In its announcement, Bitfinex stated,“The SegWit implementation means Bitfinex users can benefit from lower BTC withdrawal fees(approximately 15 percent) and improved processing times on transactions across the Bitcoin network.”.
Conversely, the amount of power consumed by the Bitcoin network in one year could power all tea kettles used to boil water for 11 years in the United Kingdom, and 1.5 years in Europe(incl. the U.K.).
In fact, you don't expect that this technology, which was brought to the market with a hope to decentralize and give more power to the peers, is indeed very much centralized, because only a handful of super miners control the mining process in the Bitcoin network and in the past, very often only a single miner could have controlled 51% of the money capacity- Ghash.
