Hey I think that IPFS is very nice and all, but it seems that everyone who is developing IPFS or client software is involved in some kind of Crypto startup that ultimately wants to earn money through IPFS.

Have you noticed that as well and what are your thoughts on it?

    no, not really, i would even say the contrary, most ipfs projects whose development i follow are very libre and often have no intention of earning money by any means at all

    the only thing that i would slightly question is utilizing etherium…

    may i ask what projects you meant in particular?

      For example Filecoin is developed by protocol labs, the same people who develop IPFS. I feel like for them it’s an integral part of the use-case of IPFS.
