This was tweeted yesterday and I cannot believe we all have missed it. Now that he supports it, will we see the tide change and see more support from other exchanges and merchants, and more importantly other miners and mining pools?

Brian Armstrong may be able to rendeem himself from all the stupid comments and sarcastic jokes he made on Twitter.

Good news  . We need to apply segwit as fast as possible. Commissions and unconfirmed transactions are impressive

wasn't coinbase already supporting SegWit before? i swear i saw the name Coinbase listed on those who support it!

but anyways, this is good news that one more is on board but we need miners to accept SegWit otherwise it doesn't matter much who else accepts it.

That is good idead. This tool helps us contact him as much fast as possible. I had contacted to supporter about some issues when deposit and withdrawal and I had to wait for long time to be replied. this tool is very useful for us .

I am honestly surprised by this. SegWit runs counter to the goals that those who want on chain scaling because it will pave the way for LN, which will make any serious on chain scaling unlikely. 

Maybe all the ridiculous claims that coinbase was hacked and that coinbase is insolvent was hurting their business too much.

I do not think so. I was under the impression that Brian Armstrong was influenced by Roger Ver and the other big blockers. I do not neither judge or hate the big blockers. If you study the history of Bitcoin, it was Satoshi who was for big blocks and on-blockchain scaling. Then it was Hal Finney who was for smaller blocks and offchain transactions. Both ideas have their pros and cons. For us ordinary people in the community we should listen to both arguments and learn from them.

Big blocks is lame inefficient solution. Satoshi would never suggest it whereas there's far more progressive idea as SegWit

Good news just keep popping out. I thought only bad news will be the only thing I will read on bitcointalk.org thread, but this one is another good news. If good news keeps coming up bitcoin could survive the threats brought by fiat digital currency. Segwit activation will bring more profit to bitcoin and smile to miners. With this coming I guess Ill mine bitcoins again.
