It really surprises me how many people and services are still not using Segwit though.
Now, these last couple of months, the percentage of Segwit transactions has steadily risen to just under 50%, but that can still be much better.

I kinda feel the opposite, nearly 50% in one year is pretty good. Plus, for now people don't feel pressured enough because the fees are so low, but if we'll have congestions again, adoption will speed up.


Let's just ...not!

Bitmain could just unplug their miners for a few hours and the whole capacity gained by segwit will be destroyed by higher blocks time. I just hope that they still have two brain cells active and don't try to put such plan into action.


I hope Bitcoin's game-theoretic fundamentals work as intended and spamming is unprofitable and very costly. I assume that the attack has stopped because they realized that it failed to achieve their goals - make people switch to Bcash out of frustration caused by high fees.
