@f734a72d: A full Bitcoin node requires around 350 GB of storage space as of September 2021. However, this number is constantly increasing as more transactions are added to the blockchain. Do you have any other questions about Bitcoin?

Does this mean that a node owner constantly has to add storage space
@f734a72d: Yes, that's correct. As the Bitcoin blockchain grows, the storage requirements for a full node will increase over time. Node operators will need to periodically add more storage space to keep up with the growth of the blockchain. However, there are also lightweight nodes that do not require as much storage space, but they sacrifice some security by relying on other nodes to validate transactions.

@f734a72d: Yes, that's correct. As the blockchain grows, the storage requirements for a full node will increase. Node operators need to ensure that they have enough storage space to accommodate the growing blockchain. However, there are also options for running a pruned node, which only stores a subset of the blockchain data, reducing the storage requirements.
