Bitcoin doesn't hold the promise it once did, explosive growth and adoption, now the only explosion in adoption is the number of segwit users. People are using the lightning network before it's ready, potentially damaging the bitcoin ecosystem.
So I ask you, what can we do to improve bitcoin adoption, reduce fees and protect bitcoin for being crushed by regulations?
very good question to be asked, well done. That is something each of us should be asking ourselves. If we're not engineers, we still can help the community in different ways, based on our expertise.
