vitalik.eth(@VitalikButerin):Reminder: you can now sync an ethereum node within half a day and with aggressive settings the space it takes up on disk can be under half a terabyte. EIP-4444 and hard work by client teams on optimizing snap sync has improved things *a lot*. Glamsterdam will improve the sync situation further still (eg. Nimbus's new sync protocol uses it)
