benefits of DeSci tech #3

Split out from #1:

In "Ceramic streams vs Git Histories", would it be possible to add a line about "anyone can host an IPFS node", indicating that storage doesn't rely entirely on the public network but is rather supplemented by it

@erik-descilabs My hunch is it will be better to link to a separate document to go into the benefits of specific tech. In some narrow cases, like a dPID is human-friendly, but a DSI is only URL-friendly, I think mentioning that benefit is a very useful quick contrast.

Regarding "anyone can host an IPFS node", I don't see that as a meaningful contrast. Anyone can host a Git repository, so why mention that anybody can host an IPFS node. I doubt it will be a productive for us to go back and forth about what exactly does "anyone" mean and what "being able to host" means. I say link to a separate doc about IPFS.

I also currently do not believe this language of "IPFS storage does not rely entirely on the public network". I doubt it will be productive to go back and forth carefully crafting language on what IPFS does or does not rely on and what Git repositories do or do not rely on. I say link to some other document talking about how awesome IPFS is.
