If the trends (~1.8 MB average block size after Ordinal popularity) continues compared with past trend (~1.2 MB average block size), i would say far longer if we project in next 10 years. In terms of size there would be ~307GB difference (see calculation below).

Code:

0.6 MB * 144 blocks (total blocks mined per day) * 365 (days) * 10 (years) = 315360 MB (~307 GB)

but that's 10 years. in 10 years, we can probably expect 4TB SSDs to cost under $100. Or near it. So an extra 307GB in 10 years is nothing.

With BRC-20 (and similar protocol), the worst part isn't storage but rather UTXO growth. In last 2 months, total UTXO is increased by about 15 millions.

wow! that's not good for bitcoin. i guess its time for people running nodes to beef up their RAM... Shocked

I guess that's another problem with bitcoin is how there's no limit on the size of the utxo set.

And here i still use HDD to store Bitcoin blockchain.

why not? nothing wrong with bare metal. Shocked
