firstly i was not the one that brought up netflix..

secondly it was about bandwidth utility where the person that brought it up tried to use netflix about "server" crap but didnt realise users experience netflix based on bandwidth.. thus they failed the comparison

if we were to discus hard drive sizes though.. my personal comparison is things like PS4/5 gaming.

yep ONE GAME is 60GB+
meaning if someone is crying about 500gb. then that is like saying they cant play more then 8 games

we are in an era where gamers have more then 10 games loaded up on their computers/consoles.

we are not in the 1990's of cd-rom (ps1)

seems those trying DESPARETLY to say bitcoin is unfit for use are using lame excuses of data measures i seen 20 years ago.. they are using scripts and outdated rhetoric that is debunked a decade ago. but they keep pushing it

i went into computer retail stores 12 years ago and seen computers that had more then 250gb

check out this example o found in a 5 second google search about someone in the UK in 2010 PC specs
https://davescomputertips.com/what-were-your-pc-specs-in-2010/
yep he had a 1.5TB hard drive even 12 years ago

so screaming 250gb is the hard drive limit of 2022 is not saying the physics limit of 2022. its saying old outdated tech of 2010

did you know that bitcoin core does not support windows vista.. and only supports windows 7 plus
windows 7+ means it supports computers of 2009+

so lame excuses about specifications of 1990's are redundant. because bitcoin core are not even wanting to support window 1998,me/XP/vista

even core devs have moved on from supporting outdated software/hardware pre 2009

so move on from scripts about bandwidth and hard drives pre 2009 spec.. realise you are all in 2022 now and things have movved on from the 1990's
