Seagate to launch 100TB HDD by 2030. 128MB here we come.
This is good news for the decentralized network Bitcoin Cash, at 32MB you need a 16TB HDD or SSD to have storage to save the chain for 10 years worth of full blocks, this news in terms means that you will be able to run a full node for 10 years but at 128MB for block full used up blocks that is for 10 years.

With current hardware the Bitcoin Cash network can run at a 32MB block size without compromising decentralization, as a matter of fact I wrote an article about hard drives in the pass go and check it out, and we will have a very cheap network for at least the next 10 years, and blocks are not even full.
This news means that the Bitcoin Cash community is very smart and that we have brains that are also thinking in the progress that technology has so that we don't compromise the network to centralization which it will be that not enough nodes run in the network. SSD are very costly but HDD are very cheap at this moment and with the cost of $300 or less, we can make sure we have enough nodes running because the regular user or volunteer can run a Bitcoin Cash node without much initial cost. And within the next 10 years we will have the capacity to add a capacity of at least 128MB blocks, because hardware will be much cheaper from the capacity prospective and because overall it will be better hardware than previous years.
In 10 years from now, Bitcoin Cash will be able to run at 128MB without compromising decentralization, and more important than just running a node or theory numbers is that Bitcoin Cash will be the best store of value, because transaction will continue to be cheap without compromising the network, not even a bit, meanwhile the competition insist in propaganda and misinformation.
Bitcoin Cash will be able to be used a true decentralized currency that will be able to handle many types of transactions, you will be able to create smart contracts, use DeFi applications, keep on sharing uncensorable communications using new tools that will be created because people will see how cheap and useful Bitcoin Cash is that new tools will be created, tools that we can't even imagen just yet.
The future for Bitcoin Cash is great, once your financial freedom is achieved you just have to imagen the tools of the future, and that will be back by a currency that is useful for rich and poor a true world wide decentralized peer to peer currency is on the making here at Bitcoin Cash.
