@mining1 your logic was already retorted upthread.

That doesn't mean you couldn't possibly be correct, but it seems plausible given the economics I explained upthread that the miners and/or pools have avoided signaling SegWit support while the whales accumulated and the miners prepared (i.e. to quietly hoard all the Scrypt ASIC supply).

I'd prefer to have better information on the details of that hypothesis. But sometimes the chart will tell you all the details summarized into the volume of the move. Money and markets are an information signaling system (imperfect that they are due to centralized manipulation).

The Litecoin volume today is 50% of the Bitcoin volume! Litecoin has never seen this level of volume before.

I hadn't realized the special advantage that Litecoin has for enabling SegWit as compared to sunk costs driven stalemate in Bitcoin. Now I (posit a hypothesis which I think I) understand the special economics which apply to Litecoin at this juncture in history.
