Support Segregated Witness ASAP!
The following is a list of companies and projects which have stated they will support segregated witness.

https://bitcoincore.org/en/segwit_adoption/

Please everyone support this and Ask the mining pool you mine at to Upgrade to segwit ASAP. the sooner we can get this Nice Pieces of code activated the better.
Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Could you point me to an ELI5 with the advantages of segregated witness vs blocksize increase? or is it the same thing?

From a layman's view, SegWit is a soft fork, while blocksize increase is a hard fork.

Is this the closest we'll get to an increase in block size for the next few months?
Back in my day Bitcoin used to cost $69

From a layman's view, SegWit is a soft fork, while blocksize increase is a hard fork.

that's the process to accomplish the change, but to use what will it change ?

I've been hearing about blocksize increase for some time and it seemed really easy and logical, then there's segwit that I don't understand, what is the diffrence in terms of usage for bitcoiners ?
