Part 3/10:
Crowder elaborates on the phenomenon of blockchain bloat, pointing out that as Monero's ring signature technology enhances privacy, it simultaneously contributes to an ever-increasing blockchain size. If Monero achieves widespread acceptance, this bloat could escalate dramatically, making it increasingly difficult for individuals, especially in developing countries, to maintain full nodes due to bandwidth and storage restrictions.
As he asserts, the growing size of Monero's blockchain could eventually lead to a scenario where only financially robust individuals in developed nations would be able to participate as full node operators. This situation compromises the fundamental principle of decentralization that cryptocurrencies strive to uphold.
