Will Bitcoin Nodes Become Too Expensive to Run? 🧐

As Bitcoin's blockchain grows @36% annually, one question looms: Will it become too costly for everyday people to run a node?

A simple analysis reveals an encouraging trend: While the blockchain size could balloon to multiple TBs by 2030, storage costs are racing downward.

📉 HDDs: $35/TB → $5/TB by 2030

📉 SSDs: $100/TB → $6/TB by 2030



This means that despite rapid data growth, the cost per GB to store Bitcoin’s ledger is on a clear downward trajectory.


💡 Decentralization remains economically viable, even as the blockchain scales.

Tech innovation keeps us ahead of the curve. Nodes only becoming more accessible.
