Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) sues Craig Wright
The Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA) sued Wright in 2021. COPA wanted a ruling to prevent Wright from claiming Bitcoin copyright.
Prevent him from claiming copyright of the Bitcoin white paper and suing his critics and developers under the guise of his creation of Bitcoin.
Satoshi case details
It all started in 2016, when Wright began claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto, thereby trying to assert his rights to Bitcoin intellectual property in a very aggressive way.
However, the court found that Wright produced forged documents and altered documents to support his own claims.
The turning point came when Judge James Mellor concluded that the creators of a highly technical system like Bitcoin would not have made the careless errors found in Wright's evidence.
The trial didn't stop there! As well as rejecting Wright's claims, Mr Justice Mellor referred Wright to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) for possible prosecution on perjury and forgery charges.
The judge stressed that Wright had lied extensively and falsified documents on a "large scale."
The CPS will decide whether to prosecute Wright for wrongdoing and may seek his arrest and extradition.
Craig Wright has no right of appeal
Wright must post a similar notice on his X (formerly Twitter) account. As of now, he hasn't updated his account.
Despite Wright's social media claims, he hasn't applied for permission to appeal the judgment.

- Apr 01, 2025 1:43 pmFidelity Report Suggests Bitcoin May Enter New Acceleration PhaseAccording to Odaily, Fidelity Digital Assets has released a report challenging the notion that Bitcoin has reached its cycle peak. The report suggests that Bitcoin might be on the verge of a new 'acceleration phase.' Analyst Zack Wainwright highlights that such phases are characterized by 'high volatility and high returns,' similar to the market behavior observed in December 2020 when Bitcoin surpassed $20,000. Despite Bitcoin's year-to-date return being -11.44% and a nearly 25% pullback from its historical high, Wainwright believes the recent performance aligns with the average retracement seen after acceleration phases in previous cycles. He notes that Bitcoin is still in the acceleration phase but nearing the cycle's end, having lasted 232 days as of March 3. Historical data shows that the acceleration phases in 2010-2011, 2015, and 2017 peaked on the 244th, 261st, and 280th days, respectively, with each cycle's duration progressively increasing. Historically, acceleration phases typically feature two major upward waves, with the first occurring after the election. If Bitcoin can surpass its previous high again, the second wave might start near $110,000.

- Apr 01, 2025 1:33 pmFidelity analyst: Bitcoin is still in the acceleration stage, and if it breaks through the previous high, it may rise to more than $110,000Odaily Planet Daily News Fidelity Digital Assets questioned the view that "Bitcoin has reached the highest point of the cycle" in its latest report, and believed that Bitcoin may be on the eve of the next round of "acceleration phase". Fidelity analyst Zack Wainwright pointed out that the typical characteristics of Bitcoin's acceleration phase are "high volatility and high returns", similar to the market performance when BTC broke through $20,000 in December 2020. Although Bitcoin's return rate since the beginning of the year is -11.44%, a retracement of nearly 25% from its historical high, Wainwright believes that the recent performance is consistent with the average retracement after the acceleration phase in previous cycles. Wainwright believes that Bitcoin is still in the acceleration phase but is nearing the end of the cycle, which has lasted for 232 days as of March 3. Historical data shows that the acceleration phases in 2010-2011, 2015 and 2017 peaked on the 244th day, 261st day and 280th day respectively, and the duration of the cycle has been extended from round to round. But historically, there are usually two main upswings in the acceleration phase, and the first one in this round occurred after the election. If it can break through the previous high again, the starting point of the second main upswing may be around $110,000. (Cointelegraph)
