Topic: New Statue of Satoshi in Switzerland (Read 505 times)
I've watched a video of it, and I really like the way it's made. It's abstract enough not to suggest anything specific about who Satoshi is, and the whole thing about perspective and Satoshi being almost invisible is smart and lovely. Switzerland is a beautiful country, and the place where the statue is displayed looks lovely. It's a great balance that contemporary art is sometimes lacking: the balance between abstractness and specificity.
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.
Brilliant idea, what a truly amazing design, uniquely the faceless statue can only be seen clearly from the side, while people looking from the front or back will see it vaguely, because there is a gap in the design, the theme of the design depicts the mysterious figure of Satoshi. Created by Italian artist Valentina Picozzi, the statue captures both the mystery and the enduring legacy of Satoshi. It has not been decided where the statue will be displayed but it will remain part of the permanent collection of the Parco Ciani in Lugano.

Well, that's what Craig S. Wright's face now, eh?
Jokes aside, based on a quick google search, around 14% of the total population in Switzerland is holding any cryptocurrency: LINK. I guess having a statue increases the adoption because many will be curious on what the statue is and what's it being represented hence, many might try and do some research about cryptocurrency or even just Bitcoin only. Will we be seeing more of these in the future in different countries? I mean Switzerland has been known for being a crypto-friendly country so, I guess those other countries that are also crypto-friendly as well might do it?
Whatever the case is, I can't believe that that's now the face of Fake-toshi.

This is an amazing and good initiative. I'm curious is this organize and done by the government of Switzerland or this is an initiative by the civilians?
If every I will visit Switzerland, my dream country, I will take a picture here and next to Hungary just for this statue.
For sure other countries will follow what Switzerland and Hungary did.

Nice thing to see a new Statue of Satoshi situated in Lugano, that signifies the presence of bitcoiners in the city. Also, Lugano is a fast growing Bitcoin hub and over 100 merchants use the lightning network for payment. So, having a sculpture of Nakamoto there will invite more crypto users to the country. The image shows transparency, and anonymity, a true explanation of Bitcoin founder.
Switzerland as a whole is a Bitcoin friendly country especially with the city of lugano, I could remember one time when I saw in the Bitcoin magazine when the major of the actually bought some coffee and paid with Bitcoin as shops and business have implemented Bitcoin as a payment method which is a major progress in terms of Bitcoin world adoption. The new statue of Satoshi further verifies the true friendly nature of that community towards Bitcoin.
If people knew much about bitcoin, they will actually get attached with this statue knowing Satoshi is the person behind the innovation of bitcoin. People will definitely pay tribute to this. However, for those who aren’t seeing Satoshi as a significant one, this statue won’t definitely makes sense. Just like the real Satoshi, people who haven’t introduced into bitcoin will never pay tribute or recognize bitcoin as a highly valuable asset to mankind.
This new statue of Satoshi in Switzerland is actually signifying many things. It shows that Bitcoin and cryptocurrency is making an impact in the globa world. If I didn't know what I know now about the first Satoshi statue in Switzerland, and see such a statue for the first time, it is in itself the awareness i need about bitcoin to get me started and go into the Bitcoin and crypto rabbit hole.
Satoshi's contribution to Bitcoin will forever have a global impact. More of these type of statues will soon be erected in major cities around the world. It will only take some time. This is where creatives for Bitcoin comes in. And as for funding to do this, I believe that there are always funds. It is just to ask the right questions.

This is cool, I saw this on X. I don't know if it's the image of Satoshi or who but it seems that this statue could symbolize Anonymity or Anonymous. And this could have multiple interpretations, but if the creator has said it's Satoshi's image it's pretty good in my opinion.
Even this image has been written about in the local media. From the article I read, this statue is indeed the designer's dedication to Decentralization and financial sovereignty. Another mission is about the digital innovation center that wants to be created in Lugano Switzerland.

The mayor of Lugano can be congratulated for keeping up with the times and planning to make the city a center of digital innovation and the desire for financial freedom. The statue itself, as written by the ambitious project Plan₿ of the Tether company, is truly unique in its depiction. This will allow many people to become interested in the reason for the disappearance of the creator of Bitcoin and to think about their privacy on the network.
The mayor has sparked a lot of interest in bitcoin, and I like how he's creating things that represent digital innovation. Only a few countries can do that, so there are a lot of people applauding him for doing so. I like how the sculpture doesn't even have a face, it was very thoughtful of him to show a symbol of bitcoin, and people actually love it. Not every country will want to do this, but look at what he did to change everything because that place
It will have different meanings; the place will be the heat of the place and the center of attention, and people will want to visit and be inspired to do more; who does not like privacy? Everyone does, and it will also be an investment; there are many people who know bitcoin but know nothing about it, but when they meet people there, they may want to do everything they can to invest.
People will get more interested when they see things like this and that is why positive reviews is very important when it comes to bitcoin as a whole the relevance of having a positive rating have a way of affecting the price of bitcoin.
I quite like that it enables the concept of "We are all Satoshi" by putting yourself behind it:
Quote from: Artist: https://x.com/satoshigallery
Grateful for the opportunity to make a statue of Satoshi Nakamoto for the city of Lugano 🇨🇭displayed in Parco Ciani.
The statue disappears in front of the audience and what’s left of Satoshi in visible “between the lines” (of the code) for all the #bitcoin users.

That was a nice piece of art, but there’s no description explaining the concept behind the statue, right? For me, the statue's design seems to represent disappearance, with the blank design resembling a puzzle. This disappearing aspect reflects the true status of Satoshi, who remains anonymous and will likely stay that way.
By the way, since Satoshi is anonymous, what do you think is the reasoning behind portraying him as male? Why not as female?

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.

I saw this beautiful image from the Satoshi Gallery which is very interesting, but such an artist.
But I like all these statues and tourists who visit this country will definitely get a great idea about Bitcoin. Because there are many secrets hidden inside this statue that Satoshi Nakamatu has a perfect resemblance to. And new investors will surely be attracted to Bitcoin by seeing all these idols, and from other aspects too these idols reveal more different images.
Somehow a shady and mysterious statue, but I like the fade effect, as it changes depending the perspective you are looking to it. Considering the low level of art nowadays, I think this one was creative at least. It would be great to see some BTC statues as well, maybe a Bitcoin coin shining inside a fountain or something like that. Cities and regions which have adopted Bitcoin are the ones which can do this, as Bitcoin has already become part of their history and development.
I see much reasons with what you have said in the aspects of creating a tourist attraction center where all of this Bitcoin statues like the one of Satoshi is placed there as well to remind people and upcoming bitcoiners who Satoshi is and his unknown identity. For me I think the statue in Switzerland would generate more or bring more people to understand what Bitcoin is and find themselves in it, like this would create more awareness to the society provided Bitcoin goes beyond this levels.
I like the statue, first it was Hungary and now Switzerland, if i was to pick which of the statues looks better to me, i would say it is the one in Budapest, Hungary. I like the idea of the statues, especially for BTC tourists who come into these countries, they will have one more spot to visit. It may not be long before we see another statue of Satoshi in a different country.
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.
I agree with this, because I don't know if the true identity of Satoshi has been revealed to be able to get an exact image of him, except for a presumed one like this which would be for the purpose of tourism especially for crypto enthusiast. People will not think any thing much about this because most persons are aware that the identity isn't revealed and this is a mare representation of who the actual person would be. Jump to:
