Why hasn't Bittorrent been supplanted by an onchain protocol? - Blockchain can be always online seeder of last resort - Smart contracts can add economic incentive layer if needed

Performance and scalability File storage also is an issue bc decentralized storage isn’t as performant especially with large file sizes

Even IPFS? What's the practical upper bound there?

Don't think IPFS compares to other solutions at scale with large files around performance but i'm not sure Tagging people who know much more than I do about this @polluterofminds @stevedylandev.eth

All peer to peer solutions are slower than traditional cloud solutions, so the real question is what are the requirements? Credible exits, meaning data is decentralized but you still use centralize performance enhancing solutions? Or fully decentralized usage where you only use p2p? If it's the former, IPFS is every bit as fast as any other web scale storage solution. If it's the latter, then you're not going to get web scale performance no matter what.
