Imagine saying "the blockchain might require gigabytes after a decade" in 2004. Here in 2014, you can get 64 GB on something the size of your smallest fingernail for $30-$40. Terabytes after a decade won't matter a bit.
I did have 10MBps and a while before that 100MBps just because of the campus network. Today in a residential area I have 22MBps down, 16 up (measured). However, that result might actually be capped by my wifi. I should have 60-100 MBps.
That said, I was thinking of it all, memory bus, disk r/w speed etc.
My understanding was that Dogecoin doesn't want to become a "serious" currency and the sentiment in the community against the BTC-community is that they take themselves far too serious.
This decision makes sense if Doge intends to stay the "great comment, I give you 10000 doge for that" fun-currency and drive out everybody whose primary intention is financial gain.
That is several new coins for every active person on the internet, every year.

ps. if you do show up, please clarify if it is going to be a zero to 10k reward which is a different situation, or actually 10k fixed per block
