Peter McCormack, a prominent figure in the crypto industry and host of the "What Bitcoin Did" podcast, has become the face of the crypto industry's fight against Craig Wright, the controversial creator of Bitcoin SV. McCormack, who has been on the receiving end of Wrights' many libel lawsuits, has had his hands full with deciding on how to proceed with the case.
McCormack has seen immense support from the crypto community, with hundreds of people offering to help with legal costs.
The help he was offered quickly surpassed money-dozens of lawyers, cryptographers, and developers offered their professional help to McCormack.
A previous guest of McCormack's podcast, Lopp offered to fly to the UK and offer his testimony to a judge.

A well-known figure in the crypto industry, Lopp has been an avid critic of Craig Wright on his Twitter profile.
With many seeing his article as the ultimate proof of Wright's lies, Lopp could be an important asset in McCormack's defense.
His detailed research could be used to prove McCormack's case that Wright is a pathological liar whose claims to be Satoshi Nakamoto are no different from the other lies he was caught in.
Many prominent industry figures followed Lopp's lead and offered support to McCormack - Michael Arrington, the founder of TechCrunch and CrunchBase, told McCormack that he was protecting the entire crypto community by standing up to Wright.
