it was painfully bad if you were watching. By halfway through it was pretty obvious he was going to lose.
Fucking guy said he used steganographic watermarking in the whitepaper and made it sound like he was going to show some hidden code in it by the end of the trial, then never did. Just one example.
He had his sister up there and her testimony basically equated to "Yeah when my brother was younger he dressed up like a ninja and scared us!!! He was into japanese stuff!!!"
so from what u saw of the trial u don't think he was satosh?

1MsA8b3URm6XfhGdeM2b7mr2d7zmx73dg3 UnverifiedNo, and there's other reasons I don't think he is either, namely that BSV isn't whitepaper Bitcoin, it's not the same system, but it's still being touted as "Real Bitcoin" and most BSV'ers buy it. It's like the final boss of deciphering Bitcoin and is a catch-all for most people who realize BTC/BCH isn't Bitcoin. They end up here thinking they have "real Bitcoin".
The whole thing just seems to be another psy-op to suppress whitepaper Bitcoin, while duping people into believing that's what it is. I assign reasonably high odds to Craig being an intelligence agent with a very niche specific role here. We know he worked with intelligence in the past.
Whitepaper bitcoin must be a legit existential threat, because for 17 years they've successfully suppressed it, through multiple variations, in different ways with each.
super based
It really is one of the craziest stories going, to this day. If what I'm saying is true (and it's hard to argue against it), basically nobody on earth understands what's happening with Bitcoin. A couple people here do. @6345 gets it.
It is evidence of the overwhelming power of intelligence agencies with regards to memory-holing/suppressing ideas. 17 fucking years and whitepaper Bitcoin still does not exist, nobody understands that, and BTC is still at the top. That's a series of pretty successful ops.
And it has to be intelligence ops. There's no way this happened organically.
@3 I will also say that BSV might actually be optimal compared to whitepaper Bitcoin. Maybe confiscation is necessary for global stability.
It's actually possible that whitepaper bitcoin is an existential threat for various reasons. That would explain why they've done this.
The crazy part is the success they had against raising the blocksize limit like that one is a no brainer yet everyone thinks its like a nuclear bomb for bitcoin really unreal
