Craig had always maintained that he was the main part involved in the creation of bitcoin but others helped. The first video I ever watched of Craig, my gut said it was him but I assumed he was a fraud after hearing he'd been proven to be so online. Such is the power of the crowd.
After researching the evidence and watching the first recorded public key signing, it became clear to me Craig had likely been speaking the truth.
The Satori moment however only began to hit me after I started watching Craig's online video's, realising his knowledge of Bitcoin, cryptography, and the architectural structure of the blockchain was on another level to any of the key figures in the movement. His familiarity with the history of the key developers, inner workings and the origins of the block-chain make it self-evident to anyone willing to watch his lectures that he's been around since its inception.
A few key things I've learned listening to Craig are that
The technology underlying the block-chain contrary to popular belief has been around since the late 1990's however adding the economic component is what made it Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is Turing Complete meaning it is capable of solving any problem that a Turing Machine can.
'Wright believes that BTC is a Total Turing Machine (TTM) – the first one to ever come into existence outside a lab:'
Much of the Bitcoin community has assumed the allegations about him being a fraud are true without looking further into the circumstances of the evidence.
That’s to be expected however. The fact that it is 2018 and there is a growing community of flat earth believers despite us having confirmed the earth is not flat with high resolution satellite imagery only confirms that emotions are more powerful than hard proof.
When all is said, Craig Steven Wright, David Kleinman and I believe Hal Finney (Having received the first bitcoin transaction from Satoshi) were the three key figures in the creation of Bitcoin.
