A UK court will hear the case of Dr. Craig Steven Wright, who claims to be the Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto.
The Australian computer scientist argues that the Bitcoin file format should be protected under UK copyright law. He will now get the chance to make his case before a judge.
Who is Craig Wright?
Dr. Craig Steven Wright is an Australian computer scientist with a storied history of associating with the Satoshi Nakamoto pseudonym.
Speculation that Wrights was the inventor of Bitcoin first started circulating in 2015 following investigations by Wired and Gizmodo. However, shortly after it ran the story, Wired reported that Wright may have faked clues identifying him with Nakamoto.
In the years since then, Wright himself has publicly claimed he wrote the Bitcoin whitepaper with the participation of two other men – Dave Kleiman and Hal Finney.
When asked to weigh in on the matter ChatGPT listed Wright as one of its top three guesses at Nakamoto’s identity. Proffering the statistical likelihood of different candidates being the inventor of Bitcoin, the chatbot said Nick Szabo is the most likely person to be behind Bitcoin, followed by Hal Finney and Craig Wright.

No Proof Without Nakamoto’s PGP Key
While Dr. Wright continues to insist that he played a role in the foundation of Bitcoin, many doubt his claims.
Skeptics point out that the real Satoshi Nakamoto could confirm their identity by providing a message verified with Nakamoto’s PGP key. No public messages verified in this way have appeared since 2010.
