Same here. IPFS seems to have been lumped into the whole "crypto" scene because of filecoin. In my opinion, IPFS is much more interesting and potentially beneficial to individual freedom than crypto. The problem is the only people really talking about it are people focused on crypto, also forcing dapp conversations to focus on quick money vs. long term usability/functionality. I don't hold the money conversations against anyone...just not interested in that side of it. More interested in the preservation of knowledge long term and how/if that gets built. IPFS seems to be an interesting potential step towards those goals.

There's still a bunch of questions around filecoin, but if you set aside the token and speculative nature, the it's the first realistic proof of storage system and represents (1) a departure from proof of work that's sucking up the power output of several countries for no good reason, (2) a useful base for IPFS to store its bits persistently and (3) perhaps funding Protocol Labs so they can continue to advance this state of art.

I find it really cool that Brave implemented IPFS.
