It seems to me that BU will take over Segwit. I dont know if it's good or bad.
But the inability of the devs to figure out a solution faster is leading to this. Plus, we are tired of huge fees.
So whatever can fix the fee problem, I will stand besides it.
If we dont fix the fee problem, we wont have any bitcoin to debate about, so better choose now, and risk bitcoin, than to lose bitcoin altogether over some other coin.
It's a good thing.
Core and Blockstream don't think there is a fee problem. They want to kick regular people off the network by maintaining 1mb blocks, a limitation originally intended as an anti-spam measure.
Bitcoin unlimited isn't against 2nd layer solutions (look up flextrans) but not to the determent of normal people using the Bitcoin Block Chain.
