The CIA, BlackRock, or a deceased person. These are the most likely identities of the notoriously reclusive creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, now that Craig Wright's long-standing claims have been utterly demolished in a UK court.
As we noted in a post back in early February, Bitcoin's whitepaper was published anonymously back in 2009 by an individual - or a group of people - under the alias Satoshi Nakamoto, who currently owns between 750,000 BTC and 1.1 million BTC. Since 2011, all attempts to contact Nakamoto have remained in vain, leading to vicious bouts of speculation.
In 2016, Craig Wright, an Australian academic, started claiming that he was the founder of Bitcoin. In 2019, Wright was able to obtain a US copyright for Bitcoin's whitepaper. A subsequent clarification by the US Copyrights Office noted that it does not investigate legal ownership credentials and rather focuses on whether a particular work is eligible for a copyright, adding that all ensuing disputes are usually settled in courts. This then prompted the Crypto Open Patent Association (COPA) to sue Craig Wright in a UK court.
This brings us to the crux of the matter. While a final judgment in this high-profile case will likely take months to materialize, apparently the evidence against Craig Wright was so "overwhelming" that the judge made a series of declarations that utterly demolished Craig Wright's claims to the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto:
COPA issued a statement in the aftermath of the momentous ruling which was brimming with righteous indignation.
These judicial observations have set off a literal troll-fest against Craig Wright and his ill-fated ambitions to claim the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto.
After all, even the most amateur of computer scientists knows what an "unsigned integer" is.
Wright's cultists are not being spared either.
Dr. Wright's predictions vis-a-vis the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) token have yet to pan out.
But the cherry on top rightly belongs to this X post.
The irony behind Craig Wright becoming the only person in the world who is definitively not Satoshi Nakamoto is resonating with quite a

Mid-March, Blizzard revealed 12 new Hero Talent Trees in a sneak peek at the new system coming with the The War Within expansion. Our Frost Death Knight guide writer, khazakdk, offers an early review of the Rider of the Apocalypse Death Knight Hero Talents that provide great class fantasy, but are lacking on the gameplay side.
It’s generally accepted among all and players that bards are the most charismatic characters and master manipulators. They have the ability to cleverly weave words together to persuade or trick others into doing whatever they wish, for better and sometimes worse. However, there is one other class that could give the bard a run for their money when it comes to sheer manipulation, especially in .

The Dragon's Dogma 2 community has been left shaken by the existence of Dragonsplague – a deadly illness introduced in the sequel that can result in entire towns being killed. Left unchecked, the contagious disease – which can be spread game-to-game by hiring infected Pawns – has the potential to result in numerous NPCs, including important quest-givers, being wiped out overnight.
David Gaider, the creator of Dragon Age's setting, has spoken out against the current state of the games industry, and the "fear" developers have of needing to crunch to make enormous games as if it's the only way forward. He believes that "it doesn't have to be that way," but that if it did, "maybe the industry deserves to die."
With lovely strategy RPG Unicorn Overlord being a Vanillaware title, it obviously has a cute little minigame where you scarf down illegally delicious-looking food. It turns out the main artist behind these entreating entrees is also responsible for the way the game upholds another Vanillaware quirk: curiously jiggly women.
Sony’s emulation strategy has been fairly consistent adding Trophies to classic first-party titles, and upcoming PSP port Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier will not buck the trend. The game – technically the last mainline entry in Naughty Dog’s platforming series – first launched in 2009, and mixes traditional adventuring with aerial combat. It’s not a classic by any stretch, but it’s enjoyable enough.
