Bandwidth doesn't really matter to the average BitTorrent consumer, I believe that's his point. When did you ever wish to download a file through P2P and you were worried about bandwidth allocation? It's more of a let it run and because it's free on a resource that is already paid (internet connection) it doesn't matter.
I am a but naive with crypto coins for every use. Maybe I am stuck up on my love for P2P but cannot understand why we need the complexity and the ever increasing cost of blockchain to allocate disk resources.
I believe the combination of ICO craze with the hype of crypto as a gambling for this generation created a golden hammer.
I think the only real problem these storage tokens try to solve is incentivizing people to seed random stuff without active selection made by the seeders.
Whether or not we need a cryptotoken for that is debatable, but I don't know of any other alternative that would keep the system entirely decentralized.
It's also a matter of availability. Lots of people only seed when they're downloading something else. I've had torrents in the single-digit MBs take over a month to download, simply because the seeders were never online.
