Wright is worse than a bad joke, he is nothing but an embarrassment to the human race and should be treated as such.
his claim has not merit.
I am glad that there are at least a few issues out there of which we are all in agreement upon.
One thing that we also have to admit is Craig is a masterful liar for being able to keep the ruse going this long. Of course, for many of us, the ruse was over by 2016, yet the fact that it remains an economically viable one is a testament to Craig's ability to tell a compelling tall tale.
I just got done reading his entire blog post and it seems like he wants to redefine Bitcoin to give him complete control over its every aspect, which is of course, the antithesis of what Bitcoin was originally about. For example, from
Craig's blog:
People need to move away from the concept of “Bitcoin is decentralised” as a political goal. The registry is distributed, but the property rights remain mine (through trusts and companies I created and the structure I set up to enforce such rules).
From Satoshi's introductory post on the
P2P Foundation forum:
It's completely decentralized, with no central server or trusted parties, because everything is based on crypto proof instead of trust.
In addition to the stupid database ownership claims, he also attempts to:
- redefine the definition of nodes as meaning only miners
- claim that all 21 million bitcoin had been minted they were mined
- redefine the role of a miner as being a contractor under his employment (more or less)
- claim that all forks need his permission in order to operate
Of course this is all bullshit. Not only that, but it rests on the idea that he is Satoshi. Since he's clearly not Satoshi, his entire blog post is a moot point.
