This Australian Says He and His Dead Friend Invented Bitcoin

A monthlong Gizmodo investigation has uncovered compelling and perplexing new evidence in the search for Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin. According to a cache of documents provided to Gizmodo which were corroborated in interviews, Craig Steven Wright, an Australian businessman based in Sydney, and Dave Kleiman, an American computer forensics expert who died in 2013, were involved in the development of the digital currency.

The Australian businessman Craig Wright has published a blog post in which he claims to be Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto.
Wright shared these claims with three media outlets (the BBC, The Economist, and GQ) along with technical demonstrations designed to prove that he is the person who developed the concepts on which Bitcoin is built. The BBC claims that he has “provided technical proof to back up his claim using coins known to be owned by Bitcoin’s creator.”

If not, they damn well will invent how to spend it all.

Might as well be. Never came back to eat crow after me, Russian and the rest of the Money Board handed his arse to him over Bitcoin. And tried to convince the OT that it was going to topple governments and change banking forever. Oh and that it was a superb investment!

Bitcoin should be abolished.
It has no redeeming social or economic value and only makes it easier for Russian and Chinese hackers to collect on Ransomware.

What is sad is the article(s) make no mention of the years of research both men gave their lives to before the Bit Coin development. The Tin Foil Hat.

I'm pretty sure Craig Wright is a hack and claiming to be the creator simply for attention. There were several discrepancies with his story when it broke 6 months ago.

An entrepreneur invented a clever way to potentially enrich himself and it wasn't about changing society or destroying government barriers after all?
I'm astonished.

This is just like the politicians that want to make encryption illegal. It would literally be making certain math equations illegal. If anything, Bitcoin should be abolished because better cryptocurrencies have been developed.

I was obviously being overly dramatic, but there is no denying the truth in my second statement.
Anyone in IT will say the same.

Claiming it has no redeeming social or economic value is patently false. Did you not read the article I linked?

Only if they are short sighted. Honestly, you sound like a lib that is talking about guns. Or Feinstein talking about encryption. Or the DEA on drugs. Or an SJW on free speech.

Plus, you have to admit, it would be poetic justice to bankrupt the Winklevoss twins.

Well you got me there. I think we can all agree on the Winklevii.

I actually meant the second part of my second statement.
As far as being short-sighted, ask the many people who've been victimized by Ransomware and how they've had to pay (Bitcoin).
Bitcoin can EAD.

And ask anyone who has been a victim of a mugging how they had to pay (cash, jewelry). Should we ban those as well? I'd say being mugged is way worse than ransomware.

The only way those two things are similar is that they are both robberies, so yes, we should ban robberies. Comparing a cyber crime to a physical crime makes no sense at all.
Bitcoin allows a level of anonymity that, even in cyberspace, is unparalleled. The fact is that bitcoin has it's highest use for illegal activities. It has been adopted by the criminal element far in excess of any legitimate purpose.

I also see it is up to like $440 today.
Just about time for another "disappearance" of Bitcoin.
