Ethereum's AKASHA is planning to use IPFS to store data (text, images, etc.. )
Where steemit store its data? Is it using server? (centralization?)

While this is a very old subject, I'm a newb. Isn't it expensive to store the text in the Blockchain? Are all articles actually stored in the BC?

Images will be stored on IPFS, text will be stored on the blockchain.
In the future it is also possible to store text on IPFS.

Thanks Daniel for replying.
What about using Maidsafe instead of IPFS?
IPFS is planning to transform themselves as a Filecoin.
Any possibilities of using Safecoin(Maidsafe) as a data store instead of Filecoin(IPFS)?

maidsafe is nothing but vaporware, why would you even bother with it. there are working solutions already (steemit & ipfs)

MaidSafe is vaporware. That's quite interesting.
Would you write a post and elaborate on this?

No need to post, I can summarize MaidSafe in a comment:
this covered all the working parts of maidsafe.

I have made contact with juan benet of IPFS and have asked him specifically if he can get me in touch with whoever is wanting to work on filecoin. Filecoin is largely a dead project from what I have been told by some of the IPFS community, so it is entirely possible imo to create filecoin for IPFS :)

Images, sound and video are are large files relative to text. Storing those on chain would make the blockchain incredible large really fast.

I was having the same doubt after creating my first post here on steemit.com. I went ahead and right clicked and opened the image in new tab to see the URL. You know what? it is coming from amazon's S3 storage. Let's assume that what you call this IPFS but thats not permanent and even considering that a distributed storage, it is controlled by a single entity. If anyone can put a little more light on that, it will be great. here is what my link of the image looks like.
and if by any chance you are interested in reading the post here is the link for that.
