TL;DR
Full Story
Remember that kid from school that would always talk a big game?
At our primary school — it was Jarred.
One time in the 5th grade, Jarred had a moment of honest vulnerability and admitted to our group of friends:
“Guys, I gotta come clean…I didn’t win gold at the 1996 olympics — hell, I’ve never even been to Atlanta.”
To which we all responded “Yeah dude, no sh*t. We all did the math the moment you said it — you would’ve been 6 years old at the time.”
‘The Jarred’ of the Bitcoin world is a dude known as Craig Wright, who has long claimed to be the pseudonymous creator of BTC, Satoshi Nakamoto.
The moment the words left his mouth, the entire Bitcoin community collectively cried ‘buuuuull sh*****t!’
…but Craig stuck to his claim.
Now, there’s one thing Craig could do to prove himself right (accidental pun, leaving it in), and that would be to sign or send a transaction from one of Satoshi’s known Bitcoin wallets.
(But waddya know — Craig claims he lost the password).
Now — what’s the next best thing other than the real Satoshi revealing themselves, just to put Craig in his place?
A court of law officially ruling that Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto and did not author the Bitcoin whitepaper.
And that’s exactly what just happened in the UK!
What a great way to start the weekend 🙂
