It’s time to debunk the many myths and misconceptions that surfaced in the wake of last month’s U.K. court ruling that Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto, author of the 2008 Bitcoin white paper and creator of the original Bitcoin protocol.
YouTuber Crypto Spartacus recently released a video detailing why he thinks Dr. Craig Wright will win COPA v Wright, summarizing what has happened to the case so far.
In this article, sCrypt shares how Proof of Work (PoW) works in Bitcoin, explaining that its core process involves finding a hash below a target value set by the network.
Through three weeks of COPA v Wright, one factor has hovered over the proceedings like a phantom: hundreds of documents submitted into evidence which the COPA says were forged by Dr. Craig Wright.
While several arguments question Dr. Wright's identity, the fact that he knows so much about Bitcoin and its intricacies could make one question if he was indeed the Bitcoin inventor.
The third week of COPA v Wright saw individual COPA members put on the stand in front of Justice Mellor. This was Mellor’s first chance to see the true extent of the circus that has dedicated itself to attack Dr. Craig Wright and his status as the inventor of Bitcoin.
Viewers of the Satoshi Trial (COPA v Wright) may be focused on the answers given by witnesses on the stand, but oftentimes, queries by the judge could be a critical piece that could help unravel the truth.
Speculations arose when Meta decided to drop out of COPA quietly, but even member of the alliance, Steven Lee, could not give a concrete answer behind the reason when grilled during the Satoshi trial.
COPA may provide proof that could strike down claims that Dr. Craig Wright created Bitcoin, but what could prove this is an expert on the protocol—Satoshi himself—but the court won't allow him to do so.
The COPA v. Wright trial is more than just a fight revolving around the real identity of Dr. Craig Wright as Satoshi Nakamoto, but it also sheds light on how essential digital identities are.
A number of witnesses took the stand for Dr. Craig Wright in London’s COPA v Wright trial, telling the court in various ways that their experience with Dr. Wright before the public release of the Bitcoin White Paper makes him a likely candidate to be Satoshi Nakamoto.
By the end of the first week of London’s COPA v Wright trial, it had become clear that Hough KC and COPA were left with a fatal conundrum: what do you put to the man who knows everything?
