"Yesterday both Bitcoin.org and Bitcoincore.org received allegations of copyright infringement of the Bitcoin whitepaper by lawyers representing Craig Steven Wright. In this letter, they claim Craig owns the copyright to the paper, the Bitcoin name, and ownership of bitcoin.org. They also claim he is Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, and the original owner of bitcoin.org. Bitcoin.org and Bitcoincore.org were both asked to take down the whitepaper."

This is just more of the same Blockstream (Adam Back) trying to rewrite history.

Back's Blockstream hijacked the GitHub repo years ago and ever since has been working hard to buy up influence and control the narrative about Bitcoin.

They artificially limited the block size which caused an increase in fees, trying to push users to their second layer solutions.

Isn't this guy literally billions in the hole to the estate of someone he claims was his partner in creating BTC, and who is co-owner of the Satoshi hoard of coins which haven't moved (ever)? Did that court case ever finish or is he still using every trick in the book to draw it out?

Someone should host the whitepaper on IPFS.

They have. It's also hosted on the Bitcoin blockchain and it's forks and there are torrents of it of course.

Here's how to decode it from the blockchain: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/35959/how-is-the...
