Enki on Nostr: Well, assuming full blocks for an entire year at the current 4 megabyte limit, it's ...
Well, assuming full blocks for an entire year at the current 4 megabyte limit, it's only ~205 gigs a year. You would have to have 365 days of full blocks for that to happen though, and at least currently that's not happening.
I know I'm not really an expert when it comes to Moore's Law and data storage, but I know data storage does continuously get cheaper. So I don't know, it's hard to predict. But because you're asking someone to make a prediction, and I could be totally off my ass, but I could see people having maybe three, four hundred gigs a year And I think we would be able to maintain decent decentralization. I don't really know, though. And this also assumes that block sizes are full entirely for an entire year.
