For The Detractors of Craig Wrights Claim to Satoshi Nakamoto

It seems that the majority of people within the crypto community still believe Craig Steven Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto. It may be an uncomfortable truth for many but if you believe Craig S Wright is a fraud then I'd invite you to consider the facts and evidence (NOT opinions) listed below.

1. Craig Wright has signed the genesis block unofficially with the private key in the presence of the most reputable figures in the world of Bitcoin (Gavin Andresen, John Matonis and other trusted parties).

2. According to Eli Afram, during a ride to the airport with Roger Ver, aka Bitcoin Jesus, Roger Ver explained that Dr Wright offered to sign the genesis block with Satoshi keys for him as evidence that he was Satoshi. Roger responded that he believed him and that signing was unnecessary. Roger then joked “of course I’m not prepared to go public about it”. We all knew what ‘going public’ meant. It meant suicide… look what happened to Gavin, to Matonis.

3. The claim of Craig Wrights fraud during the official public key signing published by 'Motherboard' attributed to Greg Maxwell, a Bitcoin core developer, has been proven to be false.
   Greg Maxwell claimed that the two PGP keys could not have been created in 2008 as the functionality to create them was not available until July 2009, HOWEVER a document entitled "Appeal to authority: A failure of trust" reported to have been written by Satoshi Nakamoto explains the process of creating a PGP key using GnuPG version 1.4.7 (a release that was available in 2008). In short, the claims made by the motherboard article were wrong, and there is no real evidence to suggest C.S.W's original public key signing was fraudulent.

4. Craig had previously planned to go ahead and transfer coins from an address associated with Satoshi but backed down before doing so sending an an email to Andrew O'hagan, the Journalist involved in the story around his public outing. It linked to an article headlined “UK law enforcement sources hint at impending Craig Wright arrest”. The article suggested that the father of Bitcoin might be liable, under the Terrorism Act, for the actions of people who used Bitcoin to buy weapons. (Similar thing happened to Ross Ulbricht who is serving 3 life sentences).
   Under the link, Wright had written an explanation: “I walk from 1 billion [dollars] or I go to jail. I never wanted to be out, but if I prove it, they destroy me and my ­family. I am the source of terrorist funds as Bitcoin creator or I am a fraud to the
   world. At least a fraud is able to see his family. There is nothing I can do.”

5. C.S.W's mother claims that he was obsessed with Japanese culture growing up as a kid and had samurai swords. The non-public emails and posts of Satoshi found on forums make use of certain words that would only likely be used by a British/Australian/New Zealander.

6. Joseph Vaughn Perling famously told a story of meeting a hacker at a conference who went by the name Satoshi Nakamoto (Also referenced by Bernard von NotHaus in his interview for the film Bitcoin: The End of Money). After the CSW media debacle in 2015/2016, Joseph tweeted confirming it was in fact .....Wait for it ....CSW who he'd met years before!

7. Craig Wright's technical understanding of Bitcoin is second to none and he certainly has the credentials to be Satoshi. He was the first to publically talk about Bitcoin being Turing Complete, something that illuded even experts like Nick Szabo. He holds 17 degrees ranging from Computer Science to Theology, including multiple doctorates, operating numerous businesses, with countless inventions, papers, and heading for thousands of patents.

8. The non-public emails and posts of Satoshi found on forums make use of certain words i.e Bloody, wet blanket that would only likely be used by a British/Australian/New Zealander.

9. There is an email written to David Kleinman in 2008 asking him to provide assistance editing a White-Paper he had been working on dealing with a new Electronic form of money.

10. Craig Has been awarded copyright ownership of the Bitcoin Whitepaper and the original code by the U.S government, having sworn under oath to this with the threat of facing several years imprisonment if committing perjury.

Much of the Bitcoin community has assumed the allegations about Craig being a fraud are true without looking further into the circumstances of the evidence.

If we simply stuck with the circumstantial evidence, which there is an abundance of i.e emails explaining to David Kleinman that he was working on a new form of Electronic Money he wanted David to be involved in, it would be 'probable' that he is Satoshi. The unofficial evidence provided, however, combined with his sworn testimony makes it clear to anyone outside of the most skeptical that Craig Steven Wright is, in fact, the Satoshi Nakamoto behind the Whitepaper.

Finally, It's worth mentioning that come January 1st, 2020, Craig will be the recipient of billions of dollars worth of Bitcoin held in a trust designated as "Tulips", giving him the ability to drastically affect the market.
