Regardless of the outcome of the COPA v. Wright trial, Joshua Henslee believes BSV will live on, telling TODO Bitcoin that the counterculture nowadays cares less about patents, cases, and lawsuits.
The Jack Dorsey-led Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) will appear in court in London to try and convince a judge that Dr. Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonym behind the invention of Bitcoin.
The days of U.S. tech bullying the ‘little guys’ around the globe may be numbered, at least in the EU and U.K., where new laws are being introduced to prevent them from abusing their dominant positions.

The COPA v Wright trial may end in various ways but would likely favor Dr. Craig Wright, who bravely puts his reputation at stake to uphold the original Bitcoin, while the opposition acts to discredit him.
The case of Bitcoin’s original design exemplifies decentralisation because its development, maintenance, and decision-making processes involve a broad and distributed network of independent developers, miners, and users.
While proving his identity as Bitcoin creator is vital in the upcoming COPA trial, Dr. Craig Wright clarified that the focal point of this legal battle is to fight to maintain Bitcoin's integrity.
Dr. Craig Wright has issued a public, non-negotiable offer to settle the COPA case, his passing off claims against Coinbase and Kraken, and his database rights claim against BTC Core.
COPA has a chance to win the case if it can provide a convincing negative proof that would invalidate Dr. Wright's identity claim, which would be impossible to find if he is Satoshi Nakamoto.

As Bitcoin evolves, it is crucial that we reflect on its initial vision—an open financial system where each participant has an equal opportunity to be a user and even to attempt to compete for blocks.
