Hello guys, I really don't understand all the "excitement" about that SegWit thing. It already activated couple of days ago and still nothing - too many unconfirmed transactions, fees are very high, block sizes are still under 1 MB, and slow confirmations. Where is the promised lightning network? When (if at all) the current situation will change?
I think segwit was activated to boost the transaction speed, and also increase the block size of bitcoin
transactions, though transactions involving bitcoin cash are now being confirmed in no time, bitcoin transactions are starting to suffer a lot.
