What are the theories about why the real Satoshi doesn't just move all the coin to another wallet himself to prove that Craig Wright is just a scammer?

Because the real Satoshi might be dead and took the keys with him to grave. I, to this day don't understand why it's not obvious why Satoshi has not done anything public for over 10 years.

Craig knew Dave, knows the coins are so close to his reach but he will never get to them.

"Faketoshi" as he's known in the community always finds a new way to NOT be able to prove he has access to the early mined coins. It's honestly comical at this point the different bullshit he comes up with. My favorite so far was finding an existing signature on the blockchain from Satoshi, modifying the data, then publishing the signature with different data in an attempt to claim to be the creator of Bitcoin.

Here’s a video of Craig Wright being called out by an actual expert and it’s hilarious https://youtu.be/0thnCDgRJfM. He clearly has no clue how ECDSA signatures work.

"They've all refused Wright's demands, though a firm called nChain Ltd is 'said to be working on a modification to the existing BSV client software, which would enable someone who owns but cannot access the BSV to regain control of them.'" Note that Craig Wright is the Chief Science Officer of nChain[0]. It seems cryptocurrency enthusiasts love irreversible transactions until they have one of their own transactions t…

Yes, all other "cryptos" are just products developed by companies who place themselves at the top of the pyramid.

This is one of the key properties that makes Bitcoin so important. There is no company that administrates over it. There is no CEO.

It's just a protocol.

Roughly 12k computers run this protocol around the world, helping to enforce the consensus rules which have been incredibly resilient to change over the last 13 years, despite numerous attempts.

It's this immutability of consensus on a decentralised network that makes Bitcoin (the token) so valuable.

My own preferred theory as a layman is that Wright is Satoshi and has lost the keys.

Aside from the obvious, can someone at least tell me how these claims are rationalized because they make no sense:

1) If the hackers copied and deleted the private keys from his computer

2) Why does Bitcoin SV need to be modified in order for the funds to be accessed

Do people on HN even know why those statements are not reconcilable? Does TheRegister, does the judge? I don't care what Craig Wright knows or thinks, he is a troll regardless, but I'm not even sure if his incoherent claims are something slightly more coherent that everyone else messed up.

Wait, is he saying that because he doesn't have the private keys, he wants the whole Bitcoin SV network modified to give him access to funds in a specific address? lol. okay.

I feel like he could just rent some hashpower to force a confidence breaking change on the network but I guess he wants court approval.

Okay? I came up with a theory of ham sandwiches, but I’m no chef. (Thousand island dressing is an underrated addition to almost any sandwich.)

There’s nothing to indicate he’s who he claims to be.

My favorite theory, Satoshi is a state actor and couldn't care less.

Many media publications really helped him by posting articles about how he "admits" to being Satoshi and has a "very similar email address".

Does anyone find the other guys claim more interesting? That you can derive private keys after just one transaction.
