The problem I see in the Craig S. Wright trial: most, if not all of the judges and legal people, generally don't understand (and many don't like) the concept of Bitcoin and its fundamental properties that make it what it is. This lack of knowledge and understanding of Bitcoin by the legal system, combined with some clever tactics of manipulation by the CSW side, can lead to the judge awarding CSW rights on the BTC in the addresses he supposedly owns. This can lead to an avalanche of legal actions and pressure on the Bitcoin Core team to do something that can't even be done. We all saw what happened in the Cøbra case.
CSW is a cancer that is metastasizing to all aspects of Bitcoin's existence and development, with the sole purpose of feeding his ego and satisfying his megalomania. The sooner he disappears from the face of the earth, the better. He has to be hit so hard as to never be able to attack anyone ever again -- just like cancer: cut it out before it spreads.
I am not sure if I get what you are saying, AlcoHoDL.
Isn't CSW merely fitting in a niche that happens to exist.. so even if he disappears from the trying to fuck over bitcoin scene, won't there by some other attack-vector dweeb to take his place as a newly anointed king of dweebs?
I see your point -- Bitcoin has demonstrated time and time again that it is robust enough to not be affected by various attack vectors in its history, and the attack vectors will surely never cease to exist -- if anything they are likely to intensify. It's just that Craig Wright is a special kind of beast, one that won't give up so easily, and will keep on fighting to destroy Bitcoin as long as he can do it. I wouldn't be writing this if the Cøbra case had a different outcome. Forcing (and succeeding in) the removal of the Bitcoin White Paper from the UK version of bitcoin.org has left a sour taste in my mouth... I just hate everything about this person, and really hate to see him winning cases due to the ignorance and technical incompetence of some judges. This is one sick megalomaniac the world would be better off without.
