Re: Segwit on Bitcoin has Failed , BTC Core has Lost , The Miners have Won
Segwit needs 95% to activate.
Current Numbers

Explicit Mining Pool Support by Proposal
SegWit 24.6%
Bitcoin Unlimited 18.3%
8 MB Blocks 7.5%
If the current Voters for Bitcoin Unlimited and 8 MB Blocks do not change their votes, (either alone is enough to block segwit)
Segwit will NEVER ATTAIN the 95% needed.
Segwit is DEAD!
Suggest BTC core start working on a blocksize increase solution ASAP, because no matter what else happens Segwit is Dead on Arrival.

In my opinion this is a great news,being segwit out of the way btc core has no choice but to adopt 8 mb blocks as an alternative solution. If segwit is out of the picture and bitcoin unlimited is not a good choice then the last choice for bitcoin core was to bid on 8mb blocksize. Finally the end of slow transactions will come to be realized but let us observe what will be the next move of btc core as it will affect the future mining situation.
