For your information I use Greenaddress.it for my webwallet needs. I mentioned Blockchain.info because they are one of the biggest utilizers of space in the blockchain together with Coinbase.
It would also be contrary to common sense for them to "sabotage" Bitcoin. If they do it will take whatever coin they are supporting with it. The state of the market now is a good example of that.
Topic: Thank you Coinbase. Segwit! (Read 154 times)
Finally! Coinbase is back in the program in helping the blockchain decongest and hopefully lower the fees at the same time.
I also hope that Blockchain.info will be next in announcing their update for their Segwit implementation. We need to free the blocks!

Bitcoin SegWit update
We wanted to give our customers an update on Bitcoin Segregated Witness (SegWit) transactions: we are planning to implement SegWit in 2018.
We are prioritizing security and performance over new features
In terms of our engineering priorities, securely storing customer funds remains our top priority. Our next priority is to ensure that our platform remains performant during periods of peak volume. Following security and performance, we are focused on adding new features for our customers.
Many of our customers have been asking for SegWit, and we’re working out a way to implement this upgrade safely. We store billions of dollars worth of bitcoin on behalf of customers and any change to our infrastructure is done with significant planning and consideration for the security and stability of our platform.
What is SegWit?
For those unfamiliar with SegWit, this upgrade helps reduce the size of transactions, which improves the overall transaction capacity of the Bitcoin network. This upgrade should also help reduce the fees customers pay on bitcoin transactions. You can read more about SegWit here.
We will share additional updates with our customers as we get closer to launching this feature.

Do not hold your breath that Blockchain.info would implement SegWit, because Roger Ver is heavily invested there from the start. Coinbase has to adapt, because a lot of people are leaving to signup with services that supports SegWit. Most people know that SegWit is linked to the Lightning Network and they saw how fast and cheap the Lightning Network was.
Why would you stay with a service that are sabotaging Bitcoin?
Finally! Coinbase is back in the program in helping the blockchain decongest and hopefully lower the fees at the same time.
