Crypto Supporters Boycott Wright’s Blockchain Conference Attendance

The crypto supporters and prominent members of the community announced to be boycotting Wright’s attendance on the London Blockchain Conference by not coming to the event at all as we are about to read further in the blockchain news today.

The CC forum on Blockchain, digital innovation, and AI starts in London and Craig Wright is one of the scheduled speakers and he will show up on the conference as the true inventor of the number one cryptocurrency. the crypto supporters won’t attend the conference because they refuse to give credence to his claim that he invented bitcoin. The event is moderated by Max Studennikoff and despite Wright, on the panel, you will be able to see Brock Pierce, Tone Vays, Bobby Lee and Nouriel Roubini. Wright received a lot of negative attention for having claimed that he is Satoshi Nakamoto who invented Bitcoin and what is worse, the event even credits him by asking him what was the purpose of the Bitcoin whitepaper.

Also, a lot of prominent figures decided to fight against this decision and even the official page of BitMEX on Twitter posted a reminder of court rulings and fraud accusations against the self-proclaimed BTC creator. Another popular figure that will attend the event is the founder of Litecoin, Charlie Lee who said:

‘’Many of us pledged not to attend a conference that invites faktoshi. Yet you still plan to share the same stage with him. Shame.”

Tone Vays is also a popular crypto analyst and commentator and he has defined himself as the Bitcoin maximalists but being featured on a panel with Wright caused a huge backlash from the crypto community. A lot of the people criticized Vays for accepting the invitation to speak alongside Wright. He did boycott another conference back in May held in New York saying that he found the concept of a ‘’Bitcoin conference by shitcoiners hypocritical as we reported in the previous crypto news.’’ Vays claims that he didn’t know Wright was coming to the panel until the last moment but he also pledged to defend Bitcoin against scammers. He also said that he is the last Bitcoin maximalist standing and that not going to the conference will bring nothing good for the attendees.
