According to Coingeek, Bitcoin SV's transaction fees are currently
0.1sats/byte. With BSV's price at $60, that works out to $644/GB.

Meanwhile, Amazon Glacier Deep Archive costs $0.012/GB/year.

Assuming a 25 year data lifetime, Bitcoin SV is still 2000x more expensive =
than
Amazon. And with the number of BSV nodes quickly dwindling, I'd be inclined=
 to
trust Amazon more for long term storage.
