Bitcoin Transaction malleability problem discovered in 2011 and there are various solutions proposed in 2013 - 2015, but it took 2 years just to activate SegWit due to block size controvesial.
SegWit should also remembered as how difficult consensus could be, when various different ideology and politics are involved.

On a side note, i agree that UASF is overrated & could be dangerous, but it's very useful to let non-miners share their voice & definitely play role on consensus.

P.S. It's still first page and now we're talking talking about UASF and LN rather than SegWit

too much attention is being put on things leading to moving people offchain rather than things that can optimise BITCOIN

I somehow agree, even though there are few on-chain scaling/optimization besides block size/weight increase

p.s segwit lovers are only segwit lovers for hopes of thm being LN watchtower/factory operators to earn some income. what they dont realise is they will only earn enough to eat chicken nuggets for christmas, yet they still dont care about the wider communities utility needs of bitcoin

Only people who never run LN hub/node or/and never done research who still believe run LN hub/node will make them rich.
