  1. Enable distributed, decentralized and persistent storage by the cryptocurrency network

Ah, I knew this smelled of web3. To answer the question, no, I'm not interested in a "free" web that revolves around crypto and blockchain because it isn't actually "free". It isn't free as in beer, because it costs money by connecting every action to a crypto transaction and it isn't free as in freedom, because the user has no control over anything put on the blockchain. The "free and decentralized web" is fancy talk for a microtransaction infested internet with no privacy or control over your own data. So, thank you, but no.
