The physical weightlessness of digital documents, combined with the permissionless decentralization of the internet provides an incredibly durable tool for saving threatened information.
The existing network of global servers allows for the copying and near instantaneous sharing of information to anywhere in the world.
What this means is that in times of crises, knowledge that at one time in history may have faced the threat of destruction could be easily saved.
The value of the technology then, becomes at least equal to the value of the information that can be saved. Depending on the quantity and quality of that information then, said information may be quite literally invaluable.
Making the internet itself infinitely valuable.
