Australian computer scientist Craig Wright has claimed to be Nakamoto since 2016, sparking disputes and lawsuits. Testifying against Wright were Adam Back, Mike Hearn, Martti Malmi and Zooko Wilcox-O’Hearn, all contributors to Bitcoin's early development.Adam Back developed Hashcash, which became the base for Bitcoin’s mining process. Martti Malmi managed Bitcoin.org, Mike Hearn contributed code, and Zooko Wilcox-O’Hearn promoted Bitcoin through blogging.
Nakamoto acknowledged these concerns but argued that traditional banking systems' inefficiencies far outweigh Bitcoin's energy use. He envisioned Bitcoin replacing resource-intensive infrastructure and billions of dollars in banking fees with a more efficient system.He emphasized Bitcoin's potential to be truly peer-to-peer without a trusted third party, unlike centralized electronic money attempts.
Nakamoto highlighted that Bitcoin's security grows alongside its size and the value it protects. While acknowledging initial vulnerability when the network is small, he noted that the effort required to steal outweighs potential gains."A key aspect of Bitcoin is that the security of the network grows as the size of the network and the amount of value that needs to be protected grows," Nakamoto writes.
