I wasn't really looking to be convinced, I just wanted a peek from a different perspective. After having read what you shared, let's agree to disagree.
To play devil's advocate for a moment, you could have said the same thing about Bitcoin until pretty recently. In fact the mainstream is still quite skeptical. From my perspective, BCH and BSV are pretty shitty fundamentally and don't have bright futures, but I've been wrong about altcoins many times before. A few years ago, I never would have thought Ethereum would grow as large as it did. Who knows?
Under the context of the conversation, I meant the existing crypto community (and some overflow with the media and casual investors, but they're fickle) when I said "mainstream". I wasn't doubting BCH and BSV in a general sense, I was doubting the prospect of them pulling a flippening over BTC given recent trends.
Who knows could be said about nearly every given situation, but that doesn't change the likelihood of something happening, which is what I was addressing.
