71 sats \ 6 replies \ @ek 17 Mar \ on: I'm losing my faith (II) bitcoin
Unlike Michael Saylor, Bukele (another reference in the Bitcoin space) has at least shown... an address on the blockchain where there are some Bitcoin.
Good point, Bukele could sign a message that proves they own this address. Just sharing an address is not enough.
I actually think I never saw anyone sharing signatures instead of just addresses?

Bukele can't sign any message from that wallet because he's not in control. Bitfinex is in control

It can be done. You sign a message "This are El Salvador's Bitcoins" with the private key of the wallet. Then you publish the generated token in Twitter and people can verify if the message has been signed by the address' private key containing the Bitcoin.

I know it can be done, that's why I am asking why no one seems to do it.
