howsit... im a bit of a layman here. Great intro by the way.

So i downloaded the mist wallet..took forever for the blockchain nodes to fully sync.

I just wanted to ask a question?…. I see that a new version of the mist wallet gets released every now and again. Im assuming that the number of ether mined/ in circulation plus transactions will also rapidly increase(overall blockchain will grow). So why would I want to use a wallet that I need to sync continously (taking hours sometimes) — i understand the security requirement but it seems counter productive timewise to be always downloading a new wallet and syncing all the time…

Hope that question even made sense…
