So Bitcoin has been around of a little over a decade, and we can see it already takes people a considerable amount of time to download the entire Bitcoin blockchain with the purpose of running a full-node.

What happens to the folks wanting to run a full-node in 20+ years when downloading the entire blockchain takes months and months to complete?

Will they just have to suck it up?

Will pruned nodes be their only option?

Do we already have solutions for this?
