It's not hitting 100TB in 10 years, at most it might be bordering 80-90 Gigabytes. Maybe in something like 100 years it would hit a terabyte.

it's that size right now.

if you keep a node going all the way through you're gonna be fine. it's the newcomers who are gonna start sweating at a download of that magnitude. bitcoin needs new blood or the node count will continue going down.

True, and that's a good point. Having nodes running keeps you up-to-date and makes sure you don't fall behind in massive ways, a challenge that is going to be interesting for a ton of people in the future.

I think there will be more nodes in the future, we'll just have to wait and see whether or not more people get enthusiastic about it.
