The latest news from the Western World: As of March 17, 2021, the effective computing power of the entire IPFS-Filecoin network is 3.314 EiB; the average 24-hour mining income is 0.1012 FIL/TiB (1T computing power output is about 0.1012); the current sector pledge amount is 0.3042 FIL/32GiB (9.73 FIL is required to pledge for 1T); the latest price of FIL is $64.89!
Frontline reporters from Western World reported: The Filecoin China Community Forum is officially launched. Good news for Filecoin continues, and the commercial storage market and scenarios continue to increase. So how much can Filecoin eventually rise to?
The rapid growth of Filecoin's effective computing power means that more and more miners are participating, and the cake is so big. The more people who eat the cake, the less everyone gets! This is also one of the reasons why FIL prices continue to rise slowly. Home ipfsguanfang discussion
What Filecoin ultimately does is commercial data storage. Purchasing computing power and cloud computing power can only get mining block rewards. Only physical mining machines can get the benefits of future commercial data storage and retrieval! It is estimated that from 2022 to 2023, the project party will begin to store commercial data. By then, there will be a big gap between users who hold effective computing power and cloud computing power and users who hold physical mining machines!
Filecoin has three stages:
1. Block rewards (the official test rewards). Miners provide hard disks to store data to test the stability of the network and prepare for future commercial use. Home ipfsguanfang discusses
2, storage revenue (commercial stage), the company stores data in the miner's hard disk, and needs to pay the miner fil.
3. Retrieval income (commercial + personal), the user needs to pay fil to the miner to check and use the data in the hard disk.
Filecoin has entered the era of EiB storage. IPFS technology is no problem. There are many ways to participate. The risk lies in how to choose miners and projects. At present, the main network has been online for more than three months, and the data is open and transparent. However, many large miners no longer accept orders for mining machines from C-end users, and a few miners also target B-end and C-end users. Therefore, many small sales companies have appeared in the market, and it is difficult to guarantee the safety of investors' funds and their income. Filecoin mining channels continue to shrink. In fact, there are not many opportunities left to ordinary people.
At present, there has been a large amount of large capital intervention in the market, and a "secondary market" will appear in the future. Perhaps the market outlook retail investors are facing a higher threshold and can only participate in FIL investment in the secondary market, which is easy to become a receiver, rather than a layout.

Under such a high staking mechanism, under the harsh block reward release mechanism, and under the severe punishment mechanism, why does the computing power not decrease, but skyrocket instead? The number of miners has not decreased, but there are more new miners? Obviously, there is only one reason-profitability.
Western World believes that Filecoin will gradually build its own distributed storage empire in the future. This is exactly the vision of the white paper. Filecoin is the first blockchain project that truly serves humanity and allows human data to survive forever.
