I am just wondering, though, whether Ethereum founder meant Craig Wright a fraud or Bitcoin a fraud? Or does his statement connote both? Nevertheless, I think these accusations are baseless and are purely matters of business strategy.
Baseless? You must be new.
Vitalik Buterin has been around for a long time, and I know him well enough to know that he doesn't consider Bitcoin and Ethereum to be competitors.
Craig Wright is a fraud. That is a fact. So, I agree with Vitalik. Why did the conference have such a person as a speaker? It only makes Bitcoin and the entire crypto space look bad.
He is in the conference because it is necessary to create a narrative different from the current one. It is necessary that someone can determine which way to go, and this path must be in agreement with the main sponsors of this fraud and these conferences.
For me the reason for him not being Satoshi is much simpler and less technical than any other. Everyone, absolutely everyone who exchanged direct messages with Satoshi always said they believed he was a very young and very shy person.
