Hi Jimmy, thanks for the layman's version of segwit but if I have understood correctly does this no reduce the security of Bitcoin as only those that can handle the bigger boxes can audit the signatures?

Presumably the hope is that everyone will move to the bigger boxes in due course?

Described this way I can understand why some people preferred to go down the Bitcoin cash route and simply make the box bigger, but how do they cope with the issue that some Bitcoins will have been in the smaller boxes?
