not another argument..
ok short version.. just 5 years ago everyone was saying 500gb was a large hard drive size.. now retailers sell 4TB and higher..
so in 5 years time multiple TB hard drives will be the norm..
going back further, just 15 years ago a 3.2GB hard drive was the more than average size...
so dont worry about data bloat. as technology will grow faster than the need.
infact you can now get something the size of a postage stamp that can store 60-80 years of data, at current bloat growth...

so relax. it wont cost the earth to hold the blockchain. and if the transactions do grow.. new upgrades WILL be available..
so lets lock this thread and merge it with the other 30 scare-mongering threads
