what will happen when a blockchain becomes the size of trillions of terabytes?

Is that possible

I think dbs can be pruned also DELET THIS

Even 1 terabyte would take 1140 years with the block time of 10 minutes assuming the block size stays at 1mb

The block size is already no 1MB idiot

God you can't go in any crypto community without reading something factually wrong every 10 seconds

In 100 years Bitcoin blockchain will grow by 5.256 terabytes, so you would have to wait a bit for that to happen.

https://blockexplorer.com/blocks check the rightmost tab. Most blocks are around 500 kilobytes.

Current activity has nothing to do with the claim that block size "stays at 1mb." We've had 2MB blocks since segwit activation

not even a quarter, but for the sake of the argument, it will take 250 years for it to reach 1 TB

at some point true blockchain pruning will be developed

>An alternative path is to separate some old transactions/data from main chain storage as a cold archive while maintaining the world state snapshot and subsequent transactions/data. In that case, new transactions/data can be appended to the blockchain, the world state stays consistent, and users and developers can still download full data from the cold archive and recover all history.

Where is this cold archive stored sir? I'm sure you thought this through sir and it's definitely not a centralized location right?
