"The next day, Craig sent me an email. It linked to an article headlined ‘UK Law Enforcement Sources Hint at Impending Craig Wright Arrest’. The article suggested that the father of bitcoin might be liable, under the Terrorism Act, for the actions of people who used bitcoin to buy weapons. Under the link, Wright had written an explanation: ‘I walk from 1 billion or I go to jail. I never wanted to be out, but if I prove it, they destroy me and my family. I am the source of terrorist funds as bitcoin creator or I am a fraud to the world. At least a fraud is able to see his family. There is nothing I can do.’".

No sé cuan cierta es ésta noticia, pero la estrategia de recuerar el nombre bitcoin, no sé porqué parece que se estå moviendo algo.

"For being the supposed ‘creator’ of Bitcoin, Wright is terribly unaware of the copyright laws regarding his own creation. Bitcoin Core was intended to be open-source. It operates under an MIT license, a permissive free software license and has very few limited restrictions. Satoshi’s asset was intended to be free to use, with its name, logo, and underlying technology open for all to see and use as they see fit. However, Wright seems to believe that it is all his for the taking".

They spoke about moneymaking ventures Wright was involved in a long time ago. Wright alleged Matthews knew about these activities, which was true, because Matthews had mentioned them to me.‘I just couldn’t do things anymore,’ he said. ‘That’s all.’

They wanted to talk about the trust, but they didn’t really explain it. He said it was to hide the bitcoin. ‘It’s not meant to be spent,’ he said. ‘Too many problems.’

‘It’s also a guarantee that you can’t flood the market,’ Ramona said. ‘That we can’t use it to pay the bills, no matter how desperate things get.’ When I asked who the trustees were they went quiet."

Nuestro amigo argentino Daniel @danielbsv nos deja un artĂ­culo con su visiĂłn sobre lo que sucede con Bitcoin.

BSV, " Proponen tamaños de bloques de mĂĄs de 2GB e incluso de un tamaño ilimitado, dotando a su blockchain de la escalabilidad necesaria para su adopciĂłn masiva mediante el uso de empresas y personas por igual, con maxi pagos y micropagos todos “Onchain” permitiendo realizar transacciones instantĂĄneas y con costos Ă­nfimos. Sostienen que la descentralizaciĂłn no estĂĄ en la cantidad de nodos y mineros, sino en la descentralizaciĂłn del poder de la comunidad, en mantener al protocolo original a salvo de modificaciones y en cuidar e incentivar correctamente a los mineros."

"The advisories, addressed to both financial institutions and digital payment platforms, state that “convertible virtual currencies,” particularly bitcoin, bitcoin cash, ethereum and monero, can be and have been used for illicit substance purchases on the clear, deep, and dark nets."

"The original Bitcoin source code provided pay-to-ip, which was a method of transacting peer-to-peer. That code was removed. We are making peer-to-peer transactions possible again today with paymail. We encourage all wallets to adopt this approach."

El mito de Prometeo y el fuego nos hace contemplar una pregunta seria: si Prometeo no le hubiera robado el fuego a Zeus, ¿qué habría hecho la humanidad? Pero el travieso Titån en la mitología griega lo robó y, aunque fue celebrado por los mortales, fue castigado cruelmente por el Dios de todos los dioses.

The Myth of Prometheus, myth of fire stolen by Prometheus.

"The myth of Prometheus and fire makes us contemplate on a serious question: If Prometheus hadn’t stolen the fire from Zeus, what the mankind would have done? But the mischievous Titan in the Greek Mythology stole it and while he was celebrated by the mortals he was cruelly punished by the God of all Gods"

"...‘It would be the best one in human history,’ Craig said. ‘It’d be Ronnie Biggs on steroids times a million. I invented a new form of money. Who has ever had anything to do with money that wasn’t to do with government? Who has ever really succeeded?’

‘You mean it’s a thankless task?’

‘It’s always Prometheus,’ he said. ."

Blackmail, police raids, hidden fortunes, death threats and a billion dollar offshore trust.
