It would take time and money to build. I disagree. This problem is a problem anyone can solve with no money. The problem is easy to understand in 5 minutes. I’ve explained it in [this post](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/rethinking-the-road-to-decentralisation/3123/7). All you need to try solve it is your brain and optionally a sheet of paper. If you find a good way to solve it, other people will build it. We’ve had 5 years of high market cap where tens of billions flooded the blockchain ecosystem. If this proved anything, it’s that incentivizations and money alone don’t solve problems. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.polkadot.network/t/data-storage-availability/3124)._
