The Internet is the most important tool in
our everyday lives.
Debatable. And probably not central to how IPFS works. Why put this rather unrelated statement up front? What am I as a reader supposed to do with it? Skip it as fluff? Think about if I agree? What if I don't?What I get from it is the feeling that the author likes to hear himself talk and make points that emphasize the importance of his words. While he does not care if he presents valuable information to me. Otherwise he would have skipped all the fuzzy fluff and got right to the point.
Can you imagine a sentence like that on top of an essay by Paul Graham?
Let's look at one of his most classic, most profound articles. 'A Plan for Spam':

Does it start with 'Email is one of the most important ways to communicate in the modern world'? No. He gets right to the point: 'I think it's possible to stop spam, and that content-based filters are the way to do it.'. He puts his message right upfront.
If you have something to say: Say it. Don't talk fluff and waste your readers mental resources.
