There are currently three proposals for activating Segwit on Bitcoin — Segwit2x, BIP 91 “Segsignal,” and BIP 148 “UASF.” The first two are intended only for use by miners and the third is primarily being run by users. We’ll take a look at each one in turn and show they all use a very similar approach to achieving their shared goal. We’ll also look at the differences between them and see what effects they can have on one another.
All roads lead to Segwit
