Is there any possible way that BTC can achieve the transaction speeds needed to become the primary currency of a major country at least?
I am not an expert at all but from what I am gathering here SegWit is only a temporary solution and more block size expansion would be needed in the future

This is a problem that must be quickly solved, the network has been chaos for days. Medium priority transactions take 5-6 hours to confirm. At least it's an easy thing to solve, the tricky thing is getting acceptance for solution. Decentralization is like this. Blockchain cant be decentralized. First of all transaction Fees should not be altered as medium or low priority can slow down the entire block. A few times high priority transaction takes even 30 mins to confirm. This issue is still unaddressed in bitcoin and need to solve in order to make bitcoins more effective.

if you don't pay the correct fee there is nothing can speed up the transaction for you, just take a look at the ongoing unconfirmed transaction, the majority are lower than the average which is 25k satoshi now people should really take a look at this when they send their coins, https://bitcoinfees.21.co/

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip. Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

Far as I know I just scan a code and send some BTC and I figure the fee is standardized

Well, maybe it is unconfirmation very much. it may also be caused by deficiencies transaction system performance, which is rather difficult to keep pace with the number of transactions that occur per minute.

Blocks are never and will never be slowed down because of any transactions. A transaction that pays a high fee/size will have a higher chance of getting included in the next block as compared to another transaction who paid lesser fee/size.

It's a point I've raised many times before, but it seems to fall on deaf ears. People start talking about how it'll supposedly be better when the microtransactions are gone and it'll be just "legitimate" transactions (as if legitimate is something consensus has arbitrarily defined) remaining. But it doesn't change the fact that finite space is finite and full means full. In reality, in this economy, microtransactions should be seen as a "buffer" or "padding", so once they're gone, it means everyone queues when they get caught out by the guess-the-fee lottery. There's a sweet spot we ideally need to hit, where there aren't too many microtransactions and enough so that larger transactions aren't delayed. But some just aren't interested because they believe not having a buffer is somehow healthier. Plus no one really knows how to maintain said sweet spot, since network traffic is almost impossible to predict. Adaptive blocksizes are problematic to implement and it doesn't feel like progress is being made in that area.

Sh*t! It's happening again! We really need to increase that damned block size! I've been waiting for more than 6 hours for a transaction to be confirmed, and I'm shocked to see there are more than 50,000 in the queue. https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactionsWe need SegWit, or an urgent block size increase. For the sake of BTC, something needs to be done, fast! Yes, with current block size, only 7 transactions per second can be made.There is a big difference of opinion within the bitcoin community about increasing block size.Its not good for businesses who nhave adapted bitcoin.There are still thousands of dollar investments waiting to be invested in bitcoin related business.So, it has to be solved.

It is one of the most complicated arguments in the Bitcoin market right now. For the moment there is no long-term solution for this situation. Increasing the transaction fees will just make a short term solution as that will have some negative impact of the market.

The transaction delay we are facing is not a new problem and the issue is looming for some time now and you can add an extra fee to jump up the transaction queue and it will create issues at a later stage without any doubt as the transaction fees keep on increasing with time and is not a good news for normal bitcoin users and the core team has to come up with a solution for this issue.

Plus no one really knows how to maintain said sweet spot, since network traffic is almost impossible to predict. Adaptive blocksizes are problematic to implement and it doesn't feel like progress is being made in that area. OK, I just want to say something about this if you let me, about "legitimate" transactions, in the world in which we move some things are based on precisely the fact that need be defined but not always from the beginning, there are certain criteria that need to be fulfilled to make use of some thing or service, an example could will be more clear, in most of the countries vehicles are used where the steering wheel goes of the left side taking as reference to the driver and in others the right side, beyond which at some point there was no consensus to make all the steering wheels of the car on the same side, each one chose to make his own method, and that is what is actually being seen, solutions to scalability are already given by those who have focused on carrying them out, everyone can easily realize this, only need to check the number of nodes daily for a period of time and see which client are running the most of nodes, and the rest will depend on the performance of each network, although it was not related to scalability, ETH did this, if at any point it fails, we must not forget that it was mentioned at the beginning as an experiment.

If this continue for a long time yet many persons won't want to start using bitcoins. Some good investors can stop using it too because this problem. Consequently bitcoin can lose price, popularity and reach to ostracism as crypto-currency. An altcoin can come with a better system for this issue with transactions and become the new main crypto currency. Bitcoin needs to solve it fast or it won't be what it's now anymore.

Thats sadly right... i mean, its easy solution but with decentralization and many groups of interest solution could be impossible :/. I hope there will be solution to this, coz 5 hours confirmation time is joke compared to 10 minutes from satoshi whitepaper.

It has been suggested to do something about it, like Segwit or Classic (can't remember what classic does), so something like that would aim at fixing these issues. If I'm correct a lot of the issues we have with fees simply comes down to people constantly sending bigger and bigger fees, if we could get people to stop doing that a lot of our issues would be fixed, minus the quantity of transactions and those issues.

Simply answer we are just need the blocksize increase with large scale to processing the transaction it will reduce the spam attack's effect to the bitcoin transaction priority. But soon we won't use Segwit and BC won't, either

whenever you are talking about a transaction that wasn't confirmed you should either include the transaction ID or tell us its "fee per byte" for all we know you either sent it with zero fee or a fee that is big but still too small for your byte size. and Kwukduck is just saying what he says to create panic among newbies and force them to panic sell their coins to him.

Not a fee issue, it is a no block found issue. The Miners did not find a block for over an 1 hour 18 minutes , and they are still not finding blocks fast enough to catch up with the backlog of unconfirmed transactions. Now at 16355 Unconfirmed Transactions. https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions450661 1 hour 18 minutes 1708 19,052.31 BTC ViaBTC 742.18 This is directly related to a FLAW in BTC design, the fact it only does a difficulty adjustment very 2 weeks. Most Alts switched to a difficulty adjustment after every block to avoid this problem.
