When you're trying to sell something to people, it makes sense spend at 
least one sentence describing the thing you're selling.

Quick description:

* IPFS is a distributed peer-to-peer file store.
* Files are addressed by hash rather than name.
* There's an HTTP interface so you can host websites with it.

Obvious points:

* When you request data, the request is routed to a random set of 
strangers.
* It shares your request history with others by telling them that you 
have data on your computer that they are interested in.
* sha1 collision attacks are bad news for IPFS.

What's so compelling about it? It's basically bittorrent that can fetch 
data in order.
