That's the idea. The guys behind IPFS are working on Filecoin, which attempts to incentivize hosting files on the IPFS network.

So the problem of slowness is due to too few peers? Doesn't make sense if that's the case.

Yeah, the IPFS network is essentially just its own BitTorrent network, that uses hyperlinks to address content globally, and blockchain-like versioning system to track changes to files

I say blockchain-like, b/c that word has become synonymous in peoples minds w/ crypto currencies. In reality, it is a blockchain and more. A blocktree, if you will. Merkle trees.

Dunno. I don't know the technology very well but I don't think it would make a huge difference.
