Stefaan Vervaet, Heat of Network Growth at Protocol Labs

45 minutes

Episode 8 of the BCR podcast brings Stefaan Vervaet from Protocol Labs. Protocol Labs is building decentralized internet infrastructure through two different independent (but related) projects; the InterPlanetary File System, or IPFS, and the Filecoin (FIL-USD) decentralized storage protocol.

Topics we covered during the podcast include but are not limited to:

why decentralized storage is necessary compared to more popular centralized businesses

what kind of applications stand to benefit from using decentralized storage

data monetization at the individual level

how does the user engage with a protocol like IPFS?

growth through application developers vs individual users

token incentive for participants and for Protocol Labs

how to deal with theoretical criminal behavior

This was a fun discussion and I hope you guys enjoy it. Remember, you can get access to the full downloadable version of every BCR podcast episode by subscribing to my Seeking Alpha research service BlockChain Reaction.
