Bitcoin 'Creator' Goes to Court to Prove He is Satoshi Nakamoto

Craig Wright, who claimed to be bitcoin's creator Satoshi Nakamoto, is going to court to try to prove he is Nakamoto. A trial starts Feb 5 in London.

An organization called the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (Copa) filed a lawsuit against Wright to get a court ruling that he is not Nakamoto.

Copa says many documents Wright provided as proof he is Nakamoto are forgeries. Wright offered to settle but Copa rejected.

Wright has focused on promoting bitcoin fork bitcoin SV since the 2017 bitcoin schism over blocksize.

The trial is viewed as a "modern tech battle" with Wright claiming bitcoin code was moved to GitHub without his consent as Nakamoto.
