Court Dismisses Craig Wright's Appeal: Not Satoshi Nakamoto, Says UK Court of Appeal

The crypto industry is no stranger to mystery, intrigue, and explosive revelations. Among these mysteries, the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the unknown creator of Bitcoin, has remained a topic of heated debate for years.

Recent statements from John Deaton, a prominent crypto attorney, have shone a new light on the infamous narrative surrounding Craig S. Wright (CSW) and his assertions of being the legendary Satoshi.

True or untrue? Let’s read on.

Deaton’s Observations

John Deaton revealed that when he first encountered Bitcoin in 2016, he, like countless others, was drawn into the challenge of unmasking the real Satoshi Nakamoto. Names like Nick Szabo, Adam Back, David Schwartz, and Jed McCaleb all found their way onto his list of potential Nakamoto candidates. However, CSW’s inclusion in this list raised many eyebrows.

While Deaton noted that he hadn’t interacted much with CSW (to the point where CSW even blocked him on social media), he did provide some insights into why he believed the computer scientist might have had an early connection to Bitcoin.

Mysterious Claim by CSW

One particular video clip stood out in Deaton’s mind. In this clip, CSW was questioned about his initial involvement with Bitcoin. With a sly grin, Wright asserted that he had joined the Bitcoin movement before it held any significant monetary value.

CSW’s Influence Is Worth Noting!

It’s impossible to downplay the impact CSW has had on prominent figures in the crypto space. CSW’s narrative has at times convinced even well-known personalities like Gavin Andresen, Roger Ver, and Calvin Ayre. The magnetic allure of CSW’s claims seems undeniable.

Despite his compelling influence, Deaton held skepticism, particularly about CSW possessing the mythical Satoshi’s keys. He pointed to CSW’s unpredictable behavior, speculating that if he indeed held the keys, he might have sold the Bitcoins, causing significant market turbulence.

Calvin Ayre’s Bombshell Revelations

Adding fuel to the fire, a recent post by Christen Ager-Hanssen unveiled communication between Calvin Ayre and CSW. The contents? Allegations of threats made by CSW against Ayre. This revelation undoubtedly adds another layer of drama to this interesting story!

We want to hear from you! Do you think CSW is the real Satoshi Nakamoto?
