the point is: the chain is already pretty big. If it becomes 20 fold as big i will be forced to stop using bitcoin because i don't want a lite-client or rely on 3rd parties with my coins but on the other hand can't afford upgrading harddrive all the time (especially not with these bad btc prices).

If you raise blocklimit 20-fold it will become unaffordable for normal people to store the blockchain on their computers and because of that people loose access.

No need to post the same thing in 2 separate threads. Here is my answer:

Why does everyone believe that raising the block limit will instantly raise the blockchain too? It will not. It will take time until that will happen!
