Bitcoin is working fine! No change needed!

[Caelanpelley]

Bitcoin has proven, that it is works fine, even through times of different attack modes (FUD, spam, patenting, +, XT, RV, CW etc). I don't think we have a pressure to raise the blocksize or to force the mass adaption. We don't need no SegWit to make Bitcoin great again, because it is already. Give this baby time to grow, folks.

right like. We don't need the new changes from bitcoin because the current bitcoin is works very well and pleased many investors.So I don't think they need to change new bitcoin

yeah agree instead of segwitx2 maybe its time to fix goddamn fees or maybe transaction time , dont know if clearing blocks from segwit will make transaction faster tho , i heard also it will be splitted between bitcoin core and bitcoin unlimited , the hell is different between these two things ? i still didnt understand , they just make it harder for bitcoin user

The introduction of  Schnorr signatures will make spam attacks a lot more expensive and this will reduce these spam attacks and also sort some of the problems with scaling. So this has two advantages < it takes less space and it makes spam attacks more expensive > I am saying more expensive, not impossible and these are just some of the advantages applicable to this argument.

I have a lot of transactions that took 24 to 32 days to confirm and if the Bitcoin community grows the problem of confirmation will persist and the transaction price will go up,technology is growing and changing and Bitcoin should be ready for massive adoption that is why we need a change or add .

If we do not accept new developments in bitcoin then we will still be suffering from transaction logs. If you remember last month there is a 200k plus pending transactions on the mempool, this implies that the current hashpower cannot comply to the demands on bitcoin. Thus it is necessary to increase the blocksize so we can make the transactions much more faster and with lower fees. If we do not accept new developments in bitcoin then companies will not trust bitcoin since it is unstable due to problematic network cause by blockchain overload. We need to increase the blocksize to bring back bitcoin into the mainstream and to attract big companies to adopt and join.

This is exactly my point because as individuals we can still cope with the time lags between sending and receiving likewise with the high transaction fees because we have come to understand the basic technicality surrounding such situations but for companies who wants to make profit and make life easier for their customers, I doubt if they will have such patience and the irony of it is that, the set of people that can pull the kind of response we want in the place that matters when it comes to government institutions are companies considering the volume of transactions they will be doing on a recurrent basis.

i guess if you can accept the current enormous fee then it's fine yes, but not everyone is ok with the current expensive fee, bitcoin is not suitable for micro-transaction

which is hindering adoption for casual people that want to buy small stuff, and i'm not talking only about the usual coffee, but also many steam game that are on sale and very cheap can not be bought with bitcoin

because you end up spending 2-3 times more than their cost, which is retarded

[Crypto_trader87]

I hope that the devs of bitcoin can provide a good idea for the high charges to all the bitcoin consumers today the transaction is become more expensive and slowly it takes a long time to recieve your payment i hope they can fix it if needed to broke the old bitcoin into for the sake of all its fine for me

[JimmieA]

Btc is great, i agree. But btc still needs improvement to further develop, more and more perfect and attract more users. From there it can become a popular currency worldwide. What I often hear about btc is that the transaction costs are too high. I hope this will be changed.

The problem is fees will continue to grow. A year ago we were paying 50% less, so what will happen in 2018? Another raise by 50%?
I don't know if it's working as intended, but somewhere someone has made a miscalculation. Maybe Satoshi didn't expect such growth or maybe he decided we will upgrade at some point. Anyway, thinking the market will regulate itself is naive, because the only regulation it's imposing is increasing the fees proportionally to the growing value of BTC, which makes long time holders say it's all fine, and newcomers complain and leave.

Thoughts like this are exactly what got Nokia and BlackBerry out of the market. When you think you are OK and just doing fine in your comfortable zone as a king, someone else will come up with something better and before you know it, it may be too late to recover. I think it is best we do it better so as to give better experience to be able to continue staying at the top.

This is the only thing that i think the problem with bitcoin the fee is a big problem if segwit activation can give a solution about the increase of the fee and the increase of speed of transaction we will see a big price pump of bitcoin..
Bitcoin was fine last year because we are paying small amount of fee but right now we are experience of big fee if our transaction is high size even we are just sending a small amount of bitcoin but the fee is nearly the amount you send..
This should be priority to fix not other features..

in fact there is nothing wrong in bitcoin, bitcoin is in fact a perfect currency and is providing opportunities to their users to use it for different purposes and in act that are getting good profit from it.

[cryp24x]

I believe bitcoin need to evolve and upgrade to keep up with the technological development and be able to scale with the number of people transacting with Bitcoin.  If Bitcoin development become stagnant, yes it is functioning well today but who knows if it will cope up with the competition especially in scaling and current technology the new altcoin is offerring.

Well I think that we need to accept the new system. I know that bitcoin's progress is way beyond our expectations. But the transferring of money is one of our problem. It requires a lot of time for us to process our money. We just need to agree to the new system because it is for our own good also, but what the bitcoin price is what we really are afraid about. It is possible that bitcoin will drop to $500.

Everything can be and should be subjected to improvements with the passage of time. In this global village we are living in right now it has become crucial to keep up to the industry.

Bitcoin if outdated will need new methods to be implemented. But right now bitcoin is already ahead of time. The infrastructure and he system that was built years ago was made to be adaptive. The methods and the capabilities that are already present are enough.
Change will of course be needed in future, but the infrastructure and system on which bitcoin is working right now is very good.

You're right.I'm also satisfied with what is bitcoin right now.It's price is in a good stand..and still continuosly rising up to the coming days.I believe change is coming,of course it's inevitable.But i know changes will take place for the good sake of bitcoin.There's always a big room for improvement.And that made bitcoin more irresistible.

The bulk of miners and node-holders agree with you -- no substantial changes will ever be implemented, and that goes for all forms of SegWit including SegWit2X. Instead, new technologies will implement the equivalent of SegWit on their own, with no consensus needed -- sidechains, etc.

[jakelyson]

Nothing in this world is resistant to change, that includes bitcoin. It can be effective now, but as the number of users increase, bitcoin cannot cope up with the transaction increase. A change is needed in order for it to scale.

No one is denying that Bitcoin doesn't work fine, it has definitely survived many attacks and it is still going strong. However, there are definitely many ways for it to get better and who doesn't want that. We definitely don't need SegWit, but it would be really great to have it as more and more people will then invest into Bitcoin. Transaction times and fees are the main problems people have with Bitcoin, and SegWit solves those problems for us. We have given Bitcoin along time to grow already, and now we need to step in and give it the little boost that it needs. SegWit won't make Bitcoin great again, because Bitcoin is already great, it will just make Bitcoin better than it already is. The reason for all this is so that people earn more money in the end really. If people didn't want to make money, we wouldn't need SegWit because Bitcoin is already working fine. But it is definitely needed to help make Bitcoin mainstream and that is how the price goes up, as more people invest.

Really? I used to do *zero* fee transactions a couple of years back. How come I don't see that now?
Plus there is a laundry list of things which have been ruled out due to high transaction fees.

bitcoin is still fine after a lot of attacks are true and I think perhaps the change is indeed needed not only to adjust the mass adoption but also to make bitcoin better. changes are needed to adjust the progress of the times.

I think it needs an upgrade. As the increase of users of bitcoin there's also an increase in the transaction thats why the block chain is now congested. With the upcoming upgrade of segwit2x that there will be an increase in the size of the block chain just to resolve the current issues that bitcoin is facing. Hope that correction will be successful as the bitcoin community will be fine. And yeah bitcoin is undoubtedly great and awesome but it needs some upgrade.
