Kleiman v. Wright: Bitcoin's Trial of the Century Kicks Off in Miami
At stake: The ownership of Satoshi Nakamoto's 1.1 million BTC.
coindesk.com, 2 Nov 2021
我的分析,目前為止,Kleiman 最有可能是比特幣原創 Satoshi(中本聰),他幾年前不幸去世,引發了這很多疑點的官司。官司牽涉到的資產目前由某人繼承, Kleiman 家屬不服而提出訴訟。中本聰也留下大筆比特幣,形同寶藏一般。根據過去法庭的審案過程,此案訴訟範圍內的人沒有人
持有中本聰寶藏的任何 private key,那是要證明自己是中本聰的條件之一。由於中本聰寶藏所涉及的比特幣數額非常大,如果他還在並動用 private key 做個 transaction ,挪動區區 1sat 就夠證明 private key 是真的,比特幣會馬上大瀉回應。現在比特幣市值那麼高,
意思是市場對中本聰不動用他的 private key 的信心非常大,各種審案的過程中,某人要以政權法律宣判來取得中本聰確認地位,然後要求法庭發停令施壓比特幣技術組織特別做硬叉(hard fork)把中本聰寶藏轉到自己口袋中(身份還沒法律確認就有人這樣做了),就算是 Core 組織配合做硬叉,比特幣持有者廣大共識下是不會
吃這一套。之前已經有兩次大硬叉,其中一個涉及 Kleiman 的朋友,兩者都宣稱自己是真正比特幣的原創概念繼承者,後來當然還是得到廣大共識的比特幣繼承比特幣的價值和精神,其它硬叉下產物幾乎全部都是屎幣,這就是分散式共識機制的美妙,超越國界,超越一切法律,code is law。
