What are the advantages of having a Segwit account over a regular account?
Segwit accounts have several advantages over regular accounts. Segwit accounts can be more secure because they use a new security feature called 2-of-3 multisig. This means that two out of three account holders must approve any transactions. regular accounts do not use 2-of-3 multisig, so they are less secure. Segwit also allows for faster transactions because the block size is smaller.
