I wouldn't worry about the blockchain size. When it gets too big to be truly distributed then we'll just have a few nodes instead managed by bigger firms. If it gets bigger still then each country will have a single node to manage the transactions. When it's centralised like that and in a single place it's easier to manage. When it gets bigger still Google will probably just look after the whole thing, and you'll just need to hope that anything you want to buy on-line aligns with their left-wing liberal politics or else the transaction will be denied due to unacceptable user policies.

Yep, it's the future.
