Segwit does not seem like it is going to be able to get over 25%. They have been stuck at 25% for months. The Bitcoin devs need to be thinking about increasing the block size. Instead they are offering a solution that would line there pockets as they are the ones that part own the company that made the lighting network. They need to increase the block size and not one person can say why we should not. The blocks are full, they need to get bigger. These guys are selling a solution to a problem they are causing by inaction. They can implement what ever they want but they still need to fix Bitcoin's block size. https://blockchain.info/charts/avg-block-size?timespan=all
How are the Lightning developers (like Blockstream) going to profit from Lightning?
