Title: RR DB?

Will the bitcoin DB continue to be ever growing or will eventually become RR and old transactions be truncated and abandoned therefore keeping the DB manageable in the future?

Consider changing the topic subject for your first post, so we can figure out what you are asking about.

I'm quite sure it's UTXO set (unspent transaction output set), 3 pages vs 1 page of UXTO on this forum.
