The blockchain is 693 GB right now but you can run a pruned node if space is a limited. A pruned node still downloads and verifies all blocks but deletes them past one that increase beyond a certain threshold that you can set base on your needs. All newer computers have more than enough space to run a pruned node.
How small can a pruned node be?

Oh wow. that isn't big at all. Good to know. If I have issues with my pi, I might try that out.

It seems really important. I am excited to get up and running. It's funny. I have been mining regularly for a few years now. Even though, I am quite uneducated on Bitcoin in general.
