WHY BSV IS THE TRUE BITCOIN - PART 1 (Technical Superiority)
1,262 views Jul 20, 2023
CryptoRick discusses how BSV (Bitcoin Satoshi Vision) is the true Bitcoin all along - fast, scalable, affordable, with 50K TPS and subpenny transactions - so how was this concealed for so long? Currently, as of writing, BSV is at $33, yet this humble asset may indeed flip BTC and be the new phoenix.
https://youtu.be/aGzltvSzBRQ
Rick has put together some good information imo albeit I am biased due to holding some Bitcoin SV but I thought his four part deep dive might also be of interest to BTC holders given the UK court case due to begin in January.
NChain and its U.K. based chief scientist Dr. Craig Wright have amassed an unparalleled IP portfolio focused on enterprise blockchain and Web3 technology. To date, global patent offices have awarded 765 patents to nChain, with another 3,400+ patents filed and awaiting approval. Combined, the portfolio spans nearly 500 patent families, with applicability to Web3, NFTs, smart contracts, AI and more.
Ayre’s point about other blockchain/Web3 projects leaning on nChain’s IP was made clear earlier this year, when Jack Dorsey’s payment processing firm Block (NASDAQ: SQ) filed a smart contract patent application that omitted its reliance on a prior patent held by nChain. Fortunately, some sharp eyes at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office caught the omission and added the necessary citation.

LONDON, Aug. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Ayre Group has finalised agreements to take a controlling interest in nChain, the global leader in blockchain and Web3 technology, in a 500 million Euro deal that will provide a huge boost to the blockchain and Web3 sectors.

For balance I have been looking into other potential candidates for the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto. I'll be sharing some videos and content on this for anyone that is following the Satochi story and Craig Wrights court case next year.

Stefan Matthews recounts Bitcoin beginnings in Satoshi Trial Norway – Day 4 | Granath v Wright
CoinGeek
4,748 views Oct 5, 2022
https://youtu.be/iR8iAU4zAIY
The #GranathvWright trial in Norway saw former colleagues of #Bitcoin creator Dr. Craig Wright testifying about Bitcoin’s early days. They include Stefan Matthews, currently the chairman of nChain, who recalls receiving a hard copy of a draft Bitcoin white paper before it had been released publicly.
The courts have discussed this and signing or moving early BTC only proves ownership or access and does not prove identity.
Perhaps if the court is undecided after hearing all the 'evidence' that signing or moving coins believed to be Satoshi coins could swing the verdict...
Fascinating stuff
In theory it should be easy for him to prove it, assuming he can access any of the initial Bitcoin associated with the first Blocks. I don't see anyone else coming forward claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto though; I suspect he is, but he has to prove it.
Judge Rules Craig Wright Must Prove He is Satoshi In January Before His Lawsuits Proceed
On July 25, Judge Mellor of the UK High Court released his ruling from a case management conference held last month regarding a key issue in several separate UK lawsuits: the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto.
Craig Wright is involved in several lawsuits in the UK alleging that multiple organizations and individuals in the crypto community violated his copyright of the Bitcoin whitepaper, Bitcoin database, and other intellectual property related to the creation of Bitcoin.
As Judge Mellor wrote in his ruling, all of these lawsuits—which includes the Database Rights case against, inter alia, 13 Bitcoin Core developers—hinge on the question of “whether Dr. Wright is/was Satoshi Nakamoto.”
In Tuesday’s ruling, Judge Mellor decided that this question will be resolved for all cases during a January 2024 trial. As Judge Mellor wrote in the ruling, the results of the January trial will determine whether the other cases will go forward:
“The parties to the latter three actions are all going to be bound by the outcome of the COPA trial. If the court decides that Dr. Wright was not Satoshi Nakamoto, those three actions end at that point. By contrast, if the court decides that Dr. Wright was Satoshi, then all three actions proceed in full.”

Dr. Craig Wright notched another win in the United Kingdom’s Court of Appeal today, as the court granted Dr. Wright’s appeal over his copyright in the Bitcoin file format.

Craig Wright Loses Bitcoin Copyright Claim in UK Court
The file format of the Bitcoin blockchain can’t be protected by copyright, a U.K. judge has found, ruling against self-proclaimed inventor Craig Wright.
Wright, who says he wrote the 2008 Bitcoin white paper under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakomoto, had sought to argue he should be able to block the operation of Bitcoin and the system that forked from it, Bitcoin Cash, because they breach his intellectual property rights.

It caught my attention because 1inch pumped 100% and they were a sponsor...probably due to a recent upgrade but interesting to see Banks seemingly involved Blockchain... XRP promoted by Davos and regarded as a payment network.. hmmm
Non of it surprises me. I've always said the technology is useful, and that's where the value lies, there's no value in the individual tokens based on that technology and created out of thin air.
Forbes reveals extent of nChain patent empire—and the campaign to destroy it
14 JULY 2023
'The work of nChain and in particular its chief scientist Dr. Craig Wright was the subject of a Forbes cover story this week which canvassed the decades-long career of Wright and most importantly the vast digital asset patent portfolio he has built with nChain.
The premise of the article is this: it doesn’t matter whether you or anyone else thinks that Dr. Wright is Satoshi, because the blockchain-related intellectual property being developed by Wright and nChain is going to dominate the industry regardless.'

I think this highlights the issues with unregulated tokens in relation to ownership, and the problems with a make it up as you go along Open Source model. The way it's going, developers, exchanges and even miners might have accept a duty of care to Crypto holders, which could open up the claim floodgates for lost BTC tokens. Things like this could kill unbacked Crypto if the floodgates open wide enough
