How the Discord Started
Craig’s attack on Hodlonaut, a cryptocurrency analyst on Twitter and some others fueled the decision of Binance to delist BSV. However, the exchange did not mention the twitter issues among the reasons it decided to delist BSV.
Binance afterward, went to Twitter to call Craig Wright a fraud, saying “the real Satoshi can digitally sign any message to prove it,” and that doing so would be simple.
At the time Wright forwarded a desist letter to Peter McCormack, who has been afore calling Craig Wright a fraud.
Other exchanges like ShapeShift, Kraken, SBI VC, and many others delisted the digital currency.
Copyright Application Filed. Will Craig Finally Become Satoshi Nakamoto?
Craig Filed a copyright application with the U.S Copyright to claim the authorship of Bitcoin Codes and Whitepaper, thereby giving him the opportunity to be called pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto.
However, Coingeek published that US Copyright had recognised Craig Wright as the real Satoshi Nakamoto. The information was later confirmed to be false by the US Copyright Office, who claimed Craig only filed an application and has not been confirmed to be the author of the Bitcoin code and whitepaper.
