Craig Wright’s lawyer confirmed to Decrypt today that Wright does not possess—nor even claim to possess—the private keys that can be used to spend $8 billion of Bitcoin that Satoshi Nakamoto mined in Bitcoin’s early days.
Wright filed a statement in the Southern District of Florida late Tuesday asserting that he had received information to unlock an encrypted file of thousands of public Bitcoin addresses that he claims to own. Wright had previously said, under oath, that an “encrypted file” exists, containing both the list of public addresses and private keys. Many took that to mean that when a courier arrived Tuesday with a file, that at last Wright had received the private keys.
But his lawyer said today that that was not the case.
“The file that he’s received did not include private keys,” Andres Rivero, partner at Rivero Mestre law firm, told Decrypt. However, Wright still expects that he will receive the keys at a later date. Rivero said the keys may come either whole or split into parts, but declined to discuss further the particulars around who has the keys and when they might arrive.

Electric cars and digital currencies are not usually two things that people would think to connect in any way, but they do have a few things in common. Both are considered emerging technologies that can make the world a better place. Both are also becoming increasingly popular around the world.
However, according to a recent video that was posted by some members of the Bitcoin community, they may establish an even deeper connection.
The video in question shows that Tesla cars can also be used for running Bitcoin. Crypto fans used the car’s onboard computer system to turn the electric vehicle into a Bitcoin full node.
As unlikely as it sounds, the attempt was actually successful, and its success was ensured by a project called Bcoin. This is a project that seeks out the alternative implementation of the Bitcoin protocol, which can be used to run a node on any machine. As a result, the Bitcoin network briefly had an entire car, helping with the process of running the world’s largest digital currency.

The Bitcoin network hash rate has reached an all-time high at 126 quintillion hashes per second. By comparison, this time last year, the network was hashing at just 38 quintillion hashes per second.
However, of more considerable significance is what this indicates. And that is a trend towards increasing miner confidence. As such, concerns over miner capitulation, in the run-up to the halving, show few signs of credibility.
Following Bitcoin’s stellar form of late, news of the network’s hash rate reaching another all-time high should come as no surprise.
Over the weekend, the average daily hash rate peaked at 126 quintillion hashes per second. Putting paid to any notion that miners are cautious about the coming halving this May.
Hash rate is a term that refers to processing power on the network. As Bitcoins get mined, transactions need to be “hashed” before being added on to the blockchain ledger.

The past three days have been an absolute whirlwind for Bitcoin, with the price of the leading cryptocurrency whipping between $7,150, $6,400, and everywhere in between, seemingly without rhyme or reason.

According to Bakkt Volume Bot, a Twitter bot tracking the market activity of Bakkt’s Bitcoin derivatives market, the volume the exchange has seen during Wednesday’s trading session so far has surmounted 5,690 BTC — a sum valued at $39.8 million as of the time of writing this article.

Bakkt’s rocketing volumes come hot on the heels of other reports from the volume bot which indicate that open interest in the derivatives contracts has recently passed $6 million — a sign, some say, that institutions are gaining interest in the cryptocurrency market, which itself is a long-term bullish sign.

his explosion in Bakkt’s volume comes as Bitcoin has been subject to a strong bout of volatility, which recently culminated in a move from $6,400 to as high as $7,200 — a 12% range — in under eight hours.

Per previous reports from NewsBTC, this latest bounce has resulted in Bitcoin forming a bullish engulfing candle on its daily chart. This would indicate that a stronger reversal is likely.

That’s not all. We yesterday reported that according to Thomas Thornton, a hedge fund services specialist and market analyst, a Bloomberg chart of Bitcoin with the TD Sequential Combo indicator suggests that BTC’s current candle is on a “buy 13.” This indicates an extended reversal to the upside has a high probability of playing out.
