Bitcoin is the "Whip" that We the People must use to drive out the money-changers from the Temple we may call "Freedom". I favor Roger Ver's view that block-size is key, and that Segwit is only a temporary solution, and maybe even a clever delay of a real solution, but that's okay.
A block-size increase will come, and I'm sure BTC will survive it, especially if the price after this latest fork is any indication.
