    How to produce hard, physical, solid evidence in that virtual, digital world?

    This story reminds me of the movie Somersby. The Richard Gere character took someone else's identity, then settled in his new life. Unfortunately the old guy killed someone. So he had to either stand in trial for murder, or acknowledge that he wasn't the guy.

    Just the same, Wright is either not Satoshi (as he claims to be) or if he is, he better cough up half of those 1 million BTCs. I wouldn't call the family greedy, they deserve the non-existent half of the loot.
     
  4. Very sad story.

    This is why you do research before you do anything.

    Greedy? Painting a narrative? If you feel you have a rightful claim to some thing, you should contest it.

    Lots of people slamming Bezos and Musk for having all that money but they didn't say a word when their companies were close to failing. Used to be you criticized the cheaters/fraud of the world but nowadays, jealousy has made people come up with their own narrative.

    I do not care the essence of this lawsuit. But we can't call anyone "greedy" without any substantial evidence. Everyone has a right to seek truth and justice.

    This Bitcoin is a fraud anyhow. People do not even know who the "inventors" are. So absurd.

    64 billion USD would make anyone greedy, I imagine.
     
  9. I used to think this exact thing as well.
    Then last year I started doing research on BTC/crypto and joined some Crytpo communities online.
    To say I wish I had done it much sooner would be a drastic understatement.

    Not trying to convince you of anything, just telling you my complete 180 on Crytpo and the technology and money making opportunities involved.
    Good luck.

    In some ways, cryptos craze resemble penny stock gambling due to the low priced assets being hyped and prices skyrocketing. Eventually most of them will fade away just like so many fake penny stocks. BUT delving into the actual utilities of these things, some things are game changing. Blockchain revolutionizing digital transaction processing was identified earlier on. Smart contracts, ala NFTs, have shown their potential utility. The one thing that everyone immediately thinks of when they think crypto is Bitcoin == currency. It's too volatile. Bitcoin if anything would be a store of value like gold.

    Warren Buffett, currently a non-crypto believer, mentioned the speculative nature of crypto as well as its lack of utility for not having any cryptos. Until general public can see the actual utility of cryptos that's when it could really take off.

    I tried looking into getting some of the more esoteric cryptos besides the main ones. The whole process is quite complicated. You need to first have some primary cryptos (Bitcoin/Ethereum) in your wallet/account then you can connect to an exchange to swap them for other cryptos like Floki. It all seems like a playground for techo nerds.
