Using Ethereum and IPFS (https://ipfs.io/) to facilitate sharing of genomic and clinical data. Couldn't this be done better using BSV and IPFS? @323 https://www.jmir.org/2020/3/e16810/

Definitely, but you could simply use BSV alone for this use case to perform all the required functions.

Yes, isnt BSV the same as IPFS but with a built in monetary system? The other networks lack the incentives which is what Bitcoin provides.

I agree. The data in that paper are probably small enough to store on-chain. But such summary data are often derived from more voluminous data (e.g., the whole-genome sequence of an individual is usually ~100 GB). Surely such data wouldn't fit on chain?
