Hi all,

I was wondering whether or not a decentralized environment such as Ethereum, and all projects built on top, will be very expensive to use? I see the point of decentralization, but since anything you do on the network costs fees, won't this be a huge barrier compared to what the mainstream is used to today? (Ie everything should be free or close to)

For instance, if I want to use StorJ or Golem or anything like that, won't I need to pay fees in both their native currencies as well as in Ether?

So if we were to have a decentralized social network, would all users have to "pay" to use it ?
