Swiss MoneyMuseum deletes ‘outdated’ Craig Wright Bitcoin claims

The Zurich MoneyMuseum has removed references implying Craig Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, calling them outdated and aggravating for some readers. The Swiss museum’s founder, former Dow Banking Corporation manager Jürg R. Conzett, wrote an essay (archived in 2021) on the journey of money since the Middle Ages and its impacts on wider society. However, Bitcoin proponent @bitnorbert posted on August 1, 2024, that the MoneyMuseum removed a body of text implying Wright was Nakamoto before removing a further reference to Wright’s book, Satoshi’s Vision: The Art of Bitcoin , last weekend. The latest essay revision (left). The original essay text (right), shared by @bitnorbert. Speaking to Protos, Conzett said the wording of the Satoshi Vision segment was removed “because it is outdated news and seemed to aggravate some readers, for whatever reason.” He stressed, “ We never supported Craig Wright in any venture .” Conzett originally wrote...

Court to sentence Craig Wright for lying about being Satoshi

London’s High Court of Justice, arguably the world’s most powerful copyright court, has reconvened to sentence Craig Wright for his false, perjurious claims to have written Bitcoin’s whitepaper as its creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. The courtroom was packed to hear final arguments from lawyers representing the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA), which represents Bitcoin developers and companies. Today’s arguments aren’t about whether Wright lied — he did — but merely the punishment Wright should receive. COPA lead attorney Jonathan Hough is obviously asking for a court injunction barring Wright from making any claim in a public forum about being Satoshi Nakamoto. The alliance also wants the court to categorically deny any remaining Legal avenues for Wright to appeal the ruling. Hough: Wright has lied about having invented bitcoin. [shows docs about various lawsuits] Has made threats. Campaign has had chilling effects on development and community members. Massive l...

COPA v. Craig Wright nears final ruling on Bitcoin’s whitepaper

The biggest trial of Craig Wright’s life, the self-proclaimed creator of Bitcoin, is less than two weeks from its conclusion. On Friday, the eccentric computer scientist testified for the final time in an attempt to convince a judge that he wrote Bitcoin’s whitepaper as Satoshi Nakamoto. Wright is defending against well-capitalized plaintiffs, the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA), and is fighting for his right to sue Bitcoin developers and influencers for using what he believes to be his intellectual property. Wright and his ultrawealthy colleague Calvin Ayre are a litigious duo whose careers have focused on intellectual property. In courts across the globe, they believe that they are defending the real bitcoin, a hard fork called BSV, against the far more valuable and widely adopted BTC. Unfortunately, the trial, which is taking place in London’s High Court of Justice, the most powerful copyright court in the world, hasn’t improved investors’ sentiment toward BSV. Since the...

Craig Wright pulls mystery box, calls Satoshi ‘he’ during COPA trial

Summary: Craig Wright claimed his wife found a box of old papers over the weekend. He might attempt to submit the papers as last-minute evidence, although his suspiciously belated discovery is likely to be denied inclusion by the judge. When asked about his work on the original Bitcoin code, Wright accused Craig Maxwell of hacking his servers, and Adam Back of violating laws related to financial services. Wright said Back failed to submit emails from 2009 in which he apparently disparaged Bitcoin. Wright claimed he chose to retire the Satoshi Nakamoto pseudonym due to difficulties with the Australian Tax Office, a pending divorce, and his attempts to rebuild his other companies. The trial of COPA v. Craig Wright continued on Monday for its sixth day in the UK High Court of Justice. The Crypto Open Patent Alliance ( COPA ) is a pro-BTC group seeking an injunction against Wright, a contentious pro-BSV advocate who believes himself to be Bitcoin’s creator. COPA wants to ban Wr...
