No. If segwit use jumped to 100% (currently stands at ~10%) then the transaction rate capacity would roughly double.

- mikeash 9y agoDidn’t segwit result in a fork?
- mrb 9y agoYes (soft fork). But it already took place, so there is currently network capacity to double the tx rate without another fork (although it will likely take 1-2 years for Segwit use to approach 100%).
- mikeash 9y agoGiven how imprecise "an American home" is, quibbling over a factor of 2 seems pointless. So if the network went all-in on segwit, a single transaction could instead power a smaller American home for a week? Goodie.
