From what I see SegWit is gaining more and more %.

95% in next 7 month is just impossible.

95% in any amount of time is impossible. They will never get past the amount of hash power that is for bigger blocks. BU will pick up hashing power once it is firmly over 40% that will send it over 50%. Then things will probably go quickly as the rest of miners will be pressured to also accept big blocks.

But, I wonder, who'll bell the cat? I mean, what I understand, BU may gain 75% hash power and still operate as 1mb, until a pool owner raises the limit to 2mb or 8mb... whatever. Others are at their will to follow or not. I wonder, which pool will take the risk of losing 12.5 BTC by raising the block size?
