Filecoin - A decentralized storage network introduction

Filecoin is a a decentralized storage network and has just launched the Mainnet on October 15, 2020.

I just grabbed the introductory video from their website (https://filecoin.io/) to present how a decentralized storage network is envisioned to be working, what mining options are available and how those are working and what other specific options are to Filecoin.

I was always intrigued by the storage solutions in blockchains and the market seems to bring more and more solutions which creates competitivity and grabs a big piece from the big players - Amazon, Google and Microsoft. This video should be introductory enough for anyone interested in this domain and I will try to come with a follow-up post with more details, mining node costs and other options on trading or staking Filecoin tokens.
