This is legit. He's doing this at the risk of felony/fraud (I believe).https://twitter.com/CoinDesk/status/1130817545584480259 …

The inventor of Bitcoin's wikipedia profile. I am very happy to learn that it is Craig Steven Wright and not Nick Szabo, who blocked me (like a child). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Steven_Wright …

I would still bet against him being the inventor. Satoshi has a simple way to prove who they are and filing copyright isn’t it.

The original block in the ledger? Satoshi evidently thought that copyrighting the original code was important enough for him to do. Therefore, if Craig Wright is not Satoshi, I would think that Satoshi would, in some way or another, dispute the application.

Craig Wright has tried to bait the media/Satoshi before. This looks similar. I don’t often agree with r/bitcoin but their take here seems right:https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/br9r8m/craig_wright_filed_a_copyright_registration_for/ …

I thought it was Szabo. Hard to say. I don't know enough about copyright law, nor bitcoin, nor the facts of the matter to have a strong opinion, notwithstanding my claim that the copyright app is "legit".pic.twitter.com/do3vuw95TW

The downside of a false application seems to be capped at $2500. Given the media this stunt has gotten and the market movements in his version of Bitcoin, that is very cheap advertising.https://www.justice.gov/jm/criminal-resource-manual-1856-copyrights-false-representations-17-usc-506e …

Wow, surprisingly low. Cheap advertising for what though? Cui bono and how?

He manages that forked project - and whether by purchasing at low prices or by mining he presumably owns a greater amount of it than he does of other bitcoin forks.
