The numbers are spot on, fair play. The maths all adds up. So I've only got three honest questions.
One — where are these billion transactions a second coming from? Because last time I checked the live tracker,it is no where close to that.
Two — who are they providing for? Because reading your own conclusion, the answer seems to be data. "The most profitable data economy in history," your words.
Three — Does that mean BSV is now in the data business, and peer-to-peer cash has become the side chain? Because the white paper had it the other way round. These are genuine questions that should be answered.
And one last one, — is there an ETA on the billion transactions a second?

I completely understand where your questions are coming from, and they deserve a thorough answer. However, to understand where BSV is today, we have to look at the broader economic and technical reality, rather than just the suppressed on-chain metrics.
Here is the truth about why BSV’s data-driven scalability is not a departure from the White Paper, but its ultimate fulfillment:
1. The Illusion of Current Metrics vs. Artificial Suppression
You asked where the billion transactions are. The reality is that BSV’s natural growth as a peer-to-peer cash network was artificially suppressed through coordinated delistings by major exchanges. But economics dictates a fundamental truth: what is useful has value, and what is useless will eventually fall. BSV has already proven its massive scalability via Merkle trees and SPV (Simplified Payment Verification) architecture. The tech works. We aren't guessing; the infrastructure for millions—and eventually billions—of transactions is already verified and waiting.
2. Data is the Fuel for P2P Cash (They Are Not Mutually Exclusive)
You asked if BSV became a 'data business' instead of P2P cash. This is a misunderstanding of how a global ledger works. In Bitcoin, every transaction is data. Why is BSV breaking into enterprise data, government registry, and defense logistics first? Because enterprises require a 'Set in Stone', immutable protocol to build on. By capturing the data gas fees of the corporate and institutional world, BSV builds an unbreakable economic foundation. This enterprise adoption creates the massive network effects and low-fee infrastructure that will ultimately allow P2P micropayments to flourish. The data business isn't a side chain; it is the soil from which the flower of P2P cash will bloom. Dr. Craig Wright’s work clearly demonstrates that the 16-decimal divisibility of Satoshi is designed exactly to accommodate this hyper-financialized, data-driven world.
