it has taken the blockstream paid devs 2 years to not even yet activate a one time boost to bitcoins capacity,
during this delaying period. they have ramped up bitcoins fee's and done other things to cause barrier of entry.
even when the community demand a scaled approach that naturally grows due to network demand not dev control. without fee barriers of use that are expensive to third world countries.
but in just 6 months them same devs have been doing alot more for the bankers at hyperledger
you may think they wont ruin bitcoin because they are invested in it. but that is not the case their funding is FIAT
dont underestimate the hyperledgers influence to expand while they try to halt and delay bitcoin growth/usability.
this segwit boost is a "token gesture" to kep pushing the rug from under us.
the next step is pushing us away from permissionless peer-to-peer and into permissioned hubs with fee's, penalties, settlement delays, and chargebacks
permissioned: LN= dual signed multisig ...buzzword: 'bidirectional channels' managed by hubs
fee's: open channel onchain fee, LN swap fee, multihop fee, hub management fee, close channel onchain fee
penalties: not signing in acceptable time, denying payment
settlement delays: coin maturity after confirmation onchain (CLTV)
chargeback: output revoke codes (CSV)
