you have good points. the only thing about ipfs, the pointer is a hash of the file, so there is no way of having the same pointer directing to another file. but I agree about the museum parallel.
your points make sense, and I follow the discussions about what can characterize spam since the counterparty war in 2014. it is a dense topic in bitcoin.
why don't you use counterparty?

counterparty is an option, also raretoshi as suggested by DarthCoin below.
I will check back with the community about the options. I need to understand if the person asking is just a degen or if they really value having a tokenized version of the autographed book on their wallets.
As I live far from the community, they asked to have an alternative of a signed book, in digital format. That's why I'm evaluating options and thinking about whether to do it on Bitcoin. I also have been reluctant to incentivize inscriptions.

ipfs still requires an address to find, no? or does it have a search function that allows you to find files by their hash?
reply
the address is based on the hash of the document. it is unique for each document and used also to avoid storing duplicates.
