Cryptocurrency-loving countries are hosting the Bitcoin white paper. The movement in defense of Nakamoto’s technical document adds allies around the world.
The original Bitcoin white paper is currently being replicated spontaneously by thousands of bitcoiners on various digital platforms worldwide. Now, the whitepaper is even at the Estonian government website’s hands and is suffering dissemination all over the Internet by government officials and state offices in Colombia, the United States, and other countries.
The move started last week after Craig Steven Wright (CSW) lawyers demanded that bitcoin.org and bitcoincore.org remove the Bitcoin whitepaper created by Satoshi Nakamoto. They claim that it is infringing copyright because CSW allegedly wrote it. The websites deleted the white paper from the Bitcoin Core code repository.
But now, in defiance of the self-proclaimed inventor of Bitcoin, the white paper appears on the Estonian e-Residence program website and is entirely available to anyone who wants to consult it. The official account pronounced this action on Twitter. The authorized account of the Estonian Government accepted the challenge of publishing the document.
The e-Residence program provides an easy way to get both visa and citizenship to entrepreneurs seeking to join the European country’s digital space. Hoping to promote its crypto-friendly nature, The Estonians see the white paper as a sign of support for the industry.
Colombia and The United States are Joining the Team
Other countries are replicating what Estonian e-Residence did with the white paper. In Colombia, Jehudi Castro, former Deputy Minister of Digital Economic, announced on Twitter that he published a link through the Government of that country’s website, which redirects to the Bitcoin white paper.
In the United States, Congressman Patrick McHenry, a senior member of the Congressional Financial Services Committee, posted a white paper PDF on his government page. The senior official is empowering other members of the Government to do it for the sake of innovation in America.
McHenry’s request was echoed by Miami Mayor Francis Suárez, who announced that the Municipal Government’s website already houses the Satoshi White Book.
One of the most relevant features of cryptocurrencies is the way it spreads, as well as decentralization. Both elements allow the network to strengthen itself in moments of adversity by distributing its core through hundreds of nodes worldwide.
CSW is not stepping back its legal process. After all these events, he will now need an entire army of lawyers to sue all the organizations, companies, and even countries hosting the original Bitcoin white paper, created by Satoshi Nakamoto.
Wright maintains his posture as the creator of Bitcoin, but none of these claims are true nor have enough proof to be true. The cryptocurrency ecosystem continuously disagrees with the statements of CSW, even calling him Faketoshi (false Satoshi), a label that usually becomes a trending topic on Twitter.
