That's a fair distinction, and you're right that there's a criteria-based pathway too, not just the named one. I'll grant you that.
So let me ask it on your own terms — by criteria, not names. What's the first thing that actually decides whether something trades as a commodity in the real world? Liquidity. Being listed and tradeable on the recognised exchanges. And that's the very thing BSV lost when it was delisted from the majors. So the criteria route runs back to the same spot the named list did — a coin that isn't liquid on the big venues doesn't comfortably clear the practical bar, whichever way you read the list.
And here's the bit I can't get past, gently. Ask why Dogecoin made that fast-track and BSV didn't. It isn't because Dogecoin's tech is superior — we both know it isn't. It's because Dogecoin stayed listed, stayed liquid, got an ETF. The list isn't random. It's a snapshot of which coins the serious financial world actually touches. Names or criteria, BSV lands on the same side of the line.
I'd genuinely be glad to be shown otherwise. But "we meet the definition" still has to answer the one practical question underneath it — if that were felt to be true by the people who matter, wouldn't the listings already be coming back?

Hey! Let’s talk about what real liquidity actually means.
Back around 2014, when Bitcoin was functioning as intended, people in South Korea—and across Europe and Japan—were actually using it to buy things. You could walk into restaurants, cafes, pubs, and hair salons and pay with Bitcoin. That is real-world, peer-to-peer (P2P) economic liquidity.
But what happened? Once Bitcoin morphed into BTC, its throughput choked at just 5 TPS, and transaction fees skyrocketed. It abandoned its original purpose, got rebranded as 'digital gold' to hide its technical failure, and turned into a speculative Ponzi scheme. That's when real P2P transactions vanished.
The 'liquidity' and ETF snapshots you are so proud of right now are nothing but speculative trading volume inside a legacy financial casino. It’s not real-world utility.
But the foundation for the original vision is fully alive and ready. It won't be long before everyday people wake up to the high fees of BTC and realize they need a blockchain that actually works for daily commerce. When that shift happens, the utility-driven liquidity will return to the chain that can actually handle it.
You are acting just like a Doubting Thomas(on bible), blindly staring at today’s exchange listings while completely missing the inevitable return of real P2P electronic cash. Look past the casino, and start thinking for yourself
