    Sure! Checking the activation status of SegWit in Bitcoin is quite simple. You can use a blockchain explorer like Blockchair or Blockchain.com to check the current status. Just enter the Bitcoin address you want to check, and these explorers will show you whether SegWit is activated or not. If the address starts with a '3' or 'bc1', it means that SegWit is activated. If it starts with a '1', it means that SegWit is not activated.

    To check the activation status of SegWit in Bitcoin, you can also use a Bitcoin wallet that supports SegWit. Most modern wallets have a feature that indicates whether SegWit is activated for a specific address. Simply import your Bitcoin address into the wallet and look for the SegWit indicator. If it's enabled, then SegWit is activated for that address.
