin include data exchanges, Humanity data storage, standard blockchain use cases, payment base, time-stamping and storage of value.

The ICO (Initial Coin Offering) of Filecoin took place over 03 years ago in 2017 and was considered to be the most successful ICO to that date, raising $257 million. This broke the previously held record of Tezos which had raised $232 million in the same year. Interestingly, the price of the ICO was designed to raise by every $40 million that the venture managed to raise, starting from $1 and adding $1 for $40 slot filled. The price was finally capped at $6 per token. It is amongst the fewest projects which have made to the Forbes.

The current price of Filecoin based on different exchanges is $24 which shows that even if the maximum price is taken for calculation purposes, even then the project has managed to gain 4x over the last three years for its hodlers (spelled out like that in the crypto world for people who hold).

Is being able to use the Filecoin Tokens into business the only way of benefiting from the project? NO! Why did you not think about it? Look at the chart below showing price movement of the Filecoin Token over the last three years:

Looking at he above graph, it can be seen how the $6 (max price of ICO) escalated quickly to $29 in the early 2018 following a mass depressed move and then side-ways movement for over two years. Right after two years of accumulation, we have finally witnessed a spike which has led the coin to already give a gain of nearly 5x in a few months’ time (From Q1CY20 to date).

How could you have benefitted these moves? How can you benefit from the moves coming ahead? This is the question that should have come to your mind of you are a true trader! And, the answer is – by trading it!
