We need more throughput. Segwit is not nearly enough. I hope we can agree that far at least?
Ibian, there was never a time when Bitcoin users or even the Core developers, denied that more throughput or lower fees were needed.
BUT... it is completely disingenuous to bring up "more throughput needed" EVERY TIME that the network gets spammed by bad actors and create a massive backlog, but never bring it up when the network is operating normally and the mempool is nearly empty (which is like 95% of the entire year!).
Can we at least agree on that?
I bring it up every time we have this discussion. Fees should be low enough to be meaningless for the average paycheck-to-paycheck worker bee. It isn't and hasn't been for a while.
