Since the inception of bitcoin, whenever people asked, "So, how many transactions does bitcoin do per second?".
We all had to answer a number that was embarrassingly low, theoretically 7, but more like 3-4 TPS.

With segwit enabled, bitcoin is finally - ready for the world -.
As much of a cliche that may sound, we went from 7 TPS to potentially unlimited TPS, all safe and sound.
This means it's really no 'joke' anymore. That's what I mean by historic, the activating of segwit might be known as THE enabler for bitcoin.
Or like some other people call it, the netscape navigator moment for bitcoin.

On the horizon is rootstock, smart contracts linked to the bitcoin chain. What is ETH going to do?
