What is IPFS 0:35 - 1:30
IPFS is a distributed system for storing and accessing files, websites, applications, and data.
What does that mean, exactly? Lets say youre doing some research on aardvarks. (Just roll with it; aardvarks are cool! Did you know they can tunnel 3 feet in only 5 minutes?) You might start by visiting the Wikipedia page on aardvarks at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aardvark
When you put that URL in your browsers address bar, your computer asks one of Wikipedias computers, which might be somewhere on the other side of the country (or even the planet), for the aardvark page.
However, thats not the only option for meeting your aardvark needs! Theres a mirror of Wikipedia stored on IPFS, and you could use that instead. If you use IPFS, your computer asks to get the aardvark page like this:
/ipfs/QmXoypizjW3WknFiJnKLwHCnL72vedxjQkDDP1mXWo6uco/wiki/Aardvark.html
TIP
The easiest way to view the above link is by opening it in your browser through an IPFS Gateway. Simply add https://ipfs.io
One of several competing crypto-powered cloud storage platforms, Storj allows any computer running its software to rent unused hard drive space to users looking to store files.
In this way, you can think of Storj as an alternative to cloud storage platforms like those offered by Amazon or Google. However, instead of a company owning and maintaining the software, Storj relies on software and a network of computers to manage its data storage.

![Ethereum Merge: How Proof of Stake will impact the ETH ecosystem
This video will outline when Ethereum 2.0 is coming and what this new world order entails.
Outline
ETH 2 0:00 - 0:12
When is ETH 2 0:12 - 0:23
Proof of Work 0:23 - 1:54
Proof of Stake 1:54 - 2:55
Security 2:55 - 3:22
Alt Coins 3:22 - 4:07
Ethereum is a technology for building apps and organizations, holding assets, transacting and communicating without being controlled by a central authority. There is no need to hand over all your personal details to use Ethereum - you keep control of your own data and what is being shared. Ethereum has its own cryptocurrency, Ether, which is used to pay for certain activities on the Ethereum network.
#ethereum #proofofstake
Launched in 2015, Ethereum builds on Bitcoins innovation, with some big differences.
Both let you use digital money without payment providers or banks. But Ethereum is programmable, so you can also build and deploy decentralized applications on its network.
Ethereum being programmable means that you can build apps that use the blockchain to store data or control what your app can do. This results in a general purpose blockchain that can be programmed to do anything. As there is no limit to what Ethereum can do, it allows for great innovation to happen on the Ethereum network.
While Bitcoin is only a payment network, Ethereum is more like a marketplace of financial services, games, social networks and other apps that respect your privacy and cannot censor you.
Proof of stake is a consensus mechanism used to approve cryptocurrency transactions. With this framework, Holders of the native token of a specific blockchain can stake their coins, allowing them to check new blocks of transactions and add them to the blockchain.
Staking is the process that will replace mining to verify Ethereum transactions once the merge is completed.
Staking requires users to lock up a certain amount of cryptocurrency to participate in the transaction verification process. In a proof-of-stake model, an algorithm selects which validator gets to add the next block to a blockchain based on how much cryptocurrency the validator has staked.
Investors must stake at least 32 ETH to become an Ethereum validator. There are currently more than 300,0000 Ethereum validators. The more ETH each validator stakes, the more likely that validator is to produce blocks. Each time a validator produces blocks, the validator earns rewards in Ethereum for handling validation duties.
Currently, the staking yield on Ethereumโs Beacon Chain runs around 4.3% to 5.4% annual percentage rate (APR).
With Ethereum trading at roughly $1,900, the minimum requirement of 32 ETH, which is more than $59,000, staking can be quite pricey for the average investor.
But individual investors can also join staking pools, which are collections of Ethereum stakers who combine their resources and split the rewards. Most large cryptocurrency exchanges also provide staking services for investors who are not willing or able to commit 32 ETH on their own.
