That is one of the problems that blockchain technology will have to solve. The size of the chain will keep growing as the number of transactions grow and this is a quite a problem. The advancements in this area like Ethereum sharding, BTC Lightning network will try to remedy this problem, but only the future will tell.

I just synched my bitcoin core wallet and it and took a lot of space. (170 GB)
It is mostly bitcoin blockchain from 2009 to 2018. I Guess the number is allright whenyou take in consedaretion how much 1 tr hdd cost now.

I wonder how will look Bitcoin in the future. What about Segwit?
Growing of blockchain is a bit faster now.

What are your estimates that will be needed for example in 2030?
