Jimmy Nguyen and Craig Wright presented at the Japan Blockchain Conference 2019

There is hardly any person more controversial in the cryptosphere than Craig Wright. Some would say there is not a person more ridiculed. Of course, this is due to his self-identification as the main part of the team that created Bitcoin, and his claiming that he is the identity behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, the author(s) of the Bitcoin whitepaper.

Our savvy conference organizers put Jimmy Nguyen, the CEO of nChain Group, and Craig as the last presentations on a tightly packed schedule, thus ensuring that nobody leave early. They also did not allow for video recordings, so unfortunately we can only present audio. It should suffice, though, for you to form your own opinion.

….and in case you were wondering: Vitalik did not attend this conference, so there are no “fireworks” during Craig’s presentation.
