Bitcoin is breaking the law and will be sued by Craig Wright

[bbc.reporter]

I am shaking my head. This person is one of the most annoying people that I have seen in the cryptospace. Is he paid to do this? Who is paying him?

He also said that the lightning network users are thieves hehehe. He is clearly only paid to annoy everyone.



One of Wright’s most mind numbing posts is essentially about how Wright is going to sue Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) for changing the underlying protocol.

Essentially, Wright says that under the MIT license Bitcoin (BTC) was created with, people are allowed to fork the protocol, but they are not allowed to change the underlying protocol and claim that it is the original. Wright says the underlying protocol and registry of Bitcoin (BTC) is his intellectual property.

Wright goes on to specifically mention that Bitcoin (BTC) has violated the Database Regulations law of 1997 and the Computer Misuse Act of 1990. Also, Wright says SegWit is the breaking point where Bitcoin (BTC) began to break the law.

Apparently Wright did not get the memo, despite claiming to be Satoshi, that Bitcoin (BTC) is decentralized and cannot be sued out of existence. In general, his article about this is filled with hate, rage, and veiled threats, but does not seem to hold any water, since Bitcoin (BTC) cannot be sued.

i never knew bitcoin was a person...

Is he paid to do this? Who is paying him?

he isn't paid, he is making money by scamming people among other things. not to mention his shitcoin pump and dump.

it seems like he has no understanding of MIT license!

in short: desperation as time goes by and he starts being forgotten and becoming more and more irrelevant, he will make more outrageous claims to provoke people to keep talking about him nonstop.

[dothebeats]

The dude certainly has some screws loose on his head, as this guy plans to sue bitcoin! This will only add up to the growing outrageous claims of this man to stay relevant in the scene. No one in the crypto space ever takes him seriously now as everyone already know that this guy is nuts. This guy will go down as one of the craziest nut jobs to ever appear in the history of bitcoin, and that in itself is not even a gracious title to be had.

Certainly trying to just provoke as many people as possible to keep his name relevant. Not that he's paid or anything, but it could also be the case.

And it's amazing why the law itself do not punish the main developers pushing for these updates. Ironic, isn't it? This guy will site a few clauses of some law and religiously preach about it, telling everyone that X law has been broken by bitcoin and they are abusing my intellectual property.

Let him live in his delusional castle. The world will just laugh at him anyway.

[davis196]

He has never proven that he is the the creator of the Bitcoin Code,so he can't sue anyone.
CJW just lost a possibility to get some easy money.That's why he is so pissed off.
He is one of those people who want to make lots of easy money out of lawsuits,but he doesn't have great lawyers and he can't find a way to "sue Bitcoin". There should be a special term about such people.
I should call them "lawsuit whores"

I laugh long reading this. I think he dreamed of becoming a bitcoin artist. Give a Bitcoin whitepaper, let him read it and understand it. If he is still stubborn, leave it as he pleases. Or do you have any other suggestions? 

[josephsonand]

It seems that they have already begun to forget about him, so he decided to remind himself of himself in such a provocative way.

Man, this shit got me hard lol.

Is he a celebrity? He always keep coming in media. Nonetheless, business in media what gets eyeballs, and eyeball brings dollars, so he might be doing extraordinary stuff for this? Well, kinda obvious but I never thought of risking my dignity just to sound exceptional then make dollars.

Won't be surprised that may be next few weeks or months he has something to bring up already again. He's way worse than what I thought of him in the past.

[fiulpro]

That is an interesting turn of events considering this was the man who tried to be
  SATOSHI
Then he tried to create something of his own and named it
 THE ORIGINAL BITCOIN
Then the went to the court again , to get ownership of
HIS DEAD FRIEND'S BTC
Then he again went to the court because of the reason 1.
Now he wants to destroy Bitcoins because he is not in the right mind.
He is CRAZY

Let me highlight the most important part:

without restriction

I do get why every brainfart coming out of this guy gets published on websites: they love drama and thus publicity for their own unimportant little website. But I don't get why this has to be posted on Bitcointalk every time again.
This guy has made so many people lose their coins on the wrong chain by pretending his Forkcoin is the real Bitcoin.
Stop giving him attention!

[Darker45]

The man is never ran out of antics. He always has something up his sleeve to surprise and entertain us.

I guess we should just appreciate his efforts. It is not easy to be a clown, you know, just to cheer people up.

This man is really amusing. His mind is one of a kind.

I guess the joke's on us if we let him get on our nerves.

[Jating]

Aren't we are all tired of his shit-show? And now he comes up with another one of his 'grabbing the headlines' antics to bring some publicity to him again. I think people need to stop paying attention to this person because obviously, he is a pathological liar.

Sue bitcoin? WTF is that, is he gonna sue his supposedly own bitcoin? 

He has been caught lying already, and every time he open his mouth, people are going to be like laughing and then hating him.

[LogitechMouse]

I thought that his craziness is over already when he went to the court to prove that he is Satoshi. Yes he prove something - not Satoshi but Faketoshi or Wright-oshit .

Now he created a more crazier move. I'm done with his stupidity already . How can he sue Bitcoin.

I know that he is an attention-seeker but I don't see that he is gaining some audiences with what he is doing. Stupid Wrightoshit. He did this because he can't prove himself that he is Satoshi so he just sue Bitcoin which is the most stupid move that I known. Haters will hate this stupid living creature.

[rosezionjohn]

The struggle for relevance is real. Plenty of time in his hands due to the pandemic. Let's see if he actually follows up on filing a case. I would like to see that happen.

[kryptqnick]

I am no lawyer but I'm pretty sure you cannot sue something like Bitcoin. You can sue a natural or legal person but it seems to me that Bitcoin is none. In the latter, the entity should be officially registered and there must be someone that can be held responsible. Since Bitcoin is decentralized but Craig claims he is the creator, how about he sues himself for breaking the law, lol? 'Cause I don't see any other option he can have. Oh, and speaking of him claiming to be Satoshi, what's with that Tulip Trust stuff? He's obliged to pay half of the money to Kleiman's family, and since he clearly did not, I don't understand why this guy is not in prison for fabricating data/robbing best friend/being an impostor? How comes he's still doing just fine, spreading his lies?

[vycl87]

I have read dozens of people talking about Bitcoin seriously. Among them, there are those who do not like BTC, as well as those who do not. I can understand that everyone's opinion is naturally different from the other. But I haven't been able to understand for a long time what Craig S. Wright has been seeing. Is there anyone who can understand his purpose? A totally unnecessary person. Be sure, I think there is such a pointless person that is not worth talking about here. I think he wants to be talking about here.

[Viscore]

He will sue satoshi, good idea.. 

This guy is always a clown, every article about him is almost funny so even if he might be saying some interesting words, I'd prefer not to listen to him as I don't want to be a fork lover, his BSV will be gone soon, it will not survive in this market.

[Wexnident]

I guess he'll have to talk to a bunch of 0's and 1's as well as asking for IT personnel to preside over the court case he would do. This is basically close to a delusion. One guy on his own dreamland fighting off imaginary people he set as such. You can't even get angry at the guy. You almost always face him off with a helpless attitude, thinking what the hell is even going on in this guy's brain. Can't even get angry off of it cause his ramblings can be compared to the ramblings of a 5-6-year-old child somewhere.

This was real amusing ngl. The guy claiming to be Satoshi first and foremost doesn't even know what an MIT license means/holds.

[sunsilk]

He failed to make-believe people that he's satoshi. And then he'll sue bitcoin? what is the next joke he'll say?

Attention seeker, as usual, let's give ourselves a break and stop discussing things related to his useless words.

[skiorf]

This man is not paid to do this annoying thing. He makes a sensation that will be very useful for him, more talked about people who will make him more known. Many claims have been made.

Many people have started to be profiled by it. An advantage to advertise his shitcoin to stay alive.
All the claims he made could not be proven by valid data.

Craig Wright can't keep his own words because it is full of foolishness. What do you expect on a person who manipulate and deceive other people for his own benefit? he keeps on claiming that he's the person behind the pseudonym Satoshi. He's not running out of ideas to catch people's attention, so it's better to focus on much more important things than a person who contradicted his own claims.
