There's nothing I love more than a chicken or egg argument. Nobody is doing B because there isn't a company that has a scalable B option yet.

But hey, your argument is totally valid, which is why everyone is still programming in Cobalt!

Sarcasm aside, option A works and option B does not, as you admit. What's your counter-argument? If it is that option B will one day be better than option A, you will need to provide evidence because that's a claim that is not addressed in the posted filecoin.pdf.

Argument to the Future. You can't provide evidence of a future event and asking for it is a joke. Maybe Sia/File/Storj are the future maybe it's something else, but asking for "evidence" of a future event is a joke.
