Developers,
On THIS note and slightly off-topic but relevant, why can't chunks of
blockchain peel off the backend periodically and be archived, say on
minimum of 150 computers across 7 continents?
It seems crazy to continue adding on to an increasingly long chain to
infinity if the old chapters (i.e. more than, say, 2 years old) could be
stored in an evenly distributed manner across the planet. The same 150
computers would not need to store every chapter either, just the index
would need to be widely distributed in order to reconnect with a chapter
if needed.
Then maybe it is no longer a limitation in the future for people like Yubin.

You can try pruning, you will still have to validate the whole chain so it
takes time, but you won't need to store all the blockchain on your disk.

I just don't have so much space for a storing the whole blockchain on my
