Bitcoin SV Creator Craig Wright Says He Is Satoshi Nakamoto

The famous Bitcoin SV creator Craig Wright which has always been controversial with his statements and opinions is in the latest cryptocurrency news for linking the alias of the Bitcoin (BTC) creator – Satoshi Nakamoto – saying that that is him.

In a post shared on Medium today, Craig S. Wright made bold claims. The Bitcoin SV creator is obviously angry with the delisting of Bitcoin SV by Binance, Kraken and ShapeShift and decided to “testify” with a blog post in which he stated:

“Many people in the bucket shop, sorry, “crypto currency exchange” industry want to see me gone. […] You’re about to find out why I created bitcoin and yes I am Satoshi Nakamoto.”

This statement, which went viral on some of the best cryptocurrency news sites, was for some a very weak move for Craig Wright to preserve his identity and build authority in the cryptocurrency space. In fact, a lot of people have wished for the Bitcoin SV creator to go away. Despite the successful fork and the Bitcoin SV altcoin, he has constantly made news with his controversial statements.

Despite his presence in the altcoin news because of Bitcoin SV (BSV), Wright is confident that he and his firm are hard at work at patenting different aspects of the blockchain. The general implication is that blockchain besides Bitcoin SV will have to pay to use its technology. As the Bitcoin SV creator noted:

“The distinction is that other systems will need to pay. By the end of this year I hope that we will have around 1,000 patents published. More importantly, the initial patent families should place us in advance of any other player in the industry. You see, we don’t publish straightaway. Others do, but we don’t because that would give away what we’re doing.”

Wright has re-asserted his identity as Satoshi Nakamoto in the post where he declares that Bitcoin is pro-government, anti-money laundering and pro-banks. However, he refutes the notion that Bitcoin was a response to the global financial crisis. As he wrote:

“So, I’m sorry to “burst your little bubble” but bitcoin has nothing to do with the collapse of Lehman Bros nor with the subsequent bailout. Unfortunately, that was badly timed. The reality is bitcoin is not anti-bank, it is not anti-government and in fact it is not even anti-central bank. Most importantly, it can’t be made to be.”
