Craig Wright recognised by US Govt as Satoshi, author of white paper

[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.

If he wanted to prove anything, he could simply just move one or two "Satoshis" from a few of the original bitcoin core addresses.   Right now he's the equivalent of those folks who take photos of themselves with other people's luxury automobiles.

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.

When I first read the article it was a bit confusing for me.
My logic-circuit was telling me that this is only an application which any madman can do.
Then I read the following part which is supposingly quoted from the registration,

The registration recognizes the author as Craig Steven Wright, using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto

The grammatical tense which is used here makes the statement sound like it's decided, but again I couldn't believe the US copyright office would be so incompetent and clueless.

The article also writes "Wright is now legally establishing that he is Bitcoin’s creator after being dismayed to see his original Bitcoin design" but I guess since they're supporting BSV, it's normal for them to be delusional.

To all BSV supporters, I've an idea you can consider for whenever you want to spread your news!
Here, I made an image for you to visualise it,

[ene1980]

who cares if US reconized him as satoshi

We know that his purpose is to milk every penny he can from Bitcoin.
He may now be able to start copyrighting and patenting. I really hope I'm wrong.

If he did patent to start milking money from the entire projects created, then it will be a bigger problem than we could imagine, even if he is the creator or part of the team, he could have proved that earlier and shut all these speculations but he choose the other option that is filled with drama which makes no sense and with the current copyright and patenting it looks like he wanted everyone to shit on him so that he can go after everyone and what will be the end result.

[stompix]

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

Oh, so the whole clickbait shit title makes sense now.
A BSV fanboy has decided that if a copyright claim is submitted it means the US Gubbermint is recognizing CW as Satoshi.

Seriously, I've never heard even once the US government recognizing through a bill or something that guy is a guy.
This is not national interest stuff, this is not politics and CW is not an US citizen.

So, the whole thing simply means nothing.

Btw, what do you hope, the US government breaking into houses and forcing bitcoin owners to change their coins to shitsv?
This is the spirit of Bitcoin, relying on the state to force people to use a certain coin?
Indeed, the ideal world Satoshi wanted, how blind I was!!!!

I don't understand what Craig Wright want so far, because if he is really Satoshi Nakamoto what will he does to bitcoin afterward. Wheater he will changing bitcoin to bitcoin sv or changing bitcoin with bitcoin cash? So as bitcoin will don't have a value. However, this case just will make him looks like crazy person IMO although I don't understand the mission he wants.

To him, forking means he own the coin and thus proves he is Satoshi. I think that's the whole point of all he had done.  It should have been easy for him to get our vote if he just prove it by signing a message but since he can't, his fans has to go all these troubles of publishing articles to pump its price. He seem to forget Craig isn't from US.

[Paashaas]

This guy is trying to find every hole in the system to prove himself being Satoshi, while nobody actually believes him.

Sad and pathetic.

[MakeMoneyBtc]

We all know this person is not the real Satoshi and all he is trying to do is take credits for something that someone else created. The real Satoshi wanted to remain anonymous and that's exactly why he didn't tried to claim his rights for the white paper but now it seems like the right thing to reveal himself because other people are trying to steal his work and basically his identity.

[Searing]

I made a thread on what the heck is all this drama and eventual endgame he hopes to accomplish...I just don't get it.

Anyway, for further consideration of the madness that is Craig Wright and his Satoshi obsession.

[Ultimist]

The bitcoin community is distrustful of this news. Many believe it is not real Satoshi. I also hold that view. Therefore, I do not think that this will significantly affect bitcoin.

[Mrsparks]

Hum why has Craig Wright refuse to focus on his project  BSV? I think this continous drama will do no good to the crypto space.. If he truly is Satoshi why has he failed to log in using his keys? Why start another project if you have a working one? I think only Craig can answer this questions..

When did he start another project?

That's quite the misleading image.

BCH was a hard fork of Bitcoin -- unlike Bitcoin, it is literally incompatible with the original protocol. BSV was a hard fork of BCH, so it's an even further perversion of what Bitcoin used to be.

The only protocol compatible with pre-Segwit Bitcoin is... Bitcoin.

[fiulpro]

Ok first of all let me just say one thing ,

He submitted the papers that's right , as Satoshi Nakamato

BUT

There is a twist,

The US copyright office said , He is not recognized as the owner of Bitcoins

End of the story.

This is quite funny though  because we all know he is going to try again.

I hope this thread dies the horrible, agonising death it so richly deserves with lashings of pus, blood, vomit, mucus and prolapsing.

In the case of the two registrations issued to Mr. Wright, during the examination process, the Office took note of the well-known pseudonym “Satoshi Nakamoto,” and asked the applicant to confirm that Craig Steven Wright was the author and claimant of the works being registered. Mr. Wright made that confirmation.

Of course you want this thread to die. Every day more and more light is shone into the dark places. It must be terrifying.

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.

That's true because how you can re identify if that's a real Satoshi nakomoto? No one knows who is he so better do what we do in crypto that to listen to people that can't give a good information. Yes we have a different opinion but not this opinion will be help about the situation.

[jerry0]

What is the purpose of him claiming this?  Do people here think it was him though more or less?


Also does he have a lot of crypto especially btc SV?  He's already rich right?  So this is for fame or something?

We're just supposed to take his word for it?

Anyone is free to claim they're Satoshi, but I prefer the "don't trust, verify" ethic. Craig Wright looks like any other wingnut filing a copyright claim.

What is the purpose of him claiming this? 

That's what we're all trying to figure out. The copyright claim doesn't give him any authority or recognition, under the law or otherwise. His logic is probably something along the lines of, "If I say it enough times, some people will think it's true."
