Do you really think we will be storing the whole chain for eternity? Isn't it quite optimistic that nodes will store the full chain? If we imagine a future with 1GB or 1 TB blocks.

I feel certain there will at least be archival services that allow perusal all the way to genesis block.

I think you are right. Though we can potentially risk that it gets lost.

By the time we get to TB blocks, i sure hope we have PB hard drives, and you don't have to download the whole block either way

I think in the future different data will be split out on different nodes.

We will definitely have some techniques in the future to skip full sync and still have the same security. If we don't store all blocks then it's not for eternity.

Only miners needs full nodes anyways, TB blocks would have have block rewards of 10 000 BCH at 1 sat/byte, 4 billion transactions per block, unlikely in the next decades.
