<p>Well, well, well, if it isn’t what we’ve all always known. Craig Wright is NOT Satoshi Nakamoto. It’s been legally declared. Slicing through the thick fog of claims and counterclaims like a hot knife through butter, UK Judge James Mellor has delivered a ruling that essentially throws cold water on Wright’s long-standing assertion. His annoying crusade to be recognized as the father of Bitcoin is finally coming to an end. And I, for one, couldn’t be more excited about it. This came after the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) took Wright to court, tired of his claims and seeking a legal muzzle to keep him from further proclaiming himself as Nakamoto over and over again.<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/craig-wright-not-satoshi-nakamoto" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank"> </a></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="the-battle-lines-were-drawn">The Battle Lines Were Drawn</h2>
<p>The showdown reached its climax on March 12 in London, where the legal teams locked horns over the truth of Wright’s identity as Satoshi. COPA, a coalition formed by the who’s who of the crypto industry, including giants like <a href="https://www.cryptopolitan.com/coinbase-appeals-sec-rulemaking-denial/" data-type="post" data-id="482908" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Coinbase</a>, Block, and Meta, was there to defend the integrity of the crypto community. They were on a mission to challenge Wright’s claims and to secure the open, collaborative spirit of cryptocurrency innovation.</p>
<p>Wright’s approach to proving his identity was as ridiculous as it was bogus. Accusations of extensive document forgery have been thrown his way, showing a man willing to craft an elaborate historical narrative, complete with fabricated evidence, to back his claim that no one was going to believe anyway. Did he even think that all the way through? I wonder.</p>
<p>Despite the mounting skepticism, Wright shamelessly dug his heels in, offering an olive branch in the form of an out-of-court settlement on January 24. COPA, however, was not in a forgiving mood, choosing instead to let the courts decide. Their opinion was that the truth of Wright’s claim needed to be scrutinized under the legal microscope, not settled in quiet corners.</p>
<p>The COPA alliance is no minor league player. Founded in 2020 with the ambitious goal of tearing down the patent walls stifling crypto innovation, its ranks are filled with 33 of the crypto industry’s most influential entities.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="a-web-of-legal-wrangles">A Web of Legal Wrangles</h2>
<p>Wright’s legal entanglements extend beyond the courtroom drama with COPA. In another ridiculously bold move, he sued 13 of Bitcoin’s core developers and several cornerstone companies within the crypto industry, alleging copyright infringement over the Bitcoin white paper and the digital architecture of the Bitcoin blockchain itself. My mans literally declared war on the very principles of open-source development that underpins the cryptocurrency movement. And he never stood a chance.</p>
<p>The response from the Bitcoin Legal Defense Fund was swift and scathing, condemning Wright’s actions as part of a bigger pattern of sinister litigation designed to intimidate and exhaust those dedicated to Bitcoin’s development.</p>
<p>In a twist of irony though, Wright’s claim to the Bitcoin white paper and code came to a head with a court injunction aimed at preventing further copyright claims on his part. The Bitcoin white paper, a legendary piece document that has achieved almost mythic status, falls under an MIT open-source license, emphasizing the ethos of free use and modification that is antithetical to Wright’s actions.</p>
<p>As this chapter closes with Judge Mellor’s ruling, the crypto community is left to ponder the implications of this legal battle. The fight over Nakamoto’s true identity may have been settled in court for now, but the larger war over the soul of cryptocurrency innovation rages on. Wright’s assertions and the subsequent legal battle now leads us to the question: how do we balance the drive for individual recognition with the need for communal progress and transparency?</p>

Craig Wright is NOT Satoshi Nakamoto – Is anyone surprised?
