The current bitcoin blocksize is limited to 1mb. This means, on average, only 1mb worth of transactions can be written to the ledger. With that 1mb we save thousands of transactions. When you pay a transaction fee you are essentially bid

I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to use a laser to etch bits onto optical media for a measly 50gb. Maybe I'm jaded with my fiber internet, 1tb sd cards, and 20tb hdds but 50gb feels like an incredibly small amount of data.
