Craig Wright: either I'm Satoshi, or he coordinated me – choose
Craig Wright once again promised to provide evidence that he is the creator of Bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto, but mentioned the latter in the third person.
The incident happened during the London conference CC London Investment in Blockchain and AI Forum 2019, reports Cointelegraph .
“Either I am Satoshi, or he coordinated me. Choose. It doesn’t bother me much, since he stole entire paragraphs from one of my works. Therefore, it’s either me or … I don’t care whether you like it or not, ” he concluded.
