SegWit was promised to arrive in april 2016, it's now September.
And I have lost one tooth
And I walk a little lame
And I ain't got time
For the waiting game

And the days dwindle down to a precious few
September ... November!
And these few precious days I'll spend with you. These precious days I'll spend with you Cry

Good piece of poetry you got there. Do you have any other poems? and hey! don't worry everything will be fine as time goes, there is nothing that time can't heal.



It's not that I'm impatient, but I don't want potential or current users leaving bitcoin because of these problems.

The blocksize issue is a real problem, and you can't just wait for SegWit/LN to get their shit together while the blocksize is becoming problematic.

The blocksize was never supposed to stay at 1MB for as long as it did. The false promise of SegWit made people think we didn't need to upgrade the blocksize from 1MB, so now here we are, with 80% of the blocks being full, no blocksize increase in sight, no SegWit and no LN, and mainwhile bitcoin is rapidly losing marketshare.  

It won't take long for bitcoin to no longer be the #1 crypto in marketshare. Do you want bitcoin to become the myspace of crypto? Because this is how you get bitcoin to become the myspace of crypto.
