For example, a 32GiB expands to ~480GiB during the sealing process.

(And yes I stand corrected and it is only about 10:1 on a single miner at least, but I think there is also some further significant network replication involved). Edit: also note the significant other hardware requirements. Edit2: now I remember where the higher ratio came from… typically commercial data-storage is done on Raid6 or similar, so storing something 10:1 on an raid system gives you the a even worse ratio, but maybe not 100:1.
Yeah, ICOs suck, but that is just how Capitalism works, no? /s
