Craig Wright copyright WhitePaper and Bitcoin source code (BTC)

Craig Wright, self-proclaimed Satoshi Nakamoto, filed an application for registration with the US Copyright Office and issued the copyright on the whitepaper and the source code of Bitcoin . This is evidenced by two entries on the website of the US Copyright Office.

A press release for Coindesk says:

"In the future, Wright intends to transfer the registration of copyright Bitcoin Association, which operates in the interests of ecosystem Bitcoins . Bitcoin Association is a global organization for bitcoin business. It supports BSV and owns Bitcoin SV client software. ”

Founding President Jimmy Nguyen gave the following comment in the release:

“We are very pleased that Craig Wright became the recognized author of the whitepaper and bitcoin code. Craig understands better than others that Bitcoin was created as a scalable blockchain , which should be used as a global electronic cash flow by billions of people, and be a global data registry for the largest enterprise applications. We look forward to working with Craig and the others so that his original vision will be recognized as Bitcoin and implemented through BSV. ”

Clarify: registration does not imply ownership and is not an official patent. The copyright registration procedure allows anyone to register anything, in order to prepare, for example, to legal proceedings related to ownership.

Jerry Brito, executive director of the Coin Center, writes :

“Registering copyright is just filling out a form. The copyright office does not investigate the validity of the claim; they simply register it. Unfortunately, there is no official way to challenge registration. If there are competing claims, the agency will simply register them. ”

Thus, it is now possible to dispute the authorship of Craig Wright in court, after the copyright on the same intellectual property has been processed.

The news is extremely positive impact on the price supported by Wright Bitcoin SV (BSV) cryptocurrency. For example, on the Singapore Stock Exchange Huobi, in a short period of time, the coin rose from $ 61 to $ 195, or more than 200%.

Soon the price of the asset was significantly adjusted. Now, according to CoinMarketCap, the weighted average BSV rate at $ 108, and the capitalization of the coin is $ 1.9 billion.

Recall that in May, Craig Wright once again suffered a fiasco in an attempt to prove that he is the creator of Bitcoin. “The address list of Satoshi Nakamoto,” which the entrepreneur submitted to the court in the framework of the proceedings with the Kleimanov family, turned out to be a copy-paste.
