Summary
Dr. Craig Wright, who claims to be Satoshi Nakamoto, has issued a settlement offer to the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) and other involved parties. In the letter, Wright proposes waiving his database rights and copyrights related to BTC, BCH, and ABC databases, and offering an irrevocable license to his opposing parties. However, critics argue that Wright’s claims are false and that he is attempting to maintain his scam and avoid legal consequences. COPA and other parties have until January 31st to review and respond to the offer.
Key Points
1. Dr. Craig Wright, who claims to be Satoshi Nakamoto, has issued a settlement offer to members of the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) and all other parties involved in the ongoing legal confrontations. The proposed settlement includes waiving Wright’s database rights and copyrights related to BTC, BCH, and ABC databases, and offering an irrevocable license to his opposing parties who control, operate, and/or own those databases.
2. Bitcoin is a decentralized and distributed ledger, meaning no individual or organization owns and controls the network. Therefore, if Wright is not Satoshi, he does not have the authority to grant licenses for database rights and copyrights.
3. Wright’s terms also include prohibiting COPA from creating, copying, or forking Bitcoin. It is important to note that Wright’s Bitcoin Satoshi Vision (BSV) is a fork of Bitcoin Cash (BCH), which was itself a fork of Bitcoin (BTC). Additionally, Wright demands that entities cease claiming to represent Bitcoin and publicly acknowledge what he believes Bitcoin was created for.
