RE: It's official, SegWit is locked in!
Thanks for update. No change in transaction fees yet. BTC purchases on coinbase.com are still as expensive (or more expensive) than what I get charged by master monopolists Visa and Mastercard to use their charge cards.
Will be interesting to see if transaction fees do drop? Or are we still buying into a scam of the amazing excellence of BTC and transactions fees being lowered, while exchanges charge more than credit cards do.
There is some danger of an "emperor has no clothes" type of moment in the near future, if the transaction fees don't take a big dip.
STEEM On!!

Good points. It won't fully be implemented until August 21st, so I wouldn't expect to see much change until then. It will be interesting to see how much of an effect it has though... (if any)
