id like to remind everyone that
SegWit is great for Bitcoin. It brings more transaction throughput, fixes malleability, defrags the UTXO set, makes hardware wallets more secure and most importantly, it enables Lightning which will bring instant low cost Bitcoin transactions to the world. The team at BTCC have been working hard at making their exchange and mining pool services SegWit ready, and everyone else should do the same.
You are correct but people are forgetting one major thing; Bitcoin cannot go mainstream with just bigger blocks. You need something like 1gig blocks to make a shot for it, the internet cant even handle that. Hardforking from 1mb all the way up to 1gig is just a no-go zone, Lightning will fulfill that job because you really want to have high capacity when ''monkey see monkey do'' situation arrives.
Bitcoin is booming all over the globe, what will happen with the memepool with to low mb blocks if millions if not a few billion off people want to use the network? We will be seeing millions of unconfirmed txs that will lead to a more panic situation than now.
If someone doesn't like Lightning well youre are not forced to use it, you can always use the normal payment option like today...Also lots of
private keys coins will be lost when millions of sheeps start to use Bitcoin. The more payment options ore layers there is the better. Look at Roostock they use another layer for there Smart Contracts using Bitcoin for security just like Kim.com with his BitCache!
Segwit followed with the Lightning network is the best possible update Bitcoin can have. Those unlimited guys are very short sighted they screaming for bigger blocks no matter what the consequences are

I want to see Bitcoin beeing used by many as possible, not because for the $$ (making $$ is sweet but it's not my 1st priority ) but to
free youre self from the Zionist Jew Fiat Debt Slave Pyramide Ponzi Banking System.
