The 1970s was an era of individualism and a decentralized internet. While not all of the circa 1970 trends may be coming back in style - I’m looking at you, tie-dye t-shirts - decentralization is very much back in vogue, and it’s definitely not going the way of the 8-track.

Since Storj’s humble inception at the Texas Bitcoin Hackathon four years ago - you know, the one where our cofounder Shawn Wilkinson and his first Storj prototype won the main prize - our team has been through a lot.
