The military has been useing BSV is that not mass adoption ?

It's important to separate"the military is using BSV" from"the military is evaluating blockchain technology."
I could not find evidence that the U.S. military has officially adopted BSV as a production system across military operations. What I did find are BSV-community sources discussing military interest in proof-of-work blockchain technology and citing statements that military organizations have been experimenting with blockchain-related security concepts.bsvtimes
From a technology-adoption perspective, there are several levels:
Experimentation
A government agency runs tests, pilots, or research programs.
Operational Deployment
A specific department uses the technology for a real function.
Enterprise Adoption
The technology becomes part of standard infrastructure across many units.
Mass Adoption
Large-scale use across governments, businesses, consumers, and software ecosystems.
Even if a military unit were using BSV in a real project, many analysts would still not call that "mass adoption." They would call it an important enterprise or government deployment.
For example:
If the Pentagon used a BSV-based audit system, that would be a major validation.
If thousands of businesses, banks, governments, and consumers used BSV daily, that would be closer to mass adoption.
The stronger BSV bull argument is actually:
A single large government or military deployment could generate enormous transaction volume even before public consumer adoption.
That's different from mass adoption but could still be economically significant.
The key question for investors is:
Has BSV demonstrated the technical capability? Many supporters say yes.
Has BSV achieved widespread market adoption? Most of the market would currently say no.
Could a few large institutional users create substantial utility despite limited public visibility? Yes, that's a plausible thesis.
If you'd like, I can also do a deeper, evidence-based comparison of actual measurable adoption metrics for BSV vs XRP, including transaction volume, active ecosystem, enterprise deployments, developer activity, and institutional usage claims.

why would humanity not just use bsv then

That's the core argument made by many BSV (Bitcoin SV) supporters:
If BSV can scale to very high transaction volumes, has very low fees, supports large amounts of on-chain data, and follows a "single global ledger" vision, why would businesses need XRP, XLM, or other networks?
The answer is that technology alone rarely determines adoption.
Why BSV Supporters Think BSV Could Win
BSV proponents point to:
Massive on-chain scaling ambitions (Teranode)
Extremely low transaction costs
Data storage and tokenization capabilities
Smart contracts and enterprise applications
A single ledger approach instead of many specialized chains
Under this view, payments, tokenization, identity, supply chains, and financial messaging could all run on one network.

Why the Market Has Not Simply Chosen BSV

1. Network Effects
   Technology is only part of the equation.
   Ripple has spent years building relationships with:
   Banks
   Payment providers
   Regulators
   Central bank pilots
   Even if BSV were technically superior, institutions often adopt what has established partnerships and ecosystem support.

2. Regulatory Certainty
   Large institutions care about:
   Legal frameworks
   Compliance
   Vendor support
   Counterparty relationships
   Many decision makers are not evaluating which blockchain is technically best. They're evaluating risk.

3. Different Value Propositions
   Consider:
   XRP
   Focused primarily on liquidity and settlement.
   XLM
   Focused on payments and remittances.
   LCX
   Focused on regulated tokenization and compliance.
   BSV
   Tries to be a broader platform for data, payments, and applications.
   Markets frequently reward specialization rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.

4. Adoption Comes Before Technical Perfection
   History shows the best technology does not always win.
   Examples often cited:
   VHS vs Betamax
   Windows vs several technically superior operating systems
   TCP/IP vs competing networking protocols
   The winner is often the ecosystem with the most users, developers, partners, and capital.

The Strongest Bull Case for BSV
The strongest BSV thesis is not:
"BSV replaces XRP."
It's:
"If BSV achieves Teranode-scale throughput and gains meaningful enterprise adoption, many current blockchain use cases could potentially be consolidated onto one ledger."
If that happened, the rationale for many separate payment and tokenization chains would weaken.

The Strongest Bear Case Against BSV
The counterargument is:
Scaling claims alone do not create demand.
Even if BSV can process enormous transaction volumes, it still must attract:
Developers
Enterprises
Financial institutions
Liquidity
Regulatory acceptance
Without those, technical capability may not translate into market dominance.

From a purely technical architecture perspective, many BSV supporters would argue that a successful Teranode-scale BSV could theoretically handle much of what XRP, XLM, and LCX are trying to accomplish.
From a market adoption perspective, however, XRP currently has stronger institutional penetration, XLM has broader payment-network adoption, and LCX has a more focused regulatory/tokenization niche.
So the real question is not whether BSV can do those things. The question investors debate is whether the world will choose to build on BSV at scale, which is ultimately an adoption and execution question rather than a technical one.

If you're ranking only by investment risk (not potential returns), I'd rank them:

1. XRP (Lowest Risk)
   Why:
   One of the largest and most liquid crypto assets.
   Backed by a long-established company (Ripple).
   Significant legal clarity gained in the U.S. compared to many altcoins.
   Institutional partnerships and global recognition.
   Survived multiple crypto cycles.
   Risk Rating: ★★☆☆☆ (2/5)

2. XLM (Moderate Risk)
   Why:
   Large, established network with real payment use cases.
   Strong nonprofit foundation behind development.
   Less regulatory controversy than XRP, but also less institutional momentum.
   Broad adoption for remittances and stablecoin transfers.
   Risk Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5)

3. LCX (Highest Risk)
   Why:
   Much smaller market capitalization.
   Success depends on growth in tokenization and regulated digital asset markets.
   Lower liquidity and less widespread adoption.
   More vulnerable to competition from larger exchanges and tokenization platforms.
   Risk Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5)

If You Wanted Maximum Potential Return

My "Balanced" View
For an institutional-finance thesis:
50% XRP
30% XLM
20% LCX
This gives exposure to:
Bank settlement (XRP)
Global payments/stablecoins (XLM)
Tokenization and regulatory infrastructure (LCX)
In a severe crypto downturn, I'd generally expect XRP to hold up best, XLM second, and LCX to be the most volatile, but LCX could also deliver the largest percentage gains if tokenization adoption accelerates.
