In an unexpected turn of events, UK judge James Mellor has ruled that the self-proclaimed Bitcoin creator Craig Wright is nothing more than a self-proclaimed one. The judge’s ruling now has made the whole crypto community sigh with relief – Wright is officially not Satoshi Nakamoto, not the author of the Bitcoin code and did not author the BTC whitepaper.

This came as a result of the lawsuit of COPA (the Crypto Open Patent Alliance) against Craig Wright started in 2021. Initially, the Australian computer scientist Wright proclaimed himself to be Satoshi in 2016.

Twitter co-founder and a Bitcoin evangelist Jack Dorsey has also posted the judge’s ruling on his Twitter/X page.

In 2018, Wright also launched Bitcoin SV (Satoshi Vision) crypto, claiming that this is the “real” Bitcoin and BTC has nothing to do with the initial coin launched in 2009.
