Steem and EOS will work together and EOS file storage will allow Steem top store all our media on chain as much as possible and not rely on off chain services or IPFS!
Here is a close up of the above image presentation showing how EOS File Storage allows for Human readable usernames and addresses unlike IPFS which uses bulky names, making it easy like steem makes it much easier than Bitcoin and here is a close up of the image!
(For example this steemitimages.com link can in the future be our OWN steem run EOS file storage server and eventually we can have a new version of steem maybe hard fork 22 allow for an EOS file storage like system, we clone the system and taylor make it for steem and add features like getting paid to host popular files :D Beneficiary rewards would honestly be one way to allow for this, when you host the post that makes the most you get to Boast, and make a Toast. We can even have a new sort of curation system that can be tied to some IPFS or EOS storage like file system decentralized with users hosting each others files, like pinning a file on IPFS, even webtorrents can be thrown in there like @lanmower 's amazing idea replacing steem front ends that cost too much resources and money to host, with things like Apps or chrome extensions or just PUBLIC internet infrastructure, just use a persons web browser to be front end etc.
Here is the Video that this screenshot is taken from which explains EOS Storage which is a system Steem can use or copy for its own File Storage. This EOS Storage system is a project by @dan Larimer Founder of Steem Blockchain and Cofunder of Steemit Inc with @ned Scott current CEO.
at 4:22 in that Video which i linked that timecode to, will play this part of the presentation about FIle Storage coins like Siacoin and Storj and how EOS Storage and EOS File System will allow for Storage Contract which can store a picture etc.
So Excited!
