Craig Wright

Is Craig Wright Satoshi Nakamoto?

Would Satoshi appeal to the force and violence of the state to try to prove ownership of intellectual property that was deliberately released anonymously in the un-jurisdiction of cyberspace?

You work for Bitcoin

You work for Bitcoin. Whether you like it or not, believe it or not, you do. Bitcoin is value the way meters are distance. You can say, “I don’t use meters, I use inches/feet/yards.” Or “I don’t use Bitcoin I use dollars.” But if you run a marathon you run a certain amount of yards, and a certain number of meters, regardless of which measurement system you prefer to use personally. So, if you work in exchange for value, you are working for a certain amount of bitcoin, regardless of whether you denominate your value in Bitcoin or dollars.

“I believe we are witnessing the end of an era, the era of bourgeois democracies with their constitutions, their parliaments, their rights, the separation of powers. The democratic guidelines… had been in critical condition for the longest time. For some time, the… government had been issuing decrees for the longest time instead of parliaments. The legislative function is held by the government as things stand, and still not by the parliaments. The state of emergency is the mechanism, history teaches us, by which democracies become totalitarian states.” -  Giorgio Agamben, August 2020 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=867_5upU55o
