Craig Wright has initiated yet another legal battle, this time targeting Bitcoin Core developers, after the UK High Court dismissed his claim to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the elusive creator of Bitcoin.&nbsp; 
In his new lawsuit <a href="https://caseboard.io/cases/306dc00a-f318-4433-9bbb-f23b1b5d79ec" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">filed</a> in the London High Court’s Chancery Division, Wright alleges that Bitcoin Core developers have misrepresented Bitcoin Cash (BTC) as the original Bitcoin, asserting that Bitcoin SV (BSV) is the true version that aligns with Nakamoto’s original vision. 
This claim comes with an eye-watering demand for damages estimated at £911,050,000,000, around $1.18 billion, calculated based on the market valuation differences between BTC and BSV. 
Bitcoin, which currently trades at around $68,000, and Bitcoin SV, valued at approximately $51.58. His lawsuit highlights the significant impact he believes these changes have had on investor perceptions and market dynamics. 
In his filing, Wright targets the introduction of updates such as SegWit and Taproot, which he argues misrepresent Bitcoin’s intended design. He contends that these modifications have created confusion among investors regarding Bitcoin’s core attributes. 
This latest lawsuit comes after earlier legal challenges that questioned Wright’s claim of being Satoshi Nakamoto, the supposed creator of Bitcoin. The UK High Court has already <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/05/21/judge-rules-craig-wright-guilty-of-grand-scale-forgery/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">dismissed these claims</a> as unfounded. 
Prominent figures in the cryptocurrency community have expressed skepticism about Wright’s claims. Hodlonaut, who won a defamation case against Wright in Norway, criticized the lawsuit as “delusional legal antics.” 
The Coalition of Bitcoin Developers (<a href="https://www.cryptoblogs.io/copa-vs-craig-wright/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">COPA</a>) also believes this legal action will fail, following a pattern of Wright’s previous unsuccessful attempts to assert his identity as Bitcoin’s creator. 
The legal landscape surrounding Craig Wright remains contentious, with his latest lawsuit expected to further polarize opinions in the cryptocurrency community. Many industry members question the legitimacy of his claims, viewing his legal battles as attempts to reclaim authority over Bitcoin’s narrative.
