Hi guys,

all the transaction are safed in the Blockchain, how is it made that the blockchain won't be "to big" one day?

Probably what would happen is less nodes would store the full transaction history. Then most client nodes would just run a portion of the historical data. This is how Ethereum Geth does it, the full chain is 300-400GB but its less then 10GB for most clients since it doesn't have full transaction history

Not really possible, it will have to grow in size otherwise the blockchain would finish. They can do things to optimize the size, like not giving the full history to all users
