- Litecoin SegWit (Segregated Witness) has recently reached 80%.
- Bitcoin’s SegWit rate is only at 50%.
- BTC proponent Alistair Milne rallied against “bad actors” that have not adopted SegWit so far.
- LTC/USD is flirting around the $65 level.
Litecoin creator Charlie Lee recently took to Twitter to announce that Litecoin’s SegWit (Segmented Witnesses) has reached 80%. On the other hand, Bitcoin’s SigWit rate is only at 50%.
Litecoin has always trumped Bitcoin concerning SegWit adoption. The massive surge in fees that accompanied Bitcoin’s bull market in 2017 led BTC devs to build a soft fork that enabled the SegWit upgrade on the Bitcoin chain.
Litecoin’s SegWit usage has been increasing over the past three years. This has resulted in a significant decline in the network’s transaction fees. BTC proponent Alistair Milne tweeted his thoughts on the matter. He raised his concerns against “bad actors” such as Blockchain.com that have not adopted SegWit so far. According to Milne, the speed of SegWit penetration on BTC will soon drive nonadopters to either conform or risk their revenue margins decline.
