BSV is a small cryptocurrency, the market cap is smaller than the joke coin Dogecoin. $4B is less than half of a percent of the market cap of Bitcoin. Furthermore, an investment in BSV isn't necessarily a validation of Craig Wright's claims.
It's the 23rd largest cryptocurrency. It's not especially small and you are comparing it to a crypto currently in the 14th spot, meme or not.

#42My money (er, bitcoin) is on Hal Finney. I knew Hal from occupying the dorm room next to mine at Caltech. Being Satoshi is just the kind of elaborate prank Hal would have loved. Besides, I've never met anyone as smart as Hal, and I've met a lot of smart people. In his last interview (when he could no longer speak) he was asked if he was Satoshi, and he just grinned. As for where the missing bitcoins are, my bitcoin i…
I thought that Hal denied being Satoshi in his final days?

This is well trodden ground but the genesis block message plus the distinctly British style of his writing convinces me that Satoshi has some connection with the UK.
Using word frequency analysis to determine authorship goes back at least to the 1970s.

Why do you think Hal would have been Satoshi but then also been the first developer using his real name?

Len is a good candidate, but here's one problem: Satoshi spoke up in 2014 on a long-dormant account[1] to say "I am not Dorian Nakamoto." This was a response to a Newsweek article that claimed to have found his identity. So maybe someone hacked that account-- but then, why didn't we get any more Satoshi activity? Or maybe Len (who took his own life in 2011) isn't Satoshi after all! [1] http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/f…
Satoshi's email was hacked and that wasn't signed with PGP I think the consensus is that the statement wasn't real
I don't know how this became the burden to prove that writing is from Satoshi since none of the well-known Satoshi writing meets it

Maybe if the cryonics thing works out, but that's a long shot.
Thats a serious sci-fi plot right there. Man cryonically freezes himself after inventing a cryptocurrency, wakes up in the far future the richest man in the world.
