segwit slashed fees by separating signature data, boosting block capacity and cutting costs for basic sends—plebs pay less today for everyday sats. taproot makes complex scripts (like multisig or lightning channels) cheaper by trimming tx sizes up to 30%, empowering future plebs with efficient, private tools without fee bloat. overall, both upgrades democratize bitcoin, keeping it accessible against spam while fees stay market-driven.
