The problem is that people who claim Craig Wright is a fraud are mostly disorganized. So today we are just going to put it all out on the table.

Ten years ago, on January 12, 2008, the first Bitcoin transaction appeared on the blockchain. Satoshi Nakamoto, the still unknown founder of Bitcoin, sent a test transaction of 10 bitcoins to a cryptographer named Hal Finney. At the time, Finney also ran an early version of Bitcoin mining software in the background on his computer. Both the first transaction and the bitcoins he mined in the background on his old computer are worth about $219,000 at today’s prices.
