> But with Craig Wright fraudulently claiming credit and invoking a copyright claim to take down the Bitcoin whitepaper, we’re forced to revisit the topic and recenter the discussion around the Cypherpunks who actually built Bitcoin.

No, we're not. We can dismiss the fraudulent claims of Craig Wright without being "forced" to do anything else.

If that's the case why has Craig continued to gain prominence and have more and more sway over BTC? Bitcion SV is worth $4B now. He's been able to monopolize the mindshare on Satoshi and misdirect the narrative.

BSV is a small cryptocurrency, the market cap is smaller than the joke coin Dogecoin. $4B is less than half of a percent of the market cap of Bitcoin.

Furthermore, an investment in BSV isn't necessarily a validation of Craig Wright's claims.

It's the 23rd largest cryptocurrency. It's not especially small and you are comparing it to a crypto currently in the 14th spot, meme or not.

It was in the top 10 only a few months ago. The trend is that it's going away.
