Craig Wright Takes On Bitcoin Core Developers Again

As an analyst with over two decades of experience in the tech industry and a keen interest in blockchain technology, I find myself once again observing the enigmatic figure that is Dr. Craig Wright, who continues to make waves in the Bitcoin community with his latest legal claim against Bitcoin Core developers and Square Up Europe Ltd.


Without setting a precedent, Australian Computer Scientist Dr. Craig Wright recently took a legal action against the team of Bitcoin developers. The action was noticed by BitMEX Research, and according to Caseboard’s legal suit tracker, it was filed on October 10, 2024.

The New Claim From Craig Wright

According to information from Caseboard, Craig Wright seems to assert that he has a business partnership with Bitcoin Core and Square Up Europe Ltd, although the specifics of this claim are unclear. The claim appears to rest on some kind of agreement or connection between the named parties.

According to BitMEX Research, it’s unclear what the person pretending to be Satoshi Nakamoto intends to accomplish with his recent legal action. However, BitMEX Research emphasized that this individual is not allowed to reclaim the Satoshi identity.

The positioning here stems from a straightforward fact: Craig Wright (CSW) cannot contradict the judgement made in the main identity case this year, which determined that he is not the inventor of Bitcoin. Following years of court disputes, a UK court has officially declared that someone else is the creator of Bitcoin. This decision concluded a prolonged legal dispute that placed Craig Wright at the center of Bitcoin’s innovative developments.

After the verdict, the court also requested him to openly confirm that his Satoshi assertions were false. At present, there’s uncertainty about the main dispute, which has sparked numerous queries within the community.

For instance, many people were curious about where he submitted his lawsuit and if he intended to act as his own lawyer. Offering some insight, BitMEX Research pointed out that he might not be required to appear in court. Nevertheless, it is still possible that Craig Wright could be compelled to represent himself.

Who Created Bitcoin: The Satoshi Nakamoto Quest

Over the last ten years, one of the most intriguing unsolved questions has been: Who invented Bitcoin? Although Craig Wright has been disproven as Satoshi Nakamoto, HBO aimed to solve this mystery and reveal the true inventor of Bitcoin.

Eagerly awaited by many, HBO announced that Peter Todd was identified as the possible creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. The speculation stemmed from Todd’s background in cryptography and his open discussions about the topic. Nevertheless, Todd himself refuted these claims on social media platforms.

Prior to the revelation of the Peter Todd identity, wagerers on Polymarket had placed bets on Len Sassaman as the secretive originator of Bitcoin. Yet, these assumptions have since been disproven, adding to the perplexity within the ecosystem as the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto remains elusive.
