Not exactly. Just having a scriptSig (signature script) doesn't make you the owner.

To truly own that address, you need the private keys that can generate valid signatures for transactions from it.

If you've got those keys, then yeah, you're the boss of that address. 🔑👑💼

Valid signatures are like digital proof you got the keys to authorize a Bitcoin transaction.

They show you're legit without revealing your actual private key. It's all math magic – cryptography in action!

So, valid = the network gives it a thumbs up. 👍✨🔐

Are these considered valid signatures?
