Even as bitoin SV (BSV) enjoyed a Craig Wright/Satoshi bump Tuesday, the U.S. Copyright Office was hard at work dispelling notions that it officially “recognized” anyone as the inventor of bitcoin.
“As a general rule, when the Copyright Office receives an application for registration, the claimant certifies as to the truth of the statements made in the submitted materials. The Copyright Office does not investigate the truth of any statement made,” the Copyright Office wrote in a press release. “In a case in which a work is registered under a pseudonym, the Copyright Office does not investigate whether there is a provable connection between the claimant and the pseudonymous author.”
All it takes to register a copyright is $55 and a stable internet connection. In short, any claim that the U.S. government has registered Wright as the author of bitcoin are spurious at best. Why did the government go to the trouble of clarifying this point? Wright’s actions required it. On Tuesday, a press representative sent a widely read release that suggested, in short, that the government accepted Wright was Satoshi.

This is just another funny moment for the man who will not stop at anything until every man and woman in this world will believe and maybe worship him as the real Nakamoto Satoshi. In fact, he can have the copyright if he wanted to but it will not have any bearing with Bitcoin network which is own by nobody. The Craig Wright saga is getting strange and all he is spewing is some comedic value worth watching as an entertainment at its best. I am sure the pump experienced by BSV will soon wither with this clarification. Anybody here made some money with the sudden BSV pump?
