Bitcoin’s early adopters may have lost their holdings, but they have not lost their moral clarity. They are the true champions of Satoshi’s vision, and their story is a reminder that the fight for decentralisation, freedom, and financial inclusion is far from over.
Each of these individuals—those who were early adopters of Bitcoin between 2009 and 2011 and who lost interest or failed to protect their holdings due to Bitcoin's shift away from its original vision—have a clear basis to be part of the case.
By relying on BTC Core’s assurances that Bitcoin would support micropayments and financial inclusion, these individuals made decisions that have since led to financial loss as the protocol moved towards high transaction fees and centralised control. Their detrimental reliance on the original protocol’s promises, coupled with the exclusionary changes made by BTC Core, makes them eligible to seek redress. As stakeholders who were misled by the evolution of the network, they can join the case to claim compensation for their financial and operational losses due to the protocol's deviation from Satoshi's vision.
