scam might be a harsh word. it's one thing to buy a little BSV & go through the process of ordering the book and exploring the space in general, it's another to speculate on BSV value and make a meaningful investment. Craig Wright's dubious origins and aspirations aside, i personally had no problem obtaining BSV to order the book and really look forward to further exploring the author's ideas. also, as someone semi crypto literate, have enjoyed taking a closer look at the BSV ecosystem and will probably continue to poke around only for educational purposes. from an author/publisher standpoint, seems that building on top of an L2 ETH chain would make the most sense in the longer term, but maybe wasn't really a mature/viable option at the inception of Canonic. maybe BSV goes the path of Urbit and ends up being some shady corner of the interwebs, maybe not, but agree with author it's good for people to dip toes in crypto sphere with eyes wide open wearing a sceptics hat (key skill for the future)
that's a fair apolitical warning.. sorry to hear that about your friend. agree that BSV being someone's intro to crypto is basically asking them to learn a few things the hard way. personally i'll never invest, but i did grab the book which doesn't benefit BSV so much, just another dirty currency for me. better for business if Canonic evolves to another chain in the long run

Scam is not harsh enough. The leaders of BSV have been threatening the livelihood of a friend of mine in a ridiculous lawsuit.
At very least those new to "crypto" should know that it is widely seen as a scam, and has been delisted from most exchanges because of that.
Canonic gets nothing, other then buzzword compliance, from "using" BSV. It is not decentralised (only 30 nodes)
