sure we can store files on blockchain, but it will be very inefficient and bloated in size
it would be better to have a blockchain for storing "references" to actual file location
the file can be stored in multiple locations, and the blockchain serves as a pointer to them
I'm thinking of "napster meets blockchain", we have distributed file sharing and then blockchain to keep all valid references

I like this idea
We have a new project and it is necessary to store files on blockchain, we are not at that stage but it is good to know that we have some options Smiley
