The Australian entrepreneur, Craig Wright has long claimed himself as the creator of Bitcoin with pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto.
In a press release on 21 May claims that US officials received confirmation that Craig Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto, but the news has been trolled by crypto commentators.
Jerry Brito, executive director at non-profit organization Coin Center, tweeted:
“Registering a copyright is just filing a form. The Copyright Office does not investigate the validity of the claim; they just register it. Unfortunately, there is no official way to challenge a registration. If there are competing claims, the Office will just register all of them.”
According to the press release, Craig is trying to prove himself as the Bitcoin creator after the failure of Bitcoin Satoshi Vision which is bastardized by developers and exchanges.
There are rumours that Craig is planning to assign the copyright registrations to the Bitcoin Organisation.
