Hello guys, I really don't understand all the "excitement" about that SegWit thing. It already activated couple of days ago and still nothing - too many unconfirmed transactions, fees are very high, block sizes are still under 1 MB, and slow confirmations. Where is the promised lightning network? When (if at all) the current situation will change?
Many people think segwit can change this situation, but I think it can not, because in fact, it just makes a different currency. Another bitcoin is similar and certainly can not solve the current problem of bitcoin.
