well with the market as flat as it is now its a great time to deploy new upgrades with minimal disruption. While I realise this is not the most exciting upgrade It does give dapps on ETH a lot more room to breathe while they build a sustainable revenue model
I still think that ETH and BTC still have plenty to offer the world and once we get a solid 2nd layer protocal I think it will be a game changer. Thinks like atomic swaps, improved smart contracts and faster transactions and scale can really help the networks not only produce and attract wealth but retain it
