...Well, SegWit is like foreplay for full blown sex. You cannot have the Lightning Network, if you did not implement SegWit first. SegWit included some code that was the preparation for the Lightning Network. If your local exchange was one of the first to implement SegWit, then you should applaud them for that, because they are pioneers in this field.
I think many of these SegWit enabled exchanges will also host Lightning Network hubs in the future and this will be the orgasm to this orgy. ^smile^
That's a funny way to put things, but I couldn't agree with you more.
As for exchanges using segwit, and although they seem to be taking forever to do so, specially big ones, like coinbase, I must say I understand their position. A lot has been said about their priority not being focused on their customers well being, and some even go further by saying that coinbase was almost deliberately "sabotaging" bitcoin by contributing to the high fees we were having. I honestly don't think they were doing that. They are one of the largest exchanges, and they need to approach these steps with caution, and with a lot of testing first, because any mistakes in their business would represent a huge blow in terms of profit, and actually a huge blow for bitcoin as well, since coinbase is seen as one of the safest exchanges out there.
If they would lose funds because they've decided to rush things, the impact on bitcoin would be huge, so I'm glad they took their time, and I do believe everything will turn out well. As for their priority I would say it's profit of course. They are running a business, and I don't expect that their main concern it the well being of their customers. So if implementing bcash trade first would give them more profit, I understand that this would be their priority. Nothing really wrong with that, and I think it's normal.
