Craig Wright claimed that Bitcoin is his intellectual property and that all of those that infringed on it are about to be legally prosecuted.

Wright puts Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Cash developers on notice.

In a Feb. 13 post on his website, Wright discussed, in length, his "Original vision" for Bitcoin and how its forks have strayed from it.

According to the post, as the "Sole creator" of Bitcoin, he owns the full rights to the Bitcoin registry.

Wright then went on to say that both Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash, which he called Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin ABC, have sought to use his database without permission.

In a bid to provide backing to his ridiculous claim over the ownership of Bitcoin, Wright said that Bitcoin's centralization is oversold.

According to him, the abstract of the Bitcoin whitepaper, the one he claims to have written, is "Cherry-picked out of context" and often leads to a false view-one that Bitcoin is a completely decentralized system with no point of ownership.

What Bitcoin is, he alleges, is a distributed registry whose property rights belong solely to him.

We are yet to see whether Wright goes ahead with the lawsuits against Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin.

"Cash developers. Having previously seen several of his lawsuits dismissed due to lack of jurisdiction, Wright seemed to have explored this issue in depth. He noted in the blog post that as senior partners in the Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Cash"partnerships" reside within Europe and the U.K., which presents the opportunity to incorporate them in the lawsuit without any "jurisdictional challenges.
