Craig S. Wright has been granted U.S. copyright registrations for the famed original Bitcoin white paper, and most of the original Bitcoin code (version 0.1). Importantly, the registrations issued by the U.S. Copyright Office recognize Wright as the author – under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto – of both the white paper and code. This is the first government agency recognition of Craig Wright as Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin. In addition to being Bitcoin’s creator, Wright is currently Chief Scientist of nChain, the global leader in advisory, research and development of blockchain technologies, which focuses on massive adoption of Bitcoin in the form of Bitcoin SV (Satoshi Vision).

The pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto was used as author of the Bitcoin white paper, first posted online in 2008, and as author of the first Bitcoin code used in January 2009. Over the past 10 years, the true identity of Bitcoin’s creator has been the subject of intense curiosity. In late 2015 and early 2016, certain media outlets reported belief that Craig Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto, leading to significant debate since then.

“All the early adopters (Wright and his friends) have millions of them, and made a killing when mining released them ten per day divided by two people, but now they’re rare and only .001 are released per day, divided among thousands of people.”

1. Computers have become more powerful
2. No guarantee of the value of any bitcoin ever
3. Anyone can simply buy slices of bitcoin - even today
4. People bought AAPL, MSFT, GOOG, etc early before IPOs or as compensation at prices unavailable to the public. It’s life.

The only concern I see is when the reward is so small, that few want to make the effort to validate the blockchain...

But I’m no expert on this.
