Bitcoin not invented by computer scientist Wright — courtLONDON, United Kingdom — Australian computer scientist Craig Wright is not "Satoshi Nakamoto", the pseudonym used by the creator of the cryptocurrency bitcoin when it launched in 2008, a UK court ruled Thursday. "Dr Wright is not the person who adopted or operated under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto in the period 2008 to 2011." The judge added: "Dr Wright is not the person who created the bitcoin system... he is not the author of the initial versions of the bitcoin software." The organisation brings together heavyweights in the industry, including the cryptocurrency platform Coinbase and Block, which specialises in digital payments. "That ends today with the court's ruling that Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto," it added.
