Das Problem mit der Blockgrösse wird dazu führen, dass Bitcoin nodes
unrentabel werden. Da kann man dann viele Vergleiche mit Google Servern
ziehen, aber die bleiben dann wenigstens rentabel.

(Also ca. 3 TB pro Jahr, dass kann kein Enduser mehr auf die Festplatte
draufladen)

Das war auch nicht vorgesehen, dass das jeder Enduser macht.

I anticipate there will never be more than 100K nodes, probably less. It will reach an equilibrium where it's not worth it for more nodes to join in. The rest will be lightweight clients, which could be millions.

At equilibrium size, many nodes will be server farms with one or two network nodes that feed the rest of the farm over a LAN.

This one echos the same sentiment:

The current system where every user is a network node is not the intended configuration for large scale. That would be like every Usenet user runs their own NNTP server. The design supports letting users just be users. The more burden it is to run a node, the fewer nodes there will be. Those few nodes will be big server farms. The rest will be client nodes that only do transactions and don't generate.
