Booms and busts in crypto affect the market price, not reliability. Historically, blockchains with significant adoption and robust engineering like Bitcoin and Ethereum have had 100% uptime since near inception. Filecoin is newer (think the network went live in 2019), but since this relies on IPFS, you can also just back up your files in any other way (hard drive, cloud, etc) and the IPFS protocol will pull a file from any of several pinned data sources on the network.

I think curl added some support for ipfs recently. Saw a previous discussion here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37628525

I could link a helper script to download the file later
