it looks like SegWit has absolutely no chance at all of getting anywhere near 95%. I doubt they will ever get over 50%.

SegWit is not Bitcoin. SegWit is an altcoin.

I agree. and I'm glad. The blockstream/core stonewalling of a blocksize increase
has been ridiculous. Wondering how long the great scaling debate can go on
before something gives.

It already 'gave'. VCs have pick up their interest and left. Entrepreneur CEOs of many companies have shut the door and quit. It is impossible to pursue so many of the interesting commercial uses of bitcoin so long as Blockstream/Core continues their stranglehold on the protocol to artificially create demand for side chains.

So many people are long gone. Yet the morons keep looking at the price to determine bitcoin is healthy. The price is set by a bunch of silly speculators in China and a strong motivation for capital flight from an oppressive government - it has nothing at all to do with the health of the network.
