Re: how many gigs is the blockchain, and how much bigger will it get?
Currently have 10 gb and in the future maybe in 2033 have 20 or 24 gb
Check this. 7 GB growth in the last 12 months.

At this rate, 20 GB will be in 2015 or 2014. Someone bringing a new full client online could take days - header only clients will increase in popularity as the block chain grows.
At least the rate of growth seems to be constant.

yes, there has to be a solution for this someday because its to big in some years, even when the internet is faster .....but there are some ideas already for this problem and iam pretty optimistic
