It’s plausible that Russia, North Korea, and China might consider BSV over BTC if the USA formally adopts BTC for the following reasons:

1. Geopolitical Opposition
•These countries often oppose the US-led financial systems and could view BTC’s formal adoption as an extension of American dominance.
•Choosing BSV would allow them to back a competing technology outside US influence.

2. Strategic Utility
•BSV’s scalable architecture makes it suitable for:
•Data sovereignty: Governments could control critical national data infrastructures.
•Smart contracts and digital payments: Supporting large-scale government and enterprise systems.
•BTC’s limited transaction throughput and high fees make it impractical for large-scale government use.

3. Economic Warfare
•BSV’s micropayment and tokenization capabilities would allow these countries to build blockchain-based economies and systems independent of the US-led global financial structure.
•They could tokenize natural resources, energy markets, and financial instruments without relying on USD systems.

4. Surveillance & Control
•BSV’s on-chain transparency and custom privacy solutions could provide greater state-level control while maintaining an illusion of openness.

5. Technological Leadership
•China already leads in blockchain development and could adopt BSV to maintain its digital yuan dominance, integrating scalable blockchain solutions into its financial and surveillance systems.

Outcome

While speculative, a BSV adoption by anti-Western states could trigger a global blockchain divide:
•USA-led BTC economy: Focused on store-of-value and speculative investment.
•BSV-backed economies: Centered on data-driven use cases, enterprise solutions, and scalable digital payments.
