Driving ferraris gets old, I'd much prefer to be inventing decentralized file storage.

I agree, but those cars and the attention is just so tempting. And then in Thailand. Imagine kite surfing, drinks, anything you want for small cash. Hell, you could even contract someone to write that damn file system people are whining about.

@jbenet has discussed funding for open source infrastructure in-depth in a YC podcast back in June: https://blog.ycombinator.com/ipfs-coinlist-and-the-filecoin-... (transcript included)

Driving Ferraris... vs. Writing distributed file systems...

One of these sounds much more fun than the other.

Hint: It is not driving Ferraris. ;)

In the long run, I think driving Ferraris would get old much quicker than writing file systems, so yes, I tend to agreee, but in the short run, I doubt it.. Hell, park a Ferrari in my drive way and I would abandon my customers here for at least 3 days.. :D ... But thats just me..
