A sovereign social network

Very good analysis. I would add that for many state institutions, using a publicly accessible blockchain is out of the question—why? Take the ECB as a concrete example: it opposes Proof-of-Work (PoW) because, imagine a country under economic sanctions—like Iran, Russia, or North Korea—mining and participating in the network; this would create a precedent incompatible with the rules governing those imposed sanctions. Furthermore, if the system (source code/protocol) is something they cannot control, running an economy on it is simply not an option. That is why BSV needs to establish itself as a global system, like an operating system (OS). Vitalik Buterin understood this well; ETH uses Proof-of-Stake (PoS), which is a controllable, oligarchic system—functioning exactly like Europe and its institutions. That is also why he is doing everything to turn ETH into a Layer-1 OS by 2027. To drive BSV forward, the Bitcoin Virtual Machine must be usable for building applications; it isn't just about infrastructure. Then there is the tarnished image surrounding BSV—the 51% attacks, the CESAM issues, the CSW fiasco—it’s all too much for the public! Unless [[CSW]] saves his own blockchain by settling the debate once and for all with verifiable, indisputable proof, such as the official signature of the genesis block. That would set a precedent and rehabilitate the project's reputation. But I suppose that entails too great a sacrifice, which is understandable. A clever move would be to include this proof in the [[Bitcoin movie]], where it could be verified by everyone, allowing fiction to merge with reality. That would entail equally significant consequences. Red pill or blue pill. Even if you have the latest, cutting-edge operating system, it comes down to a question of control; although no one can control BSV due to its protocol, it remains vulnerable to 51% attacks and CESAM-style interventions. It all comes down to a choice.
