Episode notes

Dr. Craig S Wright is an Australian/Antiguan computer scientist, businessman, and inventor, who challenges the world with visionary ideas. Dr. Wright asserts he is the creator of Bitcoin and author of the Bitcoin white paper under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. He is one of the earliest minds behind what we now know as blockchain technology and established nChain to unleash the technology and its intended purpose—now preserved in the form of the Bitcoin SV Node reference implementation and Bitcoin SV.

In this episode, Robert and Craig cover numerous interesting topics, including Greek philosophy and Japanese history, discussing if the modern world could be repeating some of the mistakes from the past. They also talk about Craig's life journey and some of the things he has gone through to get to where he is today, including one surprising career choice. Craig also tells us the story of what inspired him to come up with the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto and how his knowledge of computer science, law, statistics, and economics gave him the tools to create Bitcoin.

Craig recently returned to Twitter and regularly engages with his followers on various topics, including, as you'd expect, blockchain, CBDCs, and the politics surrounding it. Craig has a low tolerance for trolls and time wasters and doesn't hesitate to block them. Despite Craig's formidable public reputation, this interview exposes a softer underbelly showing Craig to be highly personable under the right circumstances with his broad range of knowledge, making for a fascinating conversation.
