Craig Wright, who claims to be a bitcoin developer, called the VTC a fraudulent project

Craig Wright, who has long claimed to be a Bitcoin developer, has called the flagship cryptocurrency a fraudulent project. Сатоші Накамото" href="https://noworries.media/biography/satoshi-nakamoto/" data-bio-id="4232">Satoshi Nakamoto shared his new point of view on Twitter.

«Why? What are these statements that BTC will reach a historical high for? It is not used, it has no utility or other functions. Please explain to me why bitcoin is not a Ponzi scheme or a crypto pyramid. Bitcoin is an inefficient payment system ,» Wright wrote on his Twitter page.

Users were surprised by Craig Wright’s statement, because until recently, he had been defending the value of bitcoin and claiming that he had invented the BTC. In 2022, at the beginning of September, the scientist announced that he had destroyed the keys to Satoshi Nakamoto’s wallet, the world’s first crypto wallet. Wright «confessed» that he had trampled the hard drive where they were stored. «If I hadn’t done it, people would have forced me to do things I didn’t want to do,» he argued.

Perhaps, Craig Wright’s statements are related to the fact that almost no one took his «confession» of creating bitcoin seriously. In late December, Wright announced that he was no longer going to convince the public that he was Satoshi Nakamoto. The pseudo-father of bitcoin wrote a huge Twitter thread where he complained to his followers that they never believed him. «Everyone made fun of me. I’m angry and hurt. It’s over. I don’t care what you think anymore. I care about my family. I want my work to be used, nothing else matters,» Wright tweeted.
