BSV as an archival service is legitimately great. With the search function working properly, I can find videos I've posted years ago in seconds. Many of the YouTube videos I've posted in the past have been taken down, dead links are no longer accessible. It shows the immediate value of storing information on a public ledger.
Blockchain as an immutable database has a great future, it is the most promising use of the technology as I see it. Whether BSV captures that space, or something else, data answers the question about what exactly gives digital tokens value beyond mere artificial scarcity.

CSW's talk of law and order drew me in. It's unfortunate that he's such a controversial figure, his persona has not served the technology well. Withstanding his peculiarities surrounding alleged forgeries, "stomping the hard-drive", pineapple routers, and other memes. Craig Wright still tends to take accurate positions surrounding systems, his viewpoints trend toward correct. Stubborn as I am, I cannot release the argument that BSV is in line with the intended implementation of the Bitcoin technology.

Recapturing public favor, gaining the prestige of being the "legitimate" Bitcoin is a bit of a Hail-Mary play. Low odds of success, massive leverage if successful. BSV Association, Wright, Ayre, etc. have fumbled massively. Aside from this political reality, I am more confident in the fundamental technical proposition of BSV than ever. Bitcoin was originally intended to be a low fee data transmission system attached to a unit of currency.
