implications for Bitcoin?

They could do it,We all have different opinion and I think most of us already know that he is not the real or original Satoshi Nakamoto ,
People could believe or say whatever they want but don't expect that everyone would agree to it.
No matter what happens the real crypto enthusiast wouldn't see him as Satoshi since he couldn't prove it.

Yeah that is truly craig wright claiming he is a real satoshi but people didn't convince for his ambitions, I don't understand what is the basis about this news.

I suspect disinformation is being passed by people trying to pump bitcoin cash SV. It's really fishy how stuff is being made up on the fly and evidence continually ignored while the same propaganda is pushed. Again, what is the motive of this disinformation?

You had a point, this time bitcoin raising up i think craig make possible strategy because he want to try bitcoin cash SV to race the bitcoin at this moment.

Been seeing threads related to this topic. But I want to know if the US Copyright Office already granted the approval of the filing of Wright? I thought he just filed the registration docs but nothing tangible yet. Unless, once you filed, is it assumed approved? Can somebody file a petition of fraud?

If this guy is Satoshi Nakamoto, I am selling all my Bitcoin and buying Dogecoin, Maybe Bitconnect 2.0

I hate him.  he fraud many people by regard themselves as satoshi.  and in reality he only wil to find popularity behind the name of Satoshi.  I read in the media that there was a lot of false evidence and he could not prove it as the original satoshi.  I don't want to hear about him.

[Oceat]

Someone must have made up all of this mess i guess and i don't know why they really have to push it while trying to convince most of the people that he is really the Satoshi. I guess they want the Bitcoin SV to get more investors for adoption to raise their price or maybe someone must have been trying to convince that about the faketoshi so that most exchanges would have to delist them.

OP wants to be taken seriously, yet rolls out zero activity insta nuke account shit like this that can be unravelled within 0.5 seconds. My nasal hair could make the same application. It means nothing.

Weird to see people wander off into their little boxes of madness when once upon a time they were relatively together.

I dont really parse the first sentence, "want to be taken seriously"? Why on earth would I come for bitcointalk for "peer validation" honestly, have you read the responses here. it's incredible.

Mind you, all is not lost fro you - from your tone it seems you are ahead of the game - already at #stage2anger

most are still at #stage1denial

whats been absolutely fascinating about this thread is discovering that in fact many are at a previously undiscovered "stage 0" - absolutely clueless

We cannot do anything to him, and we could only wish that he will stop for spreading the fake news so the public will not get false news.
Let the US Govt say like that because they can do that and we don't have to listen to them, and it's better to leave this as a mystery.
If the time is right, the real Satoshi Nakamoto will show himself to the public (or he will not ).

[sgbett]

Has anyone considered that they are having an emotional response based on fear that their BTC holdings are going to devalue?

I don't suppose many of you really know me, my history on BCT, but I can assure you I know what that feels like to feel fear.

It was during the original BTC/BCH split where I had to make a decision, at the time CSW wasn't such big factor. Perhaps that made it easier, I don't know.

What made it *really* difficult was being a staunch BTC holder for years. It was like BCH was an attack on *my* Bitcoin.

When I eventually concluded that BCH represented the Bitcoin I believe in, despite being invested in BTC, thats when I knew it must be.

When BCH/BSV split happened it was easier, and yet still I had the bias of $ value dragging me one way.

Still, I chose BSV because I have, since I was first here (check me out if you like) always believed in *Bitcoin*.

I still do, unwavering, unfaltering. It was never about CSW, yet for so many of you BTC die hards, it still seems to be.

Fascinating.

Please don't spread misinformation. The US Government is not recognizing Craig Wright at all - anyone could make this filing. It doesn't confirm anything and just shows further that he doesn't understand bitcoin.

[franky1]

The code was released under MIT license. Hilariously, Wright seems very confused about how this works in practice:

but craig with his name on a certificate in relation to the 2008 whitepaper could claim that he created bitcoin under closed source in 2008 and that MIT infringed him. thus try suing MIT, as well as suing whoever he pleases.

MIT the entity has nothing to do with it. They are just named for the permissive free software license that originated there.

Satoshi published the original code under the MIT license here. This is what the license entails:

I don't see how Craig has any leg to stand on, legally. I'm also fairly sure that Craig isn't the first to attempt a copyright claim like this.

I suspect disinformation is being passed by people trying to pump bitcoin cash SV. It's really fishy how stuff is being made up on the fly and evidence continually ignored while the same propaganda is pushed. Again, what is the motive of this disinformation?

the point is not what is evident. its that some aussie con man can try finding some loose reason to try sueing an institution not to win. not to prove anything. but to try getting a early 'settlement' just to make the claim go away.

EG craig can with his name on a certificate can say his version 0.1 in january was X but MIT edited 0.1.5 in september 2009 to add MIT open source.
even though its not true. now MIT has to respond IN COURT

this happens many many times. people file frivolous patent suits even for things they dont own. but do it just to try getting quick settlements. all they need is something flimsy just to kickstart a case

craig doesnt need a leg to stand on. all he needs is a toe in the door and then he can harass anyone that opens a door to him. thats the point. to have legal standing involves standing in court to defend. all craig needs to do is show some flimsy certificate to atleast start a fight. and then let the other side get bloody trying to defend/counter. bcaus if they dont defend it, he wins by default. in which case most just pay up to shut up.

EG go to a bar. find someone that looks like they dont want to fight/cant fight and try to provoke them. more then likely the other side will try to avoid a fight by giving you a free beer to cheer you up/calm you down. even if the one getting provoked done nothing wrong

anyone in america prepared to file to change the record so it shows something like 'satoshi and everyone under MIT licence open source' just to quash this or prove its that easy to get craig removed

[Indrawan77]

I have a feeling that this is not right, I think Craig is just looking for popularity, why suddenly a person come out and claiming that he created bitcoin, it's very strange and why does he want to develop the BSV, isn't it better for him to just develop bitcoin that already got fame and value, something is really odd

implications for Bitcoin?

Hmmph, faketoshi is faketoshi. His little altcoin is going nowhere even after pulling this stunt, no one believes this fraud. So whats next, sending C&D letters to anyone daring to reproduce the white paper? Let him try, see where he gets when angering the Net...

This proves once again that copyright law in the US is a joke, but then that is the country with the eternal Mickey Mouse © where even silence got a ©.

[franky1]

So whats next, sending C&D letters to anyone daring to reproduce the white paper? Let him try

thats my theory of his next game. and its a very lucrative market for scammers.
spend a cheap lawsuit filing fee to open a case after a C&D warning shot. then make the recipient either not defend it, thus default win for craig. or the recipient trie settling with craig just to make him go away.

i dont think craig has any intention to use his now certificated name on that copyright to actually go through the full hurdle of a full lawsuit against people he C&D spams. he just wants to play the patent scammer trend of cheap settlement scamming

after all look at how many millions he scammed with just a text file of PUBLIC keys as his weapon a few years back. now h has a governemt piece of paper naming him for something. which can be weaponised too

[figmentofmyass]

Has anyone considered that they are having an emotional response based on fear that their BTC holdings are going to devalue?

if that's the case, why isn't the market pricing that in? the market has been completely sideways since this news emerged.

i reckon that wright's infamy might work in BSV's favor price-wise---any news is good news, right? but i don't think it has much effect on bitcoin.

I still do, unwavering, unfaltering. It was never about CSW, yet for so many of you BTC die hards, it still seems to be.

Fascinating.

unfortunately, the guy keeps inserting himself back into the conversation and people keep taking the bait. i'll be glad when he's no longer a subject of discussion, but he keeps finding silly ways to garner headlines.

he sure knows how to get under peoples skin.

[rdbase]

With statements like this one no wonder he keeps trucking on and gets under millionaires skin.

With the interview he did for nChain a new startup he is making himself to look less then who he claims to be.

Who created Bitcoin? Craig Wright reveals alleged contributors for the first time
https://youtu.be/8_SoIXUBIhw

[BlackFor3st]

It doesn't imply that his action proves that he is the genuine Satoshi Nakamoto as most of us already know that he is not the real one.

I wonder why U.S granted Craig S. Wright and even recognize him as the creator of Bitcoin. I am not sure if U.S is pulling something about their action and they are taking advantage about the anonymity of bitcoin that is why they want it to be owned by someone from their country which provide them a good advantage.

Good for him and those who support his cause,If by this they think the identity of Satoshi will be revealed to contest his claim they obviously are a bunch of jokers. Whoever wrote the white paper is irrelevant. Popular opinion is that it is Satoshi, some patent office is never going to change that in the heart of true bitcoin enthusiastes. BSV is altcoin and should be discussed under altcoin section.

Ohh really? Let me guess whoever wrote first version code according to the  whitepaper is also irrelevant and the only thing relevant is the bags you hold.
Copyright claim has nothing to do with patent office, he has over 700 patent applications pending, one or two approved so far.

[coin-investor]

On the plus side, if the US government did officially recognise Wright as satoshi,...

nobody has recognized him as dick, it is just that OP for some reason decide to choose this misleading title for his topic! what CW has done is just submission of a copyright which is not even accepted. and submission is not such a complicated or exclusive thing to do so anybody can do it.

That's a good way to attract more readers and comments if we have one good lawyer who does not believe in what Craig is doing he can object to that and charge Wright as personating a popular figure, somebody should stand up against this impostor, he will get a lot of support here if someone stand against this idiot.
