This is Comedy Gold!!!. I don't believed that CSW will go to an extend and cry in the court. But it's too late I guess, the public sentiments won't sway on this favour. So let the drama goes and see what the court says.

[peter0425]

Very interesting that Craig Wright admitted that he is Satoshi in front of the judge and then burst into tears? What's with that? It is being his supposedly invention was being taken advantage of? Really? Just Wow.

That guy filming chose the wrong side. He wished good luck to CSW and faketoshi kept on going and ignoring. When people say hi to me I talk back and if they wished him good luck the least he could do was nod. If you didn't spot an asshole in that video just by looking at those short pants and red socks you had to easily do it by watching the moves.

There's something repulsive about this person in all he does in the way he speaks and the way he carries himself.

Somebody found this gem from Wright's old Twitter before he shut it down:

1. So Wright's crying was not the "real" him and an act?
2. Why did he choose a gif of a Nazi about to have his head bashed in to identify with?

"Mining - I was the only miner until block 74 or 2 days in"
- https://twitter.com/PJM_Says/status/1144682040979337216

sounds more like hal finneys experience. not satoshi's.. i guess CSW is reading the wrong quotes and forgetting who he is suppose to pretend to be

When Satoshi announced the first release of the software, I grabbed it right away. I think I was the first person besides Satoshi to run bitcoin. I mined block 70-something, and I was the recipient of the first bitcoin transaction, when Satoshi sent ten coins to me as a test. I carried on an email conversation with Satoshi over the next few days, mostly me reporting bugs and him fixing them.


After a few days, bitcoin was running pretty stably, so I left it running. Those were the days when difficulty was 1, and you could find blocks with a CPU, not even a GPU. I mined several blocks over the next days. But I turned it off because it made my computer run hot, and the fan noise bothered me.
