Australian Computer Scientist Craig Wright Denies Being Satoshi Nakamoto in New Song
Australian computer scientist Craig Wright has long claimed to be the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. However, his assertions have been met with skepticism and legal challenges. Now, musician Jonathan Mann has released a song titled “Craig Wright Is Not Satoshi,” which directly challenges Wright’s claims.
Mann, known as the “Song-a-Day” man, holds the Guinness World Record for writing and recording a new song every day for 15 years. He has also ventured into selling his daily songs as NFTs. His latest song focuses exclusively on Wright’s disputed claims to the Bitcoin legacy.

Mann’s song was made available for purchase as a single-edition NFT. After receiving four bids, it was eventually auctioned off for 0.12 ETH (approximately $198). The release of the song coincided with renewed interest in Wright’s claims when the Twitter account “@satoshi” posted for the first time in five years.
Controversy Surrounding Craig Wright
Wright has faced criticism from industry leaders who believe his claims to be an attempt to imitate the real Satoshi Nakamoto without evidence. Former nChain CEO Christian Ager-Hanssen recently resigned after alleging that Wright had manipulated documents to create a false impression of his involvement in Bitcoin’s creation.
Despite his persistent claims, Wright has never been able to produce the private keys to Satoshi’s Bitcoin address, which would provide concrete proof of his assertions.
Jonathan Mann’s Catchy Jingle
Mann’s song humorously addresses these controversies and updates surrounding Craig Wright. In one verse, he sings, “Just because he has the handle, doesn’t mean he is Satoshi. He’s just some Australian guy who’s probably gonna sue me.”
Hot Take: Craig Wright’s Ongoing Battle
