Filecoin is currently just a proof of concept, 
the main developement is going into the different ipfs implementations (go.ipfs, js-ipfs, pythong-ipfs) and the interplanetary linked data (ipld) https://github.com/ipld/specs .
This all should hopefully  replace http soon . No plan to monetise yet i think, so there is no ICO which could destroy that great community, which already built around this great project.
join #ipfs on irc freenode if u want .
cheers
