These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The crypto arm of payments giant Square<\/li>\n<li>Bitcoin development funder Chaincode Labs<\/li>\n<li>Policy think-tank Coin Center<\/li>\n<li>Facebook subsidiary Novi<\/li>\n<li>Self-custody app Casa<\/li>\n<li>Bitcoin financial services firm NYDIG<\/li>\n<li>Crypto exchange Binance<\/li>\n<li>Crypto data aggregator CryptoCompare<\/li>\n<li>Institutional crypto solutions firm Fidelity Digital Assets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The whitepaper is now also being hosted by several crypto community members. Riccardo \u2018fluffypony\u2019 Spagni, an influential developer known for his work on Monero, created a website specifically to host the whitepaper.<\/p>\n<p>Some also uploaded the document to the \u201cuncensorable web\u201d using the InterPlanetary File System (IFPS) and the Ethereum Name Service (ENS). While Bitcoincore.org seemingly took down its copy of the Bitcoin whitepaper, Bitcoin.org kept it live.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Craig Wright\u2019s lawyers have sent Square a letter that reads they consider uploading the whitepaper a \u201cstraightforward copyright infringement claim.\u201d The letter reads Wright has decided \u201cthat it is time to enforce his copyright in the White Paper.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Featured image via Pixabay.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cryptoglobe.com\/latest\/2021\/01\/bitcoin-community-rallies-to-defend-satoshi-nakamotos-whitepaper\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some of the most prominent voices in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":109332,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
