Hi, section 7 of the bitcoin whitepaper clearly says that it's useless to store old transactions after they've been buried in the chain, so you'd only store the headers of a block after a while.
Why is this section completely disregarded and we are still storing the transactions from 12 years ago? We could delete all transactions older than 5 years, to keep nodes smaller and cheaper.
