     <li><strong>Craig Wright, the self-proclaimed Satoshi Nakamoto, has filed a new lawsuit against Bitcoin Core developers demanding a sum of 911 billion pounds.</strong></li>
     <li><strong>The lawsuit is based on the claim that the $BTC ticker was used without his permission, causing a stir in the crypto community.</strong></li>
    </ul>
    <hr>
    <p>Craig Wright, notorious for his controversial claims of being Satoshi Nakamoto, has initiated new legal actions against the <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/bitcoins-price-drop-shakes-investor-confidence-investor-eye-these-5-altcoins-for-guaranteed-1000x-surge/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> ecosystem. This time, his lawsuit targets the developers of Bitcoin Core and Square Up Europe Ltd., accusing them of unauthorized use of the $BTC ticker. The demand: a staggering 911 billion pounds. Wright’s legal maneuvers follow a decisive defeat in British courts, which ruled he had no legal claim to the cryptocurrency.</p>
    <h2 id="legal-audacity-and-strategic-self-representation">Legal Audacity and Strategic Self-Representation</h2>
    <p>In a bold move, Wright has decided to represent himself in this case, without the assistance of lawyers. This decision adds an extra layer of intrigue, especially following a clear judicial defeat. Judge James Mellor had dismissed Wright’s previous claims as unfounded and described his legal efforts as</p>
    <blockquote>
     <p>“empty rhetoric.”</p>
    </blockquote>
    <p>The new lawsuit underscores Wright’s assertion that he wants to</p>
    <blockquote>
     <p>“save the origins of Bitcoin”</p>
    </blockquote>
    <p>and accuses the Bitcoin Core developers of taking narrative control and altering the original vision of <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/bitcoin-etfs-struggle-with-withdrawals-ethereum-surges-analysts-say-dogen-could-be-the-next-breakout/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a>. In a challenging statement, Wright claims he would drop all lawsuits if Bitcoin Core could prove its loyalty to Satoshi Nakamoto’s original concept.</p>
    <p>The legal conflict between Wright and the <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/will-the-absence-of-u-s-investors-slow-down-the-bitcoin-bull-market/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a> Core developers is not just a battle for financial compensation but also a fight over interpretive authority and the future direction of Bitcoin.</p>
