A journalist named Jasmine Solana found an economic textbook that was used at some of China's top universities. The book became news material, for boldly stating that Dr. Craig Wright is Satoshi Nakamoto, the controversial creator of Bitcoin.
Who is Craig Wright?
Craig Wright is widely known for blatantly claiming to be the creator of Bitcoin. Some important news publications and Bitcoin figures such as Gavin Andresen and Jon Matonis, said that Wright has signed a message using Satoshi Nakamoto's "key". However, the news is still questionable and has become a controversial issue in the crypto community. Wright finally stopped discussing the claim.
Used As Guidelines At Wuhan University
Despite many doubts, Craig Wright apparently still has the support of several parties who believe his identity as Satoshi Nakamoto. Frederic Mishkin, author of "The Economics of Money, Banking, and Financial Markets (sixth edition)" is one of them. He named Wright as "Australian Geek" who discovered the crypto Bitcoin nearly ten years ago.
The book was originally written in English, then later translated into Chinese. No mess, this book has been approved circulation and translated by Wuhan Press University, one of the largest educational institutions in China. The book is also used as one of the guidebooks for students enrolled in the Faculty of Economics and Management of the University.
For comparison, books on Bitcoin at other prominent universities such as Princeton and MIT only refer to the creator of Bitcoin under his pseudonym, Satoshi Nakamoto.
Nakamoto figure is not really revealed
Many claims emerged from some figures claiming to be the inventors of Bitcoin, as well as accusations of Bitcoin users who suspect certain figures. One example is an incident that occurred just before the circulation of the news about the choice book of Wuhan University. A Hawaiian man named Ronald Keala Kua Maria claims that he is the original Satoshi Nakamoto, also tried to acquire the trademark Bitcoin Cash.
Although quite rampant speculated, there has not been a person who really verified as Satoshi Nakamoto until now. Craig Wright is the closest possible candidate because it has been supported by several important figures in the world of Bitcoin. But even so, he has not received universal recognition of his claims.
