I believe BTC chain will grow by 50% due to 1august upgrade
I think that's why the vitalik already planned to migrating the ethereum with the casper pos. But the bitcoin blockchain and ethereum blockchain gets bigger more and more everytime. it doesn't look good in my opinion.
People are talking like 200 GB is a lot, your standard SSD is now 1000 GB
Just use Parity as your desktop client, it only downloads what's required to do your tx... and only idiots use 3rd party wallets.
This might come as a shock to people, but Vitalik has been working on scaling for 2 years:
(1) Casper POS
(2) sharding to control blocksize increases
(3) unlike Bitcoin, almost zero politics in Ethereum so shit gets done
This place is like the Ethereum Fake News Channel... CNN for Ethereum.
