We will be 60 years old and we will still be debating how to scale bitcoin. Franky1 and jonald will still be saying how segwit is bad, and kwukduck will still be FUDding on the price and shilling whatever alternative is being proposed (BUcoin, Classicoin, othercoin)
For now it certainly looks like we are stuck - 30% of miners don't care about any scaling solution and they are not signalling anything.
We are testing how far status quo will take us, but patience of users and business is running out.
Meanwhile BTC price will continue going up and so will the fees. BTC will continue working.
BTC might evolve to be ultimate capital investment... and nothing more.
I just hope the fee never becomes so high that people can't even move 1 BTC!!! that would be stupid.
That would be the end and ultimate fail so let's hope we will never see that happen. It defeats the purpose of cryptocurrency.
