If we are not facing any issues and everything is fine and dandy, then there's no reasom not to be bothered. But with the problems on delayed transactions and escalating fees, one can't help but hope that something better is in the horizon. Or maybe there are groups that keep bitcoin from its natural progression that is why we keep encountering numerous glitches. Just wondering around here.

If you ask me, there is nothing that is complete in itself without development or else with time, it will just fade away this has happened to several companies and they have faded away out of existence with the several competitors coming out with new technological advancement, bitcoin might not hold the forte for long if something is not done about the transaction time and the issue of transaction fee which has in no small way affected a lot of transactions that should have been carried out. Aside those two, every other thing is working fine.

Im already immune to those FUDs which i do treat it normally already on bitcoin ecosystem which do people would really try out to make fuds just to dump the price for them to buy a cheaper coin since they know that later on bitcoin would increase its price and can able to make profit. Scaling issue might really be hassle for some but for me its just fine actually.

We really do need the new system, besides the large amount of time required for confirmation of TXs, there is also the high amounts of fees it has become completely pointless to transfer small amount of BTC It is completely unreasonable to pay $2 fees for a $10(or less)  transaction.

Yes bitcoin still wants to improve in many things, like this confirmation time decrease and transaction fee. What we are paying it is the high amount for small bitcoins transaction. People are hoping that issues will solve on this August first. Let's wait for one more month maybe we see a lot of changes in bitcoin. At present only the price is good, and I don't want to change this price that means it can increase but not decrease.

Enjoy $20 fees and waiting for hours to get a confirmation then.
The sole reason Bitcoin has 42% market share is because it sucks so bad that it's unusable.

Let's give it some more time to be dethroned by Ethereum.

All complain about the high price per transaction and too long propagation time of payment. It does not develop bitcoin further. If you take no action then all the advantages of bitcoin can be negated by disadvantages. This is not the last update, and I refer to this as evolution.

The current decrease in fee could be attributed to two things.

1. Spam attack stopped.

2. If you look at the stats bitcoin transactions volume has decreased in the last few days, most probably users have started storing their funds offline because of August uncertainty.

Yeah, today bitcoin transactions are getting confirmed with a low fee, but there is always a possibility that spammers would get back to their job sooner or later to manipulate fee or just to push their propaganda and then the same high fee drama would start again.

Second thing, the whole Segwit, BIP 148, and Segwit2x has already created a lot of uncertainty in the community and everyone is getting prepared for it so stalling it further would make the situation worse.

I came to read about Schnorr signatures, maybe this can help combat spam attacks. It was never if bitcoin needs to scale, it was always when and now would be the apt time.

Every technology needs updating. Similarly, BTC was best when it was introduced, now the situation has been changed, more than many country's populations joined into crypto world and the gateway is BTC. I support the Segwit completely and we needed some changes.
