Summary
In this special episode of GTwGT, I speak with Zac Cohen (COO and founder at FileBase) about a topic that many think is still far away from being a reality... some that think is a science experiment... and others think is an out and out scam. That topic is decentralized storage leveraging Web3 and Blockchain technology. Zac and I talk about how mass adoption is a matter of when, not if... and more importantly, for those that want to understand what it is and isn't, we talk about what makes this exciting way of storing and accessing data function and what benefits it offers over traditional data storage platforms.
☑️ "Decentralized storage offers a different way of thinking about how to store and access your information. Data is distributed across nodes geographically distributed and connected through a peer-to-peer network"

| 0:28.3 | indifferent, what I wanted to do today was talk about decentralized storage. And the reason why I've got |
| 0:34.1 | Zach from FileBase on is because he is part of a company called FileBase |
| 0:40.1 | that basically offer, you know, decentralized cloud-based storage through an S3 protocol for the masses, right? |
| 0:47.6 | So bridging this whole Web 2 versus Web3 world. |
| 0:50.7 | And I thought for this episode, we'll just get Zach on and chat a little bit about what |
| 0:54.5 | that all means, right? Let's debunk decentralized storage on the blockchain. So welcome to the show, Zach. Let's do it. Good evening. Good afternoon. Hey, Anthony. How are you? Hey, very good, very good. All right. So just before we get into it, I just obviously going to do the shout out.

| 1:35.6 | Maybe that's the next thing, or maybe there already exists. |
| 1:37.8 | Who knows? |
| 1:38.6 | You've got to store it somewhere. |
| 1:39.9 | But, Zach, what I wanted to do maybe just beforehand is just introduce yourself, you know, what |
