I was thinking of total supply in the other reason I mentioned:
- smaller supply (is there any estimations when XMR will over come BTC's supply?)
But thanks for all the info. Also interesting link, thanks!
@7jaka7, could you explain why you think the size of blockchain has an influence on the price?
Just for the reasons you mentioned, i.e. if blockchain would take 0,5TB (or more) of disk space I think there would be a lot less nodes which also makes whole blockchain less secure (or not?) and if some kind of attack would happen I believe price would decrease a lot. After all this is what give it it's true value.
P.S. I assumed that XMR transactions takes up more space due to ring signatures. So if there would be same number of transactions on BTC and XMR blockchains Monero's would grow faster.
Thanks for the links @Samarkand

I saw this yes. This could actually be a big improvement.
After the new rules, however, this figure will be slashed to as much as around 2.5kB in size for all single-output bulletproofs.
This is still a lot bigger then BTC transaction on average, which is around 0.4kB.
