[HBO] - How Bitcoin Can Help Track Down Criminals

Just some food for thought. If you can't get people to update regular nodes how are you going to get them to update LN nodes in a timely manner? Everyone running a node only works in fantasy world

Bitcoin Core mandatory update means segwit is no longer optional. All core nodes will now have segwit. You could still run other implementations but few do that.

Good points. Optional upgrades are never optional in this sense.

BTC is nothing at all like the bitcoin I became a part of. They are betrayed us all and are trying to ruin the name of Bitcoin

Decentralized exchanges are coming. But can they properly support Bitcoin <--> Fiat exchange? Seems to me without it they are not so important (why sell BCH for a shitcoin?), supporting it is hard

There can also, be only one, only time will tell

So how did Core end up with all the hashpower supporting its client?

A question to Core supporters: how is the blockchain supposed to be secured once the reward is low and all the transaction fees move to the LN?

There's a proposal to limit BTC block size to 300 KB. And Luke Jr thinks that Segwit txs shoudn't be cheaper than standard ones. It's a matter of time: they will completely broke BTC.
