227 sats \ 7 replies \ @DarthCoin 13 Jan \ on: 1 terabyte hard drive cliff bitcoin
can everybody afford a machine with a 2 terabyte hard drive?
  1. the price per TB is getting fucking cheap every year.
  2. Bitcoin is not for everybody, only for the brave and knowledgeable. Not all grandmas have to run a node, damn it. You the knowledgeable one will run it for your family.
  3. Don't worry too much, zero sync is coming https://zerosync.org/
LOL when I see people complaining about how much occupy the blockchain on a damn drive.... guys, you are fucking secure your generational wealth not playing games !
You are spending lots of money on bullshit crap but you can't afford a damn 50 cuckbucks for a damn 2TB drive that will secure the wealth of your entire family?
I am sure you have many more TB with bullshit useless photos on your mobile than that node with blocks.

The problem ZeroSync solves is orthogonal to the issue of hard drive space. If someone is worried about hard drive space they can run a pruned node -- the full history and all future blocks are still fully validated, just not stored on the hard drive.

People arent understanding how insignificant the price is compared to the reward. People just want to make free profit without having to work for it.

A lot of people say that the legacy wallets also have too high of a fee, but who cares about the fee? In a month, you will have made the fee 5x over. You have to put things in perspective, though. All the big miners, I bet they have 2 or 3 copies of the blockchain just in case.

You may need to take into account that some people (I’m talking about myself here) are simply not smart enough to understand zero sync no matter how much we read about it…

Yeah, I'm thinking more from a decentralization standpoint. So I'm always going to run a node no matter what. So will lots of people in rich countries. But that's the whole problem, right? If folks in less wealthy countries simply can't run nodes, doesn't that create a concentration?
