Judge: I will prepare a fairly long judgement
I have reached the conclusions the evidence is overwhelming
CSW is not the author of the whitepaper
CSW is not satsohi
CSW is not the creator of Bitcoin
CSW did not author the Bitcoin software

"I will make certain declarations which I am satisfied are useful and are necessary to do justice between the parties. First, that Dr Wright is not the author of the Bitcoin White Paper. Second, Dr Wright is not the person who adopted or operated under the pseudonym Satoshi
I love seeing TradFi accounts being like "why did Bitcoin drop $5,000"
And we are like "Dude, it just happens. There is no reason. It's mysterious and likely driven by spirits. You just accept it and move on"
The bull market hasn't even started yet. The halving hasn't happened. Retail is barely here. Uber drivers aren't telling you about how they've invested their life savings into some obscure coin. X is still relatively quiet. The madness starts after the halving and into winter.
The next great divide in the Bitcoin community is going to be between ossificationists and improvers.
Do we keep Bitcoin stable and secure, and take no risks with further soft forks, or do we continue to tinker and make changes to keep improving Bitcoin?
Bitcoin culture and discussion peaked at around 2011-2014 on Reddit and BitcoinTalk. During this time dozens of iconic memes and cultural reference points were created.
Bitcoin Twitter’s only contribution despite being far more active over a longer period is just “laser eyes”.
Happy Halving!
Wishing all my Bitcoin friends happiness and good health this epoch. I hope Bitcoin continues to grow, but most of all, I hope the community around it continues to never compromise on the core values we stand for.
Private ownership of gold used to be illegal in the United States even though keeping a large amount of wealth in gold is impractical.
If you think they won’t eventually come for self custody of Bitcoin you haven’t been paying attention.
Roger wasn't kind to me in his latest book, but I truly wish him the best. He did a lot for Bitcoin and a title like "Bitcoin Jesus" isn't something earned easily.
Good luck Roger. Everyone who loves freedom is supporting you. 👍
I bet Craig Wright and his lawyers have seen a draft copy of next week's disastrous COPA judgement and decided this is a battle that cannot be won.
Get some popcorn ready. Karma is about to hit Craig Wright hard and without mercy.
Bitcoin Core Version 27.0 is now available for download at bitcoin.org/en/download.
The block on UK users downloading it is also now removed. For those that didn't know, it previously wasn't possible to download Bitcoin Core from the UK because of litigation. A good day. 🎉
The Bitcoin Whitepaper is now available for people in the UK to read freely once again. The default judgement obtained fraudulently by Craig Wright has been overturned. Thank you to everyone who helped.
