He says he was Satoshi and he did it because he wanted privacy. Yet for the last few years he has done nothing but court attention and fame. If he is Satoshi, sign a message with an early block, one mined in the first 6 months and I will believe him, until then I don't. The important bit is that it doesn't matter anyway, Satoshi Nakamoto was the inventor or creator but he is not the controller. If Craig is Satoshi and he envisages a different type of bitcoin then so be it, but if he created bitcoin then he did so knowing that he could not control it once it was released. Perhaps he thinks he can move value from bitcoin to bitcoin SV but if he really wanted to destroy bitcoin and create a replacement then he would just need to move all of Satoshis mined bitcoin to an exchange, that movement alone would crash the price even if he didnt sell any himself, but perhaps that may also destroy bitcoin SV because as a fork he would own the same amount of bitcoin SV and could do the same to that fork at any point.
