So if you have that wallet since 2014 it means that you are storing a huge amount of money right now, at which rate did you bought those bitcoins? Because the price was less than $250 by those times if my memory is not broken.
I didn't knew that the legacy addresses were still online, i thought that everybody who had bitcoins had already moved their funds to a segwit address.
Why dont you do it? Maybe you are going to pay $30 of fees right now, but in the future you will only have to pay less.
And if the lightning network gets implemented you will need to switch your balance to update to it.
Admittedly 30-60 dollars is not that much for a largish transaction today. But what will the fees be later? Any guesses??

My brother asked me this yestearday beucase he bought a new ledger nano s thing and in the screen he had seen the device was asking for segwit or legacy blockchains. I told him to select segwit due to low fees.
Is there any chance to lose our bitcoin due to this selection in the future?
Beggars like me and Satoshi are keeping our coins on legacy addresses, well mostly Satoshi, because I don't even have 1BTC (note, did you know that now I could buy a small house to jump a prostitute (this is my first time, so I want to first experiment with a paid girl) with an amount less than 1BTC? 5 weeks ago it was 20BTC 3 weeks ago was 15BTC 2 weeks ago it was 1.5BTC, last week I begged people for 1BTC, now since I have no dignity, I'm begging you all for 0.9BTC.
OP if people want low fees, Segwit is there, it's not mandatory though.
