Unfortunately, I'm not so influential as to single-handedly promote SegWit. Without SegWit and with the increase in the number of transactions on the network, the expectation of confirmations will be more and more, the fee for transactions will also grow and eventually the BTC will lose to more progressive coins with a smaller fee and faster confirmations.
This is what is known as a false dichotomy. There are other ways to increase the amount of transactions processed that don't include segwit.
