It's not just connection speed that will prevent normal people from running Bitcoin;  the best internet service I can get at my house has a 250gb monthly limit.

Also, I'm currently running full nodes on computers with 500GB hard drives.  Is that the message?  "Buy bigger computers and move somewhere that offers better internet service" ?

What kind of wallet will I be able to run, and will it depend on centralized servers?  If we can use a pruned blockchain or some kind of new wallet, could we please have these new wallets before any hard fork?

I understand that some changes may be necessary, but decentralization isn't one of the things that ever needs to be changed.

I'd like to trust Gavin, but he says he's been selling BTC.  That doesn't give me confidence in whatever changes he's planning.
