I don't want to hear his name anymore, if he is proven to have deceived the public by claiming to be Satoshi, then he must accept the risk, he can get a criminal sentence.

finally, it will attract crypto user responses to punish him as a crime.

Here a very well written article about Craigh Wright, worth reading:

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/op-ed-how-many-wrongs-make-wright/

About his purpose, it's blantantly to make more money (and maybe feeding some personality traits), but the end of the game will come and will be a jail sentence. I hope asap.

And reading today, US Copyright Office does not recognize Wright as Satoshi after all. I hope they will not grant approval to his filing. Wright is a fraud in the making. He doesn't care about the truth but the money that he will generate from all this fiasco.

STOP SNITCHIN'
PR hype so more people buy into BSV.

That's my guess, too.

The tulip trust story further creates a narrative where presumably Craig Wright will sell the BTC (and buy BSV) once the trust is released. That will probably dupe people into buying BSV for some time to come.

US copyright is only valid in the US, so the rest of the world could care less.

That's not entirely true. Lots of other countries comply with US copyright requests because they are member states of the World Intellectual Property Organization, an agency of the UN. There are 192 member states who have signed WIPO treaties that enforce copyright law internationally. This is why websites in many foreign countries regularly respond to DMCA takedown requests despite the DMCA being a US law.

None of this matters, though, because the source code was distributed by Satoshi under a free software license. He doesn't have any rights or means to extract rent. Even if a copyright registration granted those rights, he would be vigorously fought in court regarding the copyright ownership and I strongly believe he would lose.

the end game has always been to make more money and people like Craig Wright are choosing to scam others to make their money. their scam doesn't end at bitcoin either, we are just seeing the bitcoin part of it because we are involved in that and the online drama reaches us, otherwise his scam runs deeper.
the place of such people is eventually behind bars.

I can't see what he hopes to gain from all this, except publicity.

I used to ponder this same question. If it's an elaborate con -- perhaps having to do with his tax evasion case with Australia -- then it doesn't outwardly make sense. But maybe we don't have all the details? At this point, I think it really is all about the publicity and the guy has psychological issues. I think he's a megalomaniac and is seeking out ways to inflate his sense of social importance by injecting himself into the media any way he can. Maybe he is heavily invested in BSV and thinks this sort of notoriety is good for the price. That's one alternative explanation.

I see something wrong with Craig Wright but he is good in hiding his real persona with all the drama that he is getting into. He claimed to be the real Satoshi Nakamoto yet he can't move the very valuable bitcoin he should have by claiming that he had already forgotten the details. Oh well, he must be the most entertaining JOKER the world of cryptocurrency has produced so far. Amazingly, he has some supporters too and in the process they can be making good money...that is what you get when you know how to play with the media.

Clueless!
I'm still wondering why he had to go through all this, and just do the easiest thing and this is my signing one of the addresses associated with Nakamoto address, or just login in here and interact with us, this will end everything and we will be hailing him as the real Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, now everything is just a publicity stunt to hype his coin.

Even if he could not sign the private key and it was all 'development BTC was put into a 'tulip trust' because he was part of the 'supposed' Hal Finney and Dave Kleiman 'Satoshi Group', in

which they have both passed and he has 'supposed' access to on Jan 1st, 2020. The whole works...all those billions of $$$.

Why all the drama?

Does he expect if this is true that all the shenanigans he has done with copyright and patent accumulation if he can prove by his (supposed) access he has to

these billions of $$$ in BTC that all will be dandy?

Dave Klieman's brother is suing for 1/3 of a billion $$$ on that premise now, due to his actions of the past years, everyone in the Australian Tax Dept is after his ass,

he is a 'laughing stock' at this point in time...etc, etc...and most of the Crypto Community hates his ass, again I just don't get it???

UNLESS by access to this 'tulip trust' (supposedly) after all this copyrights and patents he can then take over BTC by dumping the price to $1,000 by selling massive

amounts and then using his copyrights and patents ...sell the blockchain of bitcoin SV at whatever value it has to the banks as he owns the intellectual property of

bitcoin SV, which would then be at say parity with BTC and BTC cash at say $1,000 due to him dumping all that tulip trust BTC in mass. Privatize the works?

If he can prove he is last man of the Satoshi Group...he can thus make the intellectual property that is open source, now closed source and turn it over to the banks?

Again, seems impossible to me and such...but again, as the thread states, I am completely befuddled on his 'endgame' even if it is all a scam...this duck just don't fly.

Lastly, if he is the last man standing from the Satoshi group and he does have access to this fund on Jan 1st, 2020,

why the hell would you do anything until Jan 1st, 2020? Why not stay anonymous and humble and deny, deny, deny like Hal Finney did, until full access to Tulip Fund?

He could have announced then with NO baggage/opinion by anyone...this would have made him more money by 'shutting up' in the tulip trust bonanza then he has made in the last

3 years with all his manipulation. Just the announcement at say $10k Bitcoin..that 'Satoshi is Found" would have pumped the price up by 1/3 at least, IMHO.

hen do whatever scam he is trying to do with intellectual property and copyrights after the fact you can prove you are last man standing

in the Satoshi Group. (If it exists). Thus having the 'standing' to prove you have access to the Tulip Fund as the 'last man standing' of the Satoshi Group.

If there is the 'real Satoshi' out there alive yet, IMHO, he would have cracked and shown himself at this point in time, just to shut up

FakeSatoshi that is, Craig Wright. Thus, my view now is the 'real' Satoshi has passed away also.

This is just massively depressing, but likely after watching this 'clusterf**k' and all this drama and angst of Craig Wright and his 'supposed wrongs' and ramblings.

Sheesh...

It is just screwy...the hoops you have to jump thru logically to figure this guy out is just plain odd....his 'evil genius' skills suck....his 'scamming skills' are in disarray and even if

he does have access to the 'Tulip Trust' he has pissed away any pump in price should that become known one day, indeed, it would probably tank whatever Bitcoin Price by 1/3

(of any flavor BTC cash, BTC SV or BTC Core). If he does have access to the Tulip Trust.

So again, his 'evil genius skills' suck under any scenario, fiction or factual.

Thus I remain befuddled and flabbergasted...

anyway end of rant

if he converted his bitcoin holdings to his shitcoin. and if his shitcoin reaches a million per instead of btc from fooling enough people, he would be the richest man alive. this is very unlikely, but it's clear what his plans are.

Maybe he is heavily invested in BSV and thinks this sort of notoriety is good for the price. That's one alternative explanation.

Initially I used to think in similar ways but the recent turn of events also turned my thinking process to a different avenue. I can think of some possibilities and please let me know if you have the same feeling.

1. Satoshi was shot dead by US agents and now they are trying to capture the entire cryptospace by awarding copyright to their agent Craig. (Another fellow member already mentioned it)

2. Blockchain will be copyrighted which officially marks the end of the blockchain technology.

3. Craig is an evil (I won't say genius) and has a bigger plan which is yet to be revealed.

Frankly, I can just guess the possibilities, but not sure how the things will turn out!


Or that he really is Satoshi doing a social engneering attack on himself, and by claiming that "he is Satoshi" without providing actual proof, the more everyone reacts in a way that he has always wanted. Not to believe that he's Satoshi.

Satoshi had always made the proper measures to protect his identity.

Is 1) impossible tho? he is educated in computer science, math, and he was in crypto early?

Being 'early' in the game doesn't secure you a spot in the circles of Hal Finney and Satoshi. Also, he may be literate in the field of Computer Science but even Andreas Antonopoulos doubted his capabilities in understanding the intricate technicalities of bitcoin and blockchain during the BCH forks. He's just a con artist at best, and is only doing all of these in order to gain privileges for himself and also profit purposes, obviously.

Copyright or not, bitcoin will never be controlled by a single entity, and if comes up to that, another hardfork might come and therefore render CSW's patent useless. $35 fee for the copyrights is too small a price for a multi-billion dollar industry. Idk what the US had in mind when they approved the application, but I can see that they can use CSW in what ever purpose they may see him fit in the future (hint: a puppet).

but why would a copyright registration help to capture the whole cryptospace or end blockchain technology? the entire space is built around FOSS ethics and free software!

satoshi already distributed the source code under a free software license that allows anyone to freely use/change/distribute it. why does craig wright seem to believe registering a copyright now will change anything?

it's true, he could have bigger plans and we're only scratching the surface. right now, he just looks like a madman to me. Cheesy

no, he is not Satoshi.
no, he had nothing to do with bitcoin in early years or even afterwards apart from maybe buying some after many years
he is simply scamming and so far he is (legally) getting away with his scam although it is one of the most obvious scams! and doing that he is trying to make a lot of money through different ways from his shitcoin BSV to scamming a bunch of companies.
as far as i understood this it not a "patent" but only a "copyright" claim which anybody could make just as easily and have it listed on that .gov website and it doesn't mean anything since it is not even approved. it is just showing such submission (claim) exists.

At this point, given that he is putting his weight legally in the U.S. and the UK, I expect he will be forced at some point to prove he is Satoshi under a court of law and will fail. By then, he may have dumped all of his BSV. It's hard to say what his goal is, but this charade can only continue for so long.

Crazy people sometimes repeat so much a lie that they end up believing it to be true. And believing it to be true, they end up dragging some followers by the passion with which they defend these lies.

Not Satoshi. No Fund. Chaos!
