In that case, the media and papparazzos were hounding a frail old man who was clearly very uncomfortable with the whole thing.&lt;p&gt;Craig Wright seems to just love being in the spotlight. So there&amp;#x27;s no reason to deny the claims for empathic reasons. It would suck for the real Satoshi to create an expectation that he&amp;#x27;ll have to individually refute all these claims, I imagine he has other things to do.</text><parent_chain><item><author>blowski</author><text>Seems to me like there are two possible scenarios here:&lt;p&gt;1.

Craig Wright is lying.&lt;p&gt;Even if he&amp;#x27;s not Satoshi, he seems smart enough to know he wouldn&amp;#x27;t get away with releasing shoddy proofs. Perhaps he thought the mainstream media would say &amp;quot;Craig Wright invented Bitcoin&amp;quot; and anyone that disagreed would be called a conspiracy nut.&lt;p&gt;Perhaps this was a kind of pump-and-dump where he expected the price to change significantly and make a killing out of doing it.

Think about it, there will be even a Hollywood movie about us. For the start, see I&amp;#x27;ve already agreed for more exclusives.&lt;p&gt;And oh, I can help your case for introducing bigger blocks to Bitcoin. There&amp;#x27;s going to be this nice conference in NY where you can present your argument exactly on the first day of my &amp;quot;big announcement.&amp;quot;</text><parent_chain><item><author>blowski</author><text>Seems to me like there are two possible scenarios here:&lt;p&gt;1.
