The estimated disk space the chain will save in a post 110 world is around 21 gigs annually. There is a practical limit of what size blocks we see and it’s well under the 4mb theoretical maximum.
The utxo set getting spammed by p2sh wrap transactions is the unstoppable alternative to the current methods of embedding data onchain. If we see even half the spam using this method in a post 110 world it will massively increase the ram requirements needed to keep a node in sync.
Worse with blocks being empty thanks to the removal of ordinals many more of these spam utxos can fit per block. A dedicated nation stat could decide they want all nodes in data centers. A couple 100 million dollars later and we could see the Minimal ram breach 16gigs. This would be the end of decentralization if it happens before consumer grade hardware catches up to this standard.
