@exyle, any thoughts on why maintaining this blockchain is so expensive?

Running full nodes is very expensive because each one of them need a huge amount of RAM. The monthly cost of these servers are several hundreds dollars. That's a lot and doesn't help to keep the network decentralized.

to further that, the current way the blockchain data is being stored and accessed (using a program called chainbase) is such that it must exists on RAM memory. The goal is to put it on a solid state disk with a program called rocksdb which can offer us significant decease in the ram requirements.

4GB with 60GB SSD is like 20$ / month. That would be doable just for fun for a lot of people. @motoengineer I guess the whole blockchain would not fit on 60GB, do you know the current size?
