^tl;dr we fixed the scaling problem for another couple years = 2MB nextttt :-D

Yeah.  You keep repeating this stupid, nonsensical and lame fantasy point.

Who is the "we"?  

and what is the supposed actual fix?

beyond your merely asserting it over and over in order to get attention with misinformation?

^the lightning network/core cartel are going to realize what we have done!? Wink lol

Still aspirational gobbledygook stated as if it were facts.

I understand that there are various second layer solutions, including lightning network, that would likely be able to more easily build, once seg wit goes live - but we all should know by now that the support for segwit has not been growing.. and it seems to be somewhat flat at the moment - unless there is some kind of under ground support that is still working on getting it's shit together regarding signaling for segwit.

Concededly, we are a bit less than 3 months into the signaling for segwit period, so we have another 9 months or so before other considerations may need to be employed - if this one does not get activated in that time under currently proposed conditions.  

It does seem that activating seg wit would be very good and bullish for bitcoin, and probably much beyond a $2k scenario (even though nothing is guaranteed in bitcoinlandia)


^SegWit sounds like a good idea imo, however this is not the final solution to the blocksize issue...i think segwit & increase to 2MB will give us a few more years to dream up a long term strategy!! :-D

O.k.. it appears that we agree that seg wit is going to be beneficial to some of the scaling matters as long as it passes at some point in the near future.

Don't get me wrong.  I am not proclaiming that the future does not matter; however, there are frequently lots of suggestions that bitcoin has to be made in such a way that is future proof.. blah blah blah.. but that is really a silly ass argument.

It is likely that scaling is going to be an issue for bitcoin for a long time into its future, so yeah, the question will have to be revisited from time to time, unless for some reason seg wit solves all the scaling issues.. which does not seem to be too likely... but anyhow, sometimes, there is a need to verify how one application and stage plays out before taking any actions or planning specifics for future actions (even while at the same time preparing that there may be various scenarios that play out and various kinds of plans that can tentatively be made in order to prepare for the future).  At the same time, it does not seem prudent to plan and or prepare for specifics of a future when some of the material factors might not be currently known... so yeah, there can be a framework in place to prepare for the future, but maybe the framework may even need to be tweaked, if some future events play out a bit differently than what had been anticipated in earlier days.   

In other words, one step at a time... before getting all hot and bothered about the next step before the previous step has even played out.
