Bitcoin Cash has 8MB blocks today, 8x larger than Core.
Core propaganda will decry this as lunacy since people won't be able to run nodes on raspberry pi's anymore. The sad reality is you can buy the hardware required for the cost of a single BTC transaction.
BCH nodes/miners can increase to 32MB without a hard fork, it's just as a config setting.
GB blocks are possible today with today's hardware, though those won't be necessary for quite some time.
TB blocks are almost possible today, though a little further out in practice.
The vision (and current reality of BCH) is that every transaction should make it in to the next block for less than a penny.
Low/non-existent fees is the only way a meaningful global exchange system will emerge. Better to have everybody on the globe doing 5 transactions a day for dust than to have a few hodlers transact twice a year.
