I’m not actually that supportive of “forever” or “permanent” NFTs. Using onchain data for NFT data is a waste of space imo. Why bother with IPFS then? Because like most things in nature, preservation happens when people care. If people don’t care about a particular NFT then it can be cleared off the network and reduced data waste. If people do care then anyone can grab the CID and pin it to ensure its persistence on IPFS. The difference between using centralized storage and IPFS is that it gives the people a choice as to what should be preserved, rather than someone just flipping the switch on their Cloudflare account.

I get what you're saying - I've got plenty of NFTs I've minted that I wouldn't care about if the media were lost - but my PFP is art done by my sister, and I like that it'll always exist as long as the Ethereum blockchain exists. Best $23 of ETH I've spent.

Im certainly biased, but I lowkey feel more comfortable with IPFS persisting data than data written onchain https://warpcast.com/emo.eth/0x3a2b8f6d

Hmmm. And the costs of running an IPFS node are presumably less than running a full historical node. Or so I guess. If only someone had written some kind of IPFS setup guide I could follow to find out...
