Please excuse the Craig Wright spam, but this is too good not to share. He accidentally disproved he's Satoshi *yet again*.

In his newest article, Craig says:

Bitcoin is not a cryptocurrency ... At no point have I said that Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, a currency in any form, or anything monetary-wise other than digital electronic cash.

Compare that to when Satoshi announced Bitcoin 0.3:

Announcing version 0.3 of Bitcoin, the P2P cryptocurrency! Bitcoin is a digital currency using cryptography...

Also of note, Craig himself called it a 'cryptocurrency' in one of his faked blog posts supposedly from August of 2008.

I have a cryptocurrency paper out soon.

Of course, that doesn't match Satoshi's recorded thoughts on the word:

In one e-mail, Satoshi pointed to a recent exchange on the Bitcoin e-mail list in which a user referred to Bitcoin as a “cryptocurrency,” referring to the cryptographic functions that made it run.

“Maybe it’s a word we should use when describing Bitcoin. Do you like it?” Satoshi asked. “It sounds good,” Martti replied. “A peer to peer cryptocurrency could be the slogan.”

From: Nathaniel Popper. “Digital Gold.” (That email exchange would have been around mid-2009, almost a year after Craig's totally real blog post.)

I feel like he's not even trying anymore.

Lest anyone get the wrong idea, this post isn't meant as a serious proof that Craig's not Satoshi. That's already been well established. This is simply to point and laugh.
