Segwit also increases the amount of information (and size) of the data in the blockchain. This is why many people are against the use of segwit.

The problem of a larger amount of information sent in each transaction means that the blockchain grows larger at a faster rate. This may not be a problem now, but in 10 years, if somebody wants to have an offline wallet they will need to download the entire blockchain which will be huge.

This thread turned out to be pretty informational. I didn't know there was a separate segwit address. I thought after btc voted to adopt segwit, all addresses became segwit addresses.

BUT now I'm curious. Why does segwit take up more space?
