..."he argued the XRP ledger “uses a consensus mechanism” that requires validators. Despite everything that has in the past been said about XRP being or not a security, Wright kept on arguing with the cryptocurrency’s proponents on Twitter.

In a follow-up tweet, he added XRP is a security as it is bought and sold with the expectation of profit."

 

Craig Wright is a joke... BCH / Bitcoin use's a "consensus" mechanism to some degree... it's the entire reason BCH was born - miners could not come to an agreement so they split the chain, and it's happening again. BCH and Bitcoin are also bought/sold with the expectation of profit, so by his reasoning, everything is technically a security.

He's clearly trying to hit below the waist here. That means he's afraid. He's "calling the cops" on a competitor. I think with this tweet, he completely discredited himself to be the leader in this space. My vote goes to David.

If David claims to be Satoshi, I'd believe him   This Wright guy.....Nah....

Yeah he is not as smart as he thinks he is in my opinion.  Definately not Satoshi.

We all will bald face lie if the circumstances are correct.  I’m sure David would lie like a trooper if a gun is held to his wife’s head.

But short of that kind of extremis, I believe absolutely everything David says.  Or at least I believe that he believes it.

So yeah, if he ever claimed to be Satoshi I would absolutely believe it.  Still would want to see a wallet movement though...

Happens with all assets. Price starts going up,  detractors (usually selfishly) come out and say it's unjustified. I don't listen to anyone anymore. I just buy my ticket and take the ride.

He's picking new battles when he hasn't won his current one.

He's got some confidence.

 

Or maybe he's trying to rally the divided BiTChcoin masses against the hated pre-mined bankster scamcoin.

Every ranting dictator needs a scapegoat.

He has already blocked everyone that could possibly battle with him on this issue.

These are bad days for Proof of Work. He may be having a tough time dealing with that.

Charles Hoskinson the cofounder of Etherium and the founder of ADA had some good words for XRP and has spoken about Craig Wright the fake Satoshi Nakamoto in an interview that I saw a little while ago. A looser that always wants his name in the news.
