Higher tx fees coming for Bitcoin? & the EOS scandal!
Safe Crypto Show - S01E40
Weekly Crypto Headlines, Stories & Discussion Plus Maidsafe's Safe Network Development Update
Correction: When discussing Bitcoin's SegWit Adoption Rate I mistakenly overestimated Bitcoin's current transaction rate ... I believe the correct estimate would be around 4.5 - 5 tx/sec. according to Jimmy Song's published statement here: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/46115/how-many-more-transactions-per-second-will-be-possible-with-segwit
