100% - Will BSV Make History?
Let me ask you a serious question, and I want you to sit with it before you answer.
Will BSV make history?
Because that is what you are really saying when you say it will rise to the top. You are not predicting something ordinary. You are predicting something that, as far as I can see, has never happened once.
Let me be careful here, because I am a fair man. History does not prove anything in a courtroom sense. We have not had crypto long enough to call anything a law. What we have is an indication. A pattern. A thing that has happened the same way every time we have watched it. And when the indication points the same direction every single time, you would be a fool not to at least look at it.
So here is the indication.
Coins fall ninety percent all the time. That part is normal. Nearly everything has done it at some point, even the giants. Falling is easy. The question is not whether something fell ninety percent. The question is whether anything that fell that far has climbed all the way back to become the number one coin in the world.
Not bounced. Not recovered a little. Risen, from the floor, to the very top.
Go and look for it. I will wait. Look through the whole short history we have and find me the coin that collapsed and then rose to become the top dog. Find me one. Because I have looked, and I cannot find a single one. It has not happened. Not yet, not once.
So when someone tells you BSV will rise to the top, understand what they are actually asking you to believe. They are not asking you to believe in something difficult. They are asking you to believe in something that has never occurred in the entire life of this asset class. That is not a forecast. That is a miracle with a roadmap drawn on it.
Now here is the second thing, and this one is even more important, because it is the quiet hope underneath all the rest.
There is a belief in our corner that goes like this: if Bitcoin fails, if Bitcoin one day goes to zero, then the world will turn around and pick BSV. That it inherits the throne. That it is next in line.
Let me ask the simplest question I know. Why?
Why would it? Second choice is not handed out by bloodline. The world does not pick the runner-up because it happens to share a surname with the thing that just died. If Bitcoin fell over tomorrow, people would not reach for the coin that has been sitting quiet at the bottom of the exchanges for years, the one almost nobody is using. They would reach for whatever is liquid, listed, and already in their hands. Already being used. Right now.
And by every one of those measures, BSV is not the second choice today. So explain to me the mechanism by which Bitcoin dying suddenly makes it one. A coin does not get promoted because its parent passed away. It gets chosen because people are already using it. And here is the part that should stop you cold: if it really were the heir, you would not have to wait for Bitcoin to die to find out. You would see it now. The price would be rising now. The listings would be growing now. You and I would feel it in our own hands, today.
We do not feel a thing. And that silence is the answer.
Let me be honest about the best card they hold, because I will not duck it. They say BSV is the original. The real one. The true chain on the legacy address, the genuine vision. Maybe so. I am not even going to argue it tonight.
Because here is my answer, and it is the quiet one. Who cares?
Truly. Who, out in the real world, picks their money based on which coin has the rightful claim to a name? Nobody chooses what to spend by reading a birth certificate. They choose what works. What their exchange lists. What their friend can receive. The market has never once handed the crown to a coin for being the rightful heir. It hands it to the one people actually use. Being the true Bitcoin and being the used Bitcoin are two completely different races, and only one of them has a prize.
So no. I do not think BSV makes that history. Not because I want it to fail. Nobody on this earth hopes I am wrong more than me. I would love to be one hundred percent wrong and watch it do everything they say. I am simply telling you what the indication shows, every time, without exception.
A coin has never fallen that far and risen to the top. And a runner-up has never been crowned just because the leader fell.
You are free to bet against both of those at once. I am just asking you to notice that is what the bet is.
Build thinkers, not followers.
Let us ponder this full well.

... "And a runner-up has never been crowned just because the leader fell" ... Here you are Wrong... A historical precedent in the Sports field in which Companies are the Assets in question : In Italy Football SERIE A 2005/2006 "the System", made JUVENTUS THE ABSOLUTE LEADER fall... And Crowned Inter as Winner...

the fact that bsv would make history makes me want to build on it

(You built Tree Chat — fair play, that's real, no taking that away. Excellent)
But here's the gentle knot in it. You built it... and it still hasn't made history. So the building wasn't the missing piece, was it? Something else is.
And when people answer "but it does a million transactions a second" — I'd only ask: a million of WHAT? Because if it's data, files, in-game tokens, then it's a fast database, and history's already full of databases. The number isn't the thing. Show me a million of one person paying another, spendable at a shop, and THEN I'm with you.
So I'd just turn it around: don't build because it might make history. Build because of what it lets a real person do today. If that thing is real, the history comes on its own. If you have to reach for "it would be historic," that might be telling you something.
Build thinkers, not followers.

i like that “build thinkers, not followers”. because as soon as people actually start thinking, the faster BSV will rise to the top
