One GEO is enough as it can be accessed from half of the planet. I don't want to send a constellation of satellites into LEO. Redundancy can be achieved within the same satellite.

How to launch satellites in orbit

Just to be extra safe, the satellite will contain a data destruction device Patent for secure erasing of data (which of course also works in space and can be activated from Earth)

Several dozen of LEO satellites will cost as one GEO. The price difference is due to launch vehicle.
CA or HA setup may be configured, but it's prudent to have location redundancy, not only component one.
I have no idea what this is about, nor aspire for it 😉... however this clearly depends on the purpose, doesn't it?
Okay, and what should be the benefit of doing so? I try to understand it ns2

For example, you could store data in space.

what are the benefits of storing data in space compared to storing data in the IPFS or any blockchain?
that's not a benefit but an obstacle (not only for the 3-letter guys but also for you as a user).
just compare the ease and speed of downloading data from IPFS/blockchains to downloading data from the orbit.
The storage device becomes physically unreachable (with the current technology it is impossible to physically access a satellite).

The difference is less than 300ms.

the data in the IPFS/blockchain is unreachable too, unless the "bad guys" would raid every single node which is theoretically possible but practically unachievable.
There are use cases when satellites have integrated storage function. But, that's related to sqlite database with relatively low capacity - orbital trajectory, busters' management, remote login authentication. Those parts are protected from solar radiation and heat generated by busters.
You would be able to mount storage server within a satellite, but it should be with all components redundancy. Consider that server CPU is not intended to have redundancy, so when one fails, portion of RAM and other components would be inaccessible. So, a blade server network may be optimal for your case.
GEO orbital trajectory wouldn't degrade like LEO and MEO. But, other detrimental forces will impact operational readiness. Beside that, you would need to legally structure the whole project and maintain a ground control for orbital trajectory management, whatever orbit you potentially select.
But, without redundant satellite, you would became a history first space gambler 😎 There is no Zurich insurance in space - what if a meteor hits your one and only satellite fin4774"
Well, not quite. To access, maybe. To render it inoperable, yes. Both Russian Federation and People's Republic of China have anti-satellite weapons

Nominal latency for GEO is 700ms and for LEO 50ms - excluding atmospheric and ionospheric influence.
