SegWit puts it on a track to become a sort of 'settlement layer'
Can we please stop this endless stream of bullshit? Segwit didn't turn Litecoin into a settlement layer and it won't turn Bitcoin into one either.
Instead of cut and pasting nonsense, why not spend a few hours to learn how it works instead? The word "segregated" comes from the change of an underlying data structure, which is done to the data that make sense to include in the transaction hash is actually included in it. It does absolutely nothing to turn Bitcoin into a settlement layer, nor does it make the signatures disappear, nor does it do any of the other crazy stuff people show up out of nowhere to suggest.
But that name alone seems to act as a magnet for people with more opinions than clues. Next time, let somebody else pick a name, ok..?
