The Bitcoin whitepaper has been reuploaded to the Bitcoin.org website following Craig Wright’s failed attempt to prove in court that he’s the protocol’s pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto. The website was ordered to take down the PDF in 2021 after Wright successfully sued Cøbra, the anonymous group running the site, over copyright infringement. However, Wright’s copyright victory no longer holds weight as his Satoshi claims, and therefore any claims he wrote the whitepaper, have been spectacularly proven wrong. Bitcoin.org maintainer Hennadii Stepanov announced the Bitcoin whitepaper’s return by sharing a link to the pdf on X (formerly Twitter). Read more: Explained:…

Bitcoin (BTC) has recently rallied to the $72,000 resistance of a 3-month price range and suddenly dropped back to $67,000. This volatility created imbalances in the derivatives market, now weighted toward Bitcoin short-sellers, possibly leading to an impending short squeeze.

On a separate and unrelated issue, NuGenesis also complained about FTX calculating the price of its proprietary token, NuCoin, at $0 as of November 11, 2022. More relevant…
