Hello Dear Readers,

    SegWit is extremely important as a tool for enhancing privacy.
    There are many features in the proposal and mitigating the old 1MB block size limitation is merely more an artifact of the implementation than a direct goal.
    Yes, larger block sizes are a feature of SegWit but that is like saying the reason to bake an apple pie is so you may enjoy how it smells.

    I encourage you to read what Charlie Lee had to say about it or to learn more about the benefits.  If financial privacy is important, than you may be interested in the commentary from CryptoCoinsNews or Bitcoin Magazine.

Best Regards,
-Chicago
