New Statue of Satoshi in Switzerland

[Jating]

That is the new statue of Satoshi Nakamoto revealed in Lugano Switzerland.

Design looks cool, depending on the perspective, the statue will disappear, just like Satoshi himself. Also it pertains on Bitcoin's privacy and (psuedo)-anonymity.

And this could be the second statue dedicated to him, Three years ago, Hungary became the first nation to build a Statue of Satoshi.

In my opinion, this could become a tourist attractions especially those people who are into Bitcoin and loves to travel. it's not everyday you can see an art being that is dedicated to Satoshi Nakamoto the creator of Bitcoin. The idea of the statue disappearing is good since no one knows about Satoshi Nakamoto's real identity. I wonder what other people will think about this statue created on Switzerland. Hope this brings more people into Bitcoin.

You think there will be much attached to this?
Well, i don't think so because this is only statue design as representation of Satoshi disappearance but this doesn't mean is directly pointing at Satoshi but instead it's a kind of pictures or images that narrates bitcoin creator being unknown and undiscoverable, though it would create more awareness over there as people could picked much more interest in bitcoin since it's attracts more attentions.

It can't be a statue of Satoshi because it doesn't look like Dorian Nakamoto, Craig S. Wright or Peter Todd. Joking aside, I like the statue. Lugano, Switzerland is one of the pioneer cities for Bitcoin.
The creator is Valentina Picozzi, if you want to see her other works check out her instagram account. There is also interesting content on the Satoshi Gallery account which this piece is a part of from what I understand.

Really cool artwork. This is what modern art is about. I love the use of design to portray what Satoshi Nakamoto represents. I am very glad that artists are using their skills to spread more awareness about Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin, and just Crypto in general.

Any artwork is welcomed but even without the concept of Satoshi Nakamoto, this is an intelligent and well executed design.

And this could be the second statue dedicated to him, Three years ago, Hungary became the first nation to build a Statue of Satoshi.

This community is full of talented and creative individuals. Glad to see how creativity can be applied in a fintech kind of industry.

The design is incredibly symbolic, how it can disappear depending on the angle aligns perfectly with Satoshi's elusive identity and the core values of Bitcoin's privacy and pseudonymity. It shows the global appreciation for Bitcoin’s mysterious creator. It's amazing to see how public art is capturing the spirit of blockchain and decentralization!

It's fascinating to see how Satoshi’s legacy is being honored globally, with Hungary taking the lead three years ago. These statues are more than just monuments; they’re symbols of the revolutionary impact Bitcoin has had on the world. Thanks for sharing!

Looks like this was made for the third annual Lugano's blockchain event[1]. If I read this correctly looks like the city, Tether, and Plan B Initiative are the ones who commissioned this statue. Tether's CEO comments are quite ironic since I don't think Tether is a good representative for decentralized finance. Anyway looks like this status will stay at Lugano and probably become an attraction for the annual event in the future.

Many might think that it's the actual statue of Satoshi. But it's not about the looks but it's about the symbolism that the creator of that statue wants to relay to everyone who will see it.

Let's appreciate that there are people and government that are appreciating satoshi in this means. If the maker of it has been a "son of bit since 2008" based on her website and she's really into it.

This is her way of contributing to what has been done by satoshi or whoever she wants to reflect with that statue, it's a great piece of art.

In recent years, monuments to Satoshi Nakamoto have been appearing more and more often. There seems to be some kind of trend around this topic. Do people really want to see some kind of symbolism of freedom in this? Perhaps this is true. For how many centuries has the planet's population been enslaved by various despots, and now there is a small hope that this situation can be changed. I like it when freedom is expressed in this way.

I like the creativity of the designer Valentina Picozzi. His ability to create a bronze statue that fades based on the angle you view it from is commendable. The first statue unveiled in Hungary, Budapest is also made of bronze but does not have the unique features of this one located in Lugano, Switzerland. Satoshi deserves to have his statue in more countries because his invention revolutionised the world. The Mayor of Lugano Michele Foletti is taking advantage of the significance of the statue to promote his city as a crypto hub, that's creativity.

I guess most Bitcoiners around the location will want to see the artwork, hence it will gradually grow to become a tourist attraction. It will also be good for Bitcoin awareness because some people who have never heard about Bitcoin might become aware if they see the statue.

Sathosi managed to hide his identity with a period of years (above 10 years) and maybe for as long.

I agree with the idea that the statue presents without identity and prioritises symbolic, vision and mission of bitcoin for personal / personal and can be used for general transactions. Involving money but protecting the owner (supposedly).

I think satoshi is currently observing what he is creating, now bitcoin is becoming common and used by users in the world even though not all, bitcoin is very useful.

How easy it is to transact to different countries if people already know bitcoin, an amazing pioneer. The rest I really support various celebrations because of the enthusiasm of users who appreciate events about bitcoin and its creators.

With the news that some countries have already made a statue of him, it’s probably better if he stays anonymous to keep his legacy as Bitcoin's creator intact. It’s another victory for the Bitcoin community since this statue shows respect for Satoshi’s contribution.

Makes me wonder if El Salvador will make one too, especially since they’ve already made Bitcoin legal tender.

[asriloni]

The statue looks very unique, and the message is well delivered. It captures the mystery of Bitcoin's creator. He changed the view of digital economics. Anyone might interpret it in different ways. But I love that this statue uses a unique underlining theme instead of other one.

It seems Satoshi is getting even more popular. There may be lots of statue about him to come soon.

Why would El Salvador erect a monument to Satoshi? The government of that country has already paid tribute by making Bitcoin legal tender. Yes, this experiment may not have been a great success, but it is a start. I have been following the situation in El Salvador closely enough and can say that this situation does not make any sense, as it turns out. Therefore, many countries do not take any measures against crypto. Simply put, Bitcoin does not pose a particular threat to the financial system.

Yeah, it’s a unique design, and I love how it really emphasizes the whole anonymous vibe. Since no one’s ever actually seen Satoshi, we’ll probably see all kinds of designs pop up in the future. Who knows, maybe one day there’ll even be a contest, and Satoshi might award the winner with some Bitcoin! We can’t say for sure, but these people creating Satoshi statues might just have something cool coming their way someday.

And it is also the question why Switzerland erect a monument to Satoshi? And Hungary for that matter?

My point is that regardless of what country it is, there will be people who are going to erect anything in honor of someone. And probably people are banking that if there is a country that will really have Satoshi's statue, it could be the first country that has accepted Satoshi's creation to be their legal tender. Not a county in Europe or any other else.

So we much as well appreciate the creation of  Valentina Picozzi and I do agree that it could be a tourist spot in the country.

What made you think it was a statue of Satoshi or representing Bitcoin? I can interpret it as being for the dark web or hackers or anything else, as there is no Bitcoin logo on the laptop or on the programmer's clothes or any details related to cryptocurrencies.


Here the details are clearer and you can easily see that they are related to Bitcoin.

There was no logo but there's this...

This is good for the popularization of Bitcoin, maybe those who are not familiar with Bitcoin, seeing this statue, will start to be interested in who it is installed in honor of and thus discover Bitcoin. And the design is well thought out, once again emphasizes that Satoshi still remains an anonymous person, which no one can reveal, and I think that most likely it will remain so. Switzerland has always been loyal to Bitcoin, so it is not surprising that they became the second country to install a statue of Satoshi.

[SickDayIn]

That is really cool, love how the perspective changes how the statue is interpreted.
