Second, did you even notice that all of a sudden, as soon as segwit2x was signaling intention, the mempool back log went to nearly zero and accordingly, the transaction fees and the and the delays went down to normal levels too. Get in touch with reality and stop citing misinformation and fantasy to support your stupid ass theories about bitcoin supposedly being broken. Roger cites this same kind of pie in the sky nonsense that is out of touch with reality; however, the fact that a whole bunch of you big blocker nutjobs are citing the same wrong facts does not make them any more true... and don't come out saying that there are various versions of truth because there are not.

About this. IMO this might have happened coz many people stopped using bitcoin and mempool was not so stocked, fees reduced accordingly.

You are living in a dreamland, and stating facts that are counter to real logic and dynamics.

There have been all kinds of usage in the past few weeks, and the mempool remains without much of any backup and with very low fees. The spamming stopped a few weeks ago.. not a coincidence, but big blocker nutjob miners stopped aiming their mining power at attacking the network... at least temporarily.

So basically you're saying that all these delays were due to "testing" of the system.

I did not say "testing". I said spamming. It is a form of attempted sabotage to create an impression that the blocks are full when they are not.

Can u explain me - has 1Mb block enoughcapacity for at least 1/8 of population of Earth to use Bitcoin without interruptions? Given that no one is testing Bitcoin network?

How the fuck do I know? We take one step at a time, and segwit seems to be the next step and is bullish as fuck.

Cause if it is, then Core was coerced to implement Segwit2x? Was it blackmailing?

Core has not been coerced to do shit. Big blocker nutjobs have been engaged in various kinds of sabotage in order to employ coercive tools, hostage taking and terrorism.

segwit appears to have gone through because of various combination of compromise procedures. The 2x portion does not have any kind of locking in method, and that is why the big blocker nutjobs remain incensed.. because segwit is coming to bitcoin and there is likely going to be less and less and less justification to employ any kind of 2x software in the near future, at least in the next couple of years, and maybe longer.

But the big blocker nutjobs will continue to whine, even though they are going to have their own useless and likely buggy-ass fork.

Peter Rizun says that definition of Segwit is contradicting the very foundation of Bitcoin, that was laid out by Satoshi himself. What's your opinion on this matter?

Peter Rizun is another one of those bigblocker nutjobs who have been living in a fantasy land in the past couple of years, engaging in a large variety of arguments to get more say in bitcoin and to get the blocks increased.. but in the end, he doesn't have enough convincing power to get core to go along with some of his ideas, because his ideas are deficient in a variety of ways.. and when you get down to attempting to rely on authority, such as what Satoshi, supposedly wanted, then you are employing status rather than actual meritorious arguments and real technical importance. Those are a bunch of continued attempts at technical diversion from guys who are unwilling and unable to work within the existing core system to get their arguments adopted, so they resort to bullying and terrorism tactics.

Senpai, tell me how the chart will look like in august. Although I believe strongly in BTC, I also believe there are better alternatives out there and/or to come in the future. Bitcoin isn't the one coin to rule them all, it's just the first building stone in something far bigger.
