Useless topic.. People are not anymore interested in knowing who Mr. Nakamoto is, instead they just want to earn bitcoin.

Mr.Wright was making false claim about being Mr. Nakamoto. I wonder if Mr. Nakamoto really exists or he is just a figment of imagination of the mastermind of bitcoin.

Anyway, there's no use running behind a myth.

How about a blurb on wtf "the bitcoinrat" is? I have never heard of such a thing.
Me neither. Apparently it is some sort of slang term I am not familiar with. Anyone care to explain?
Also - about that part that bitcoin world was 'shaken to the core' - is not true at all. We simply don't believe in unproven facts.
And it is really easy to show the world that he is, indeed Satoshi - sign a message - simple as that.

This article has been submitted by someone claiming to be representing the Bitcoin Rat from twitter. However we are unable to fully verify the authenticity of the signature or the provenance of the private key being used, as we have not been allowed to keep the original message or laptop.

– BEGINS –
In a bizarre twist to the “I am Satoshi” story, Australian businessman Dr. Craig Wright has apparently now retracted his claim to be bitcoin’s creator and has instead publicly identified himself as The Original Bitcoin Rat. According to Fox News this has shaken the bitcoin world to the ‘Core’.

Followers of the official @BitcoinRat twitter account have described the claim as astonishing, and pointed out that the evidence so far presented is far from convincing.

Dr. Wright introduced his claim using a pre-loaded screenshot from his own laptop showing one of the global travelling Rats from the #bitworldtour twitter hashtag, wearing a sun hat with corks around the rim.
Dr. Wright claims that this proves conclusively that the @BitcoinRat originally came from Australia




 

As further evidence, he referred to an official tweet last Monday by the BBC’s Rory Cellan-Jones which stated that Dr. Wright had a little rat peeping out of his trouser pocket all the way through their recent dramatic TV interview. Which might explain why Wrights on-screen performance looked troubling. However, strangely all traces of that particular BBC tweet seem to have now disappeared, which have led some to speculate that the BBC’s twitter account was in fact hacked into, or that the story is just a clever fabrication on Dr. Wright’s behalf to cover up his on-going trouser problems.

Digital experts have also cast doubts on the authenticity of Wrights Australian cork hat picture. “It looks like a classic photo-shop cut and paste sting to me” said a spokesman for the CIA, who wished only to be known as ‘Gavin’*

However, in another twist Australian bitcoin documentary maker and reporter @MADinMelbourne confirmed that a bitcoin rat she once was looking after had mysteriously disappeared after someone she now believes to be Dr. Wright bumped into her in a Melbourne coffee shop some months ago. “It did seem strange at the time” she said, “especially as he didn’t even bloody stop and say sorry” she continued “I’m sure it was Dr. Wright as the whole coffee shop was full of plain clothes Tax Inspectors that morning”.

So, it is clear that there was a bitcoin rat in Australia, but was it The Original Bitcoin Rat? That is the key question facing the whole bitcoin community according to virtually all of the main street media outlets this week. Only the Economist Magazine has raised doubts on Dr. Wrights latest claim.




 

So far, neither Dr. Craig Wright nor the original @BitcoinRat has returned journalists calls asking for an interview. But a spokesman for @BitcoinRat said he wasn’t interested in fame or money and just wanted to be left alone, as only bitcoin and cheese can now save Mankind.
