Ability to pay with a credit card to upload private files to the blockchain would be really cool for non-bitcoiners who would like a place not owned by a single mega tech company or reliant on physical hardware to store files.

ex. I want a place for fam photos/vids. Rn I do private FB album/private YT. Both proved willing to deplatform people for unpredictable reasons. No one wants physical hard drive. Encrypted onchain means not owned by 1 co. If CC payment, super easy onboard.

How can this this be non-custodial but also not denominated in satoshis?
Could be "failsafe" storage. If one-click "import from FB album" and pay with credit card, would dramatically increase user base. No need to care about BSV, just concept of distributed file storage with private key to access. Many apps could render.
Is it encrypted or unencrypted images?
I think the trouble would be private key management. If you lose access to your moneybutton encryption / private key, you're screwed.
Could pitch it by encrypting some photos you already have public with your public key, which means the service couldn't even decrypt it themselves.
"Here's a public photo of you that is uploaded to the blockchain that only you can access. Pay for more?"
Import from FB reminds me of LBRY's "import from Youtube"
