A country of less than 10 million people has unveiled the world’s first statue of Satoshi Nakamoto.
A statue of Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous creator of Bitcoin BTC/USD was revealed on September 16, 2021 in Graphisof Park, Budapest, a city in Hungary.
“The statue is made of bronze, the face is made of a special bronze-aluminum composite, so every visitor can see their own face when looking at Satoshi. We are all Satoshi,” reads the statue’s website.
Satoshi wears a hoodie on the sculpture and has the Bitcoin logo on his chest.
The statue was created to honor Nakamoto. The idea of the statue came from Andras GyorfiPublisher of Kripto Akademia, a Hungarian crypto news site.
“We believe it (bitcoin) has brought something much more important to our world than a decentralized peer-to-peer payment network,” the website reads. “The underlying technology, the blockchain, that Satoshi Nakamoto introduced to the world can really make our lives better.”
Creating the sculpture: Two Hungarian Sculptors Gergely Reka and Tamas Gilly created the statue. The goal was to create a statue in human form while maintaining Nakamoto’s anonymity.
“It’s very difficult to make a portrait sculpture of a person that we don’t know exactly what they look like,” the sculptors said. “I hope that through the language of the sculpture I managed to convey the basic idea of Bitcoin that it belongs to everyone and at the same time to nobody.”
Visiting the statue: The statue is free to visit and open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The group behind the sculpture is accepting donations to their crypto wallets. Donations are used to increase the publicity of the project.
Price promotion: Bitcoin is trading at $16,529.45 at the time of writing.
