If there was any lingering possibility that Craig Wright could still be Satoshi, this pretty much settled the question for me once and for all, from the "talk" you posted from Future of Bitcoin dated 30 June 2017. A direct quote:

"Very simple; very easy: good! When every single person on this globe pays for their cup of coffee---pays for their whatever they want---every day using one single central currency (and I'll say central; one distributed central currency) that is not controlled, that is hard money.

That's what Bitcoin is about: hard central controlled, no one can change, money."

To anyone with even a passing familiarity with Bitcoin, this makes obvious that he very simply doesn't understand what Bitcoin is. I mean, not even a little bit. Not even superficially. If this doesn't settle the question for everyone, once and for all, there is little point in further discussing Craig Wright, or for that matter anything related to Bitcoin.

The transcript is off. And biased (Co-author of the http://Bitcoin.org developer documentation)

It excludes his self correction.

"distributed central currency"

Merely using the word "central" to describe Bitcoin betrays that he hasn't even the faintest clue what it is or how it works.
