user92576: Does Bitcoin handle the case where all nodes are pruned?
How a new node would get the full Blockchain?

user52021: If all nodes were pruned a new node would keep making connections looking for an unpruned peer forever and fail to sync.  If instead almost all were pruned it would simply take a longer time than today to get connected to them and start syncing.
