..SegWit is to prepare the network for Blockstream proprietary off-chain scaling solution that will allow them to 'shift' network fees away from miners and into their own hands.
It is nothing less than a Coup d'état*
.. hmmm..
no - I'm afraid it's not.
ANYONE can use SEGWIT / LIGHTNING NETWORK / SIDECHAINS / OFF-CHAIN scaling solution. A.N.Y.O.N.E.
It is OPEN SOURCE.
It is NOT PROPRIETARY.
I'll admit - It is quite complicated (to set up an LN network / Sidechain), and requires SKILL / KNOWLEDGE, and yes, if you wanted someone to set it up for you, Blocksteam would be my first choice. Is that a crime now ?
so please.. '..It's a little early in the morning for Kung Fu..'

@OP - Can you come up with a FIX for txn malleability (the root of MANY issues) ? If you can, I'm all ears.
perfect!
i'm not a technician but from everything i've seen it's the best solution for the problems we have right now(i've upgraded already).
a few users always try to go against it, but generally it's just like this thread:
"i'm not upgrading! reasons? because i dont want to".
sometimes starts a whole conspiracy theory, but i never seen any fact.
