Statement just released today by bitcoin mining group that a cons=census has been reached by the community to activate Segwit on the network. Segwit activation is expected to be fully activated within 6 months.

The statement by the bitcoin group which holds 80% mining rights reads:

“We agree to immediately support the following parallel upgrades to the bitcoin protocol, which will be deployed simultaneously and based on the original Segwit2Mb proposal:

Activate Segregated Witness at an 80% threshold, signaling at bit 4
Activate a 2 MB hard fork within six months
We are also committed to the research and development of technical mechanisms to improve signaling in the bitcoin community, as well as to put in place communication tools, in order to more closely coordinate with ecosystem participants in the design, integration, and deployment of safe solutions that increase bitcoin capacity.”

Could be the news that takes bitcoin to the $10 000?
