Something like IPFS? https://ipfs.io

And it sheds a really bad light upon it for me. I like the idea of IPFS but cannot stand all this coin snake oil.

I think the /idea/ of IPFS is very useful. On the other hand, I think the creators are way too interested in bikeshedding and writing new white papers for less useful things. They just aren't interested in providing real value to end users. They have this early adopter bubble that seems to be quite popular but I don't think it's going anywhere.
