As seen on Twitter.
https://twitter.com/brian_armstrong/status/817258015619321857This was tweeted yesterday and I cannot believe we all have missed it. Now that he supports it, will we see the tide change and see more support from other exchanges and merchants, and more importantly other miners and mining pools?
Brian Armstrong may be able to rendeem himself from all the stupid comments and sarcastic jokes he made on Twitter.
wasn't coinbase already supporting SegWit before? i swear i saw the name Coinbase listed on those who support it!
but anyways, this is good news that one more is on board but we need miners to accept SegWit otherwise it doesn't matter much who else accepts it.
I do not think so. I was under the impression that Brian Armstrong was influenced by Roger Ver and the other big blockers. I do not neither judge or hate the big blockers. If you study the history of Bitcoin, it was Satoshi who was for big blocks and on-blockchain scaling. Then it was Hal Finney who was for smaller blocks and offchain transactions. Both ideas have their pros and cons. For us ordinary people in the community we should listen to both arguments and learn from them.
