RE: The Ethereum Blockchain has bloated by 700% last year - about 180GB now! Murphy's law?
First their price gets bloacted, and now their blockchain too? So much for efficiency. I see disaster waiting to happen.
I don't have a definite answer for that, I'm not sure if anyone does. I'm certain it's not just fudding - this is real - the problem is real!
I wouldn't surprised. Just as a point of comparison, I recently installed the DOGEcoin core wallet and downloaded the full blockchain. It's only 20GB for 3.5 years of transactions. That's nothing compared to that wopping 180GB in just one year.
And with all these ICOs it's only getting worse day by day. Maybe we shouldn't underestimate innovation. Ultimately The necessity is the mother of invention, if not this is going to be a big crash and all cryptos will be hit unfortunately, because of the sheer size of Ethereum market.
