There are already 2TB SSDs available for less than 80€ and prices are expected to go even lower.

I agree with Artic Mine and believe storage is not going to be a problem for Monero and that the only real bottleneck is upload speed.

What do you think?

@monerobull What if someone doesn't have 80€ ? By raising the cost of running a node you cut off the very demographic you're supposed to serve.

@silverpill @monerobull
its interesting reading the responses in this thread. There are too many root assumptions in this generation which are not rooted in an awareness of reality... only what has been for the last 10 years. Which is an absolutely ridiculous way to view the world.
Stop assuming that comsumer technology will keep growing at the rate is has the last 10 years.
It wont.
In fact, ossification is already occurring, and you dont understand the cycles of history.

@silverpill@mitra.social is correct to want efficiency which doesn't rely on the collapsing economies of continual growth.

We have like 70 years of data. People literally call the assumption of IT-stuff getting cheaper "laws".

@monerobull @monero
There are three kinds of lies.
Lies, damn lies, and statistics.
What will your ego chart mean when our time of enjoying the global reserve currency comes to an end, and China takes back taiwan? Or when the BRICS alliance becomes the dominant economic force in the world, and the dollar experiences hyperinflation as all the stored dollars in South America and Africa come rushing back Stateside?
Youre a Roman standing on Hadrians Wall thinking the Empire will last forever.
The post WW1 growth/debt economy is headed toward a cliff along with your charts.

Alright, if your expected scenario is that bleak, sure, we should try our best to keep the chain as storage efficient as possible but even if Taiwan and China stop supplying SSDs there are still quite a few manufacturers outside of those two countries and your bigger concern should be regarding CPU / other components.
