The main question remains - whether "decentralization" is really something that people value. I would not be suprised if people stay at Dropbox/Google. This is something I started to notice a while ago - people involved in crypto tend to overestimate decentralization. And crowd.. just does not care. So if there is no demand for decentralized storage - storjcoin price will go down. If there is demand - it will go up. Doesn't really matter what early adopters would do.

Even if people don't value decentralization, increased redundancy and higher privacy, they will value cheaper storage!

Yes, that's true, most general public (users) won't think too about decentralization and privacy. But security and costs are the 2 factors that are going to drive people to start using storj(Metadisk).

Yes, price was driving the choice until the iCloud hacks after that cloud security entered in the mainstream.
