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.
Its pretty logical:
Blockstream offers very limited space for miners, but unlimited for 2nd layer = Blockstream Unlimited 2ndLayer Coins
Good for Miners ? - No, only good for 2nd layer projects. Penalty for miners. Not economically balanced!
Bitcoin Unlimited offers both - just no limits = real disruption bitcoin <- I want rather that
Miners might be more happy with that open competition vs 2nd layer scaling. Better eco balanced.
