Regardless, we REALLY need a solution for Bitcoin whether it be the lightning network, segwit or blockstream. Unlike a lot of people here I send/receive BTC everyday and it's a pain in my ass (on some days). Now imagine the derivatives market melting down or some other black swan event in the financial markets... people flocking to BTC for safety would bottleneck the system within hours.

Lastly, these are just potential future outcomes that I THINK could occur which was why I was wanting people's opinions.
