Now my point being, whether it is Monero (likely at this point in time due to its tech) or another crypto down the line, blockchain bloat will be the least of the intended target audiences worries. These are the same people you are targeting who pay much higher fees in the real world for these services and a bigger blockchain is in reality a joke in comparaison.
Sometimes we step too far away from the real world problems that can be solved and dwell too much on smaller technical issues that are definatly acceptable in some situations in regards to the solutions they offer.
I'm saving this to quote later;) It's an excellent point, and it mirrors some of my thinking. I'm unsure as to whether we will have a cryptocurrency in the next, say, 5-10 years that will tick *all* of the boxes. There are always going to be compromises. Is a disk space/bandwidth compromise (especially when coupled with with access to light wallets / multisig web wallets) a particularly bad one? I tend to think not. That's not to say we aren't going to try solve the bloat "problem", but it also means that we don't have to figure out an uncompromising solution
right now. Rehashing this over and over again isn't going to make a solution present itself any faster (not directed at you, just speaking in general).
