on the crypto
After the defeat reported in court, for Craig Wright, now renamed Faketoshi by detractorsthe troubles seem far from over. After having to accept the verdict that proved Ira Kleiman right, as a result of which the only manager left alive or otherwise available from the Tulip Trust will have to pay the winner about half a million Bitcoins (at the current exchange rate an estimated value of around 5 billion dollars), Wright could now be subject to a class action.
Peter McCormack wants to launch a class action against Wright
To air the hypothesis of launching one class action against Craig Wright, for claiming to be just the now legendary Satoshi Nakamoto, and against Calvin Ayre e Jimmy Nguyen, who supported the thesis during the legal dispute, was Peter McCormack, British podcaster and show host "What Bitcoin did". The reason for this class action lies in the fact that Craig Wright has decided to launch BSV (acronym of Bitcoin Satoshi Vision) on a completely deceptive ideological assumption, stating that the new cryptocurrency is the one that reflects the original vision of Nakamoto, although he is not Satoshi at all, as indeed recognized by the verdict of the United States District Court for the southern district of Florida. A circumstance that misleads a large number of people, according to Peter McCormack.
Reactions to the proposal
How was McCormack's proposal received? In a fairly varied way, if you think that if many have declared their support for his initiative, others have branded it as a kind of help to Craig Wright himself, which could thus be seen to offer other notoriety cheap.
Other observers, on the other hand, saw in McCormack's move an additional way to retaliate against Wright himself, with whom a libel case.
A story that seems destined to be discussed again
Those who thought that the final decision on the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto by justice could put an end to the story, seems destined to be contradicted by the facts. Even because other unknowns weigh on history, just like the one linked to impact which could go on to hit in the near future BSV, the virtual uniform launched by Craig Wright and whose mission, at least according to the inventor's statements, was precisely to be able to create a sort of duplicate of Bitcoin capable not only of overcoming its technical problems, in particular those in terms of scalability and stability, but also of to express in a more complete way the original vision of its founder.
The problem posed by the ruling is basically the following: if Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto, who can ensure that BSV was built following its initial intentions and not for the simple purpose of giving life to a simple speculation? As you can easily understand, the judicial sentence may not be the last act of the story, but only a simple stage of the story.
