FOCUS High Court Hands BSV Creator Legal Win. Bitcoin SV (BSV) shot up 22% over the past 24 hours after its creator Craig Wright won a UK court battle over whether bitcoin.org should be allowed to host the original Bitcoin white paper. Claiming copyright infringement – and, controversially, that he is actually the paper's pseudonymous author, Satoshi Nakamoto – Wright won his bid to get the paper taken down because the website’s pseudonymous owner, “Cøbra,” chose not to mount a defense (Cointelegraph). "Wright’s wider battle to prove that he is the progenitor of Bitcoin is still going through the courts," Decrypt said. "But it has been widely rejected by the community." Wright refers to the largest crypto as “Bitcoin Core” and quixotically wants his fork BSV (named for Satoshi's vision) to rightfully assume the moniker Bitcoin, insisting it is truer to the original intentions as spelled out in the paper. Cøbra told Decrypt no court order had been issued – yet: “Continuing to host it after that will be breaking the law.”
