Craig Wright, BTC USA Copy Rights/Patent Troll: What is his 'Endgame'?

[Searing]

Ok. Craig Wright filled out a form stating he is Satoshi. Paid the $35 fee. He also is playing 'Patent Troll' and registering lots of those as well..

What is the endgame?

1) He was part of a Satoshi Group with say, Hal Finney, Dave Kleiman, and himself. They did set up, as he states a 'Tulip Trust' of the early

Bitcoin 'test mined' as he said, that he can access, (as the last man standing now), thus getting Billions and proving he is Satoshi as he states.

(or at least the last part of the group alive). I don't buy it, but stranger things have happened in the World. (Trump as President). So it is out there.


2) He does the Copy Right USA stuff and using that the same in other countries along with the patent trolling of applications in the 100's. Help him

in any manner, even if he is proven NOT to be Satoshi?


So even if NEITHER of the above is true, or if any of the ABOVE is true...I can't see what he hopes to gain from all this, except publicity.


Enlighten me on how the scam or in his words, process, plays out with either 1) or 2) above or just plain...not either.

Again, don't get it. If he HAS access to such funds Jan 1st, 2020. Why all this other smoke and mirrors and drama? What advantage?

Anyway, for better minds than my own.

I SUPPOSE I could point out the other possibility in that it is just to hype Bitcoin SV and the price (it did more than double today) and play

patent troll and use the copyright to confuse many and make scammer $$$ (IMHO) that way. Get paid off for being a pain on such things in the future.

But I just don't get how his 'scheming' is supposed to work. Either if he DOES have access to Tulip Fund or that too is a lie. Any of his actions seem

to be purely for attention. Indeed, I see nothing in his antics to improve his lot as either 1) proving he is Satoshi or 2) Getting copyrights and patents

across the world to use as some kind of 'payoff' lever?. Anyway, after the fact, stating he is Satoshi.

As far as 'evil genius' goes, he seems to be lacking the skills to pull this off in either manner.

Well, let me know what you think all this drama, in whatever scenario above, hopes to accomplish. (makes my head hurt)

better minds than me and all that

Take the Poll

I used to ponder this same question. If it's an elaborate con -- perhaps having to do with his tax evasion case with Australia -- then it doesn't outwardly make sense. But maybe we don't have all the details?

At this point, I think it really is all about the publicity and the guy has psychological issues. I think he's a megalomaniac and is seeking out ways to inflate his sense of social importance by injecting himself into the media any way he can.

Maybe he is heavily invested in BSV and thinks this sort of notoriety is good for the price. That's one alternative explanation.

[vycl87]

Let's put everything aside. You're Satoshi. If you had thought to come out one day, would you try to stay that much? I do not think so. And it's easy for Craig Wright to prove all his claims.

Everyone knows that Satoshi owns many Bitcoins. If Satoshi wants to prove that he is, he can transfer all these Bitcoins to a wallet where he will create it and then redistribute it. I guess that could convince us all.

After all, this is resolved to be Satoshi, he can tell us what he wants about these issues. Let's think about endgame when those times come.

[franky1]

1) no, he had nothing to do with bitcoin 2008-2011

2) yes, he is doing it to fake his way to privelidge without actually owning the bitcoin collateral
one reason is to get money from others like any ponzi guy would
one reason is he still has the aussie government on his back so is trying literally anything to fake his claims to try getting them off his back

either way. he does not own the satoshi stash of coins that made up his 'tulip trust' so civil courts will still pursue him.
he just hopes to get rich enough to pay them off, inclding other investors he duped.

but putting aside his personal legal issues. by putting his name to claims of patenting the bitcoin whitepaper can lead to him filing new patents and making it a lil harder for others to contest his claims even when its obvious he is a fake. which could lead to him using patents to then sue people frivolously(for nonsense reasons) and mess with the bitcoin community, which could cause alot of negatives and affect peoples utility of bitcoin through official institutions and legit businesses

Anyway here I made this post on WO. It explains:

Guys,

Who Is Satoshi Nakamoto? - "How Many Wrongs Make A Wright?"



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQz45EAvWSM

The entire industry is misguided. Save it! Stop buying (pumping) this BSV shit. It's gonna crash soon.

[Ailmand]

I'm wondering what would be the best thing that he could benefit from that? Is he really that frustrated to seek attention in that way? No one in the right mind would believe that he's the real Satoshi. I think he needs phychiatric help for doing such thing. Maybe he has a hidden agenda or he might be earning something by faking and pretending that he's Satoshi.

[BQ]

Is 1) impossible tho? he is educated in computer science, math, and he was in crypto early?

[Genemind]

I guess he was just too frustrated that Bitcoin Sv just ended up as trash from being a potential coin. He did a wrong move which ruined the standing of his coin.
He's just trying to prove something but his inconsistency is actually visible.
The good thing about Bitcoin is it ignores this kind of issue and it is still soaring high. I think it's about time to ignore and not even spare single attention for Craig.

[franky1]

no one outside of craigs circle jerk ponzi club cares about bitcoinsv. its just a pump and dump coin.
dont give bitcoinsv another thought.
all that should be thought about is how craig can mess with btc

Definitely, he's getting some sort of compensation from all this drama and stunts.
And since he's filing a registration for bitoin's wp and code, he might be after for the money again.
If no one contests his filing, he will get the copyright under his name even if he's not the original one.
I hope the Copyright Office will not approve such filing.
He's making this move because his BSV coin is going down anytime soon.
But I still don't understand what he wants in his life. For sure, he has the money already for his retirement age.
Is he hungry for power or money or recognition?

That is one of the best solution and a proof that he is fake.
He should have done it in the first place to prove to all of us that he is the real creator but most of his stance are purely drama.
I also have the same question as OP because I don't see any benefits from being Satoshi unless you just wants publicity and fame.

[coin-investor]

I'm still wondering why he had to go through all this, and just do the easiest thing and this is my signing one of the addresses associated with Nakamoto address, or just login in here and interact with us, this will end everything and we will be hailing him as the real Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, now everything is just a publicity stunt to hype his coin.

[vit05]

Crazy people sometimes repeat so much a lie that they end up believing it to be true. And believing it to be true, they end up dragging some followers by the passion with which they defend these lies.

Not Satoshi. No Fund. Chaos!

[pushups44]

At this point, given that he is putting his weight legally in the U.S. and the UK, I expect he will be forced at some point to prove he is Satoshi under a court of law and will fail. By then, he may have dumped all of his BSV. It's hard to say what his goal is, but this charade can only continue for so long.

[avikz]

Initially I used to think in similar ways but the recent turn of events also turned my thinking process to a different avenue. I can think of some possibilities and please let me know if you have the same feeling.

1. Satoshi was shot dead by US agents and now they are trying to capture the entire cryptospace by awarding copyright to their agent Craig. (Another fellow member already mentioned it)

2. Blockchain will be copyrighted which officially marks the end of the blockchain technology.

3. Craig is an evil (I won't say genius) and has a bigger plan which is yet to be revealed.

Frankly, I can just guess the possibilities, but not sure how the things will turn out!

[pooya87]

no, he is not Satoshi.
no, he had nothing to do with bitcoin in early years or even afterwards apart from maybe buying some after many years
he is simply scamming and so far he is (legally) getting away with his scam although it is one of the most obvious scams! and doing that he is trying to make a lot of money through different ways from his shitcoin BSV to scamming a bunch of companies.
as far as i understood this it not a "patent" but only a "copyright" claim which anybody could make just as easily and have it listed on that .gov website and it doesn't mean anything since it is not even approved. it is just showing such submission (claim) exists.

but why would a copyright registration help to capture the whole cryptospace or end blockchain technology? the entire space is built around FOSS ethics and free software!

satoshi already distributed the source code under a free software license that allows anyone to freely use/change/distribute it. why does craig wright seem to believe registering a copyright now will change anything?

it's true, he could have bigger plans and we're only scratching the surface. right now, he just looks like a madman to me.

[dothebeats]

Being 'early' in the game doesn't secure you a spot in the circles of Hal Finney and Satoshi. Also, he may be literate in the field of Computer Science but even Andreas Antonopoulos doubted his capabilities in understanding the intricate technicalities of bitcoin and blockchain during the BCH forks. He's just a con artist at best, and is only doing all of these in order to gain privileges for himself and also profit purposes, obviously.

Copyright or not, bitcoin will never be controlled by a single entity, and if comes up to that, another hardfork might come and therefore render CSW's patent useless. $35 fee for the copyrights is too small a price for a multi-billion dollar industry. Idk what the US had in mind when they approved the application, but I can see that they can use CSW in what ever purpose they may see him fit in the future (hint: a puppet).

Or that he really is Satoshi doing a social engneering attack on himself, and by claiming that "he is Satoshi" without providing actual proof, the more everyone reacts in a way that he has always wanted. Not to believe that he's Satoshi.

Satoshi had always made the proper measures to protect his identity.
