ISP's are paid to serve data, Miners are paid to write data to the blockchain.
The most valuable information network is the ledger we all voluntarily (anarchically) agree is the definitive ledger of who owes who what.
How we measure adoption is simple to take limited units of the new system and divide by the number of people. The old units are a proxy or a science control. (aka USD number go up)
Hence the name of this thread. Gold, being the legacy proxy (it's now a science control) that was superseded by fiat, Bitcoin is the new system. We can use any unit of account eg Pork Bellies (rather morbid if I say so myself). What is important is that both parties making a voluntary exchange feel they are getting value and are not being coerced (ie are free to act on our free will).
In the case of BTC the ledger is doomed because only ~2000 transactions can happen in any given 10 minute period. BSV is superior in that regard. BSV falls short only because of the bad PR and reputation cost of using that ledger is so bad the price to wright data to the ledger is discounted so much that people question it's long term viability.

Bitcoin is like Schrodinger's cat, it is BTC, BCH, BSV or any combination, one or the other. CSW is trying to use an authority to make us all define it as BSV, and I'm OK with that, most capitalists and authoritarian think that's cheating and dishonest.
As an anarchist I want him to try. whatever happens, I learn more about the state of the system I work in. I also happen to probabilistically have more upside potential if he is successful as BSV can be adopted by more people. So wanting him to win, and building for the future I want, and investing appropriately for that future is the best I can think to do. We are both on a motion to propagate anarchy as defined by me, not CSW. (CSW's definition of anarchy is synonymous with the word kayos. eg. you could just change the world and it wouldn't change his meaning)
It just so happened that if CSW is satoshi, he agrees with me as noted by his HODLing of BTC, he does a lot of shit-talking which ironically undermines my BSV.

Here we close the loop, the relative truth movement infects Bitcoin.

There was a time five years ago or more when someone here would have suggested a get together/meet up to celebrate ; no chance of that happening today and not that I would attend . Look how fragmented we have become. Expected given gvt intervention long ago. It's amazing we even have one fork that's broken out. That gives me hope/assurance that the cat is outta the bag. One of the forks will win, I don't care which. I let you guys fight the battle of ideas these days. I'm tired of that, I did my time, but satisfied that we've in aggregate won the war. I just would rather not see an on balance huge pull back of all 3 to shake my conviction. Citi could be right ; we may be at the tipping point although not in the way they probably think. It's time for the true sha256 fork to stand up and moon.
