Craig Wright, the real and fake Satoshi Nakamoto

Today I saw that Anan launched the BSV perpetual contract. Let’s talk about Craig Wright, the founder of BSV. Craig Stephen White was born in Australia in 1970. He is a computer scientist, businessman, and the real person behind the pseudonym of Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto. So he is nicknamed Satoshi Aoben by everyone!

On May 2, 2016, White himself publicly revealed that he was the founder of Bitcoin. This statement was confirmed in a blog post by Jon Matonis, the founding director of the Bitcoin Foundation [17], which stated that “the cryptographic evidence I have shows that Craig used the code from # The newly generated coins in areas 1 and 9 signed and authenticated a message (the first transaction to Hal Finney)." But it was later pointed out that White only included the signature from a famous Bitcoin transaction The data was copied directly, and all transaction information of Bitcoin (especially digital signatures) is completely public. Anyone can copy and paste a digital signature that is already public, so there is no way to prove it. It's Satoshi Nakamoto. The most critical proof is the remittance of Bitcoin to the first Bitcoin transaction address in 2009. This address was considered to be owned by Satoshi Nakamoto and required a remittance. The BBC reporter remitted 0.017 Bitcoins, but in the end there was no remittance. Later, Craig announced that he would give up proving that he was Satoshi Nakamoto.

At a conference in 2018, White was invited to give a speech, but V God criticized him on the spot and called him a liar. On August 26, 2019, White was suspected of forging a contract to transfer Dave Kleiman’s assets and company to himself[21]. The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida ruled that White must surrender 50% of the Bitcoins he held. and related intellectual property rights to Dave Kleiman’s survivors.

In 2018, White began to fork Bitcoin Cash BCH, giving birth to BSV. Its name "SV" stands for "Satoshi Vision", which means that its vision is to restore and realize the original design concept of Bitcoin, that is, as a A peer-to-peer electronic cash system. BSV has some differences from other Bitcoin forks, such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH), including block size, protocol rules, and vision.Supporters of BSV argue that it is the true successor to Bitcoin, while others believe otherwise.

As soon as BSV was born, it was questioned and resisted by people in the industry. In 2019, it was collectively delisted and boycotted by exchanges such as Binance and CB. The delisting of BSV also caused the currency price to plummet, with the drop reaching 50% that day. Since then, BSV has also stepped down from the altar. In the subsequent community, BSV still has a group of fanatical fans. This organization was the famous Skull and Bones Society at the time.

Four years have passed, and after a bull and bear cycle, BSV returned to Binance today, and it was directly listed on the contract. Thinking about CZ’s decision back then, it is listed on BSV again today. I don’t know if there are other factors. I can only It is said that BSV may return to its peak! Let's wait and see.
