Waiting for franky1 and jonald and the usual suspects to argue how 2+2 isn't 4, conspiracy blockstream theories etc.

Activate segwit or STFU.

The usual ex bitcoinXT and for now Unlimited supporters are losing credibility slowly but steadily. If you remember Roger Ver's ex forum mod and manic supporter of his, he came out and spoke against Very and his overall shill campaign for everything against Core.

Interesting read and quite telling about what's keeping Segwit back. It's the word of the miners that matters either way but it's remarkable how many people fall for propaganda while evidence is laid down right in front of their eyes.

segwit gives 2mb.. in THEORY

its the same pitch as 2009-2017 "bitcoin offers upto 7tx/s".. in THEORY

in 8 years how many blocks actually achieved 7tx/s!!

segwit in the REAL WORLD relies upon people needing to move funds to new keypairs. (not the activation itself, but moving to certain keypairs types after activation)
much like
is same pitch as 2009-2017 "bitcoin offers upto 7tx/s" only if certain transactions are made

expectation and sales pitch wont meet reality.
segwit does not guarantee 2mb because its reliant on people using certain new keypair types.

also todays average 3.5tx/s would (if 100% sw keypair type ever got acheived) is still only the 7tx's
but as we all know not everyone will use segwit keys so it wont get 100% guarantee of 7tx's ..
meaning segwits expectation is a half baked gesture not a promise.
its a hope not a reality
