Perhaps you are for= tunate to have a home computer that has more than a single 512GB SSD. Lots = of consumer hardware has that little storage. Throw on top of it standard c= onsumer usage, and you're often left with less than 200 GB of free spac= e. Bitcoin consumes more than half of that, which feels very expensive, esp= ecially if it motivates you to buy another drive.

I have talked to several people who cite this as the primary= reason that they are reluctant to join the full node club.
