Anyone who's also subscribed to the Bitcoin subreddit might have already seen this post, but I feel it should be shared here too.

Here's the most important quote from the post, but go and read the whole thing yourself, it's definitely worth it!

Subhan Nadeem has pointed out that:

If every transaction in the Bitcoin network was a SegWit transaction today, blocks would contain up to 8,000 transactions, and the 138,000 unconfirmed transaction backlog would disappear instantly. Transaction fees would be almost non-existent once again.

A few thousand bitcoin users from /r/Bitcoin switching to making their next transactions Segwit transactions will help take pressure off the network now, and together we can encourage exchanges/wallets to rapidly deploy Segwit for everyone ASAP. Let's make it happen.

Exchanges: Find out if your exchange has deployed Segwit already. If not, politely request that they do so within 30-days or they will lose your business. Sign-up for an account with a Segwit deployed/ready exchange now

I would suggest everyone to look into segwit addresses and use them, you'll save a lot on transaction fees, as the size of segwit transactions is a lot smaller than that of a regular transaction.
There's a list of segwit enabled wallets and exchanges in that Reddit post.

Using the segwit address will keep helping BCH creators and holders and make bitcoin lesser attractive.
