I saw this post in this forum few months ago, and that’s how I got to know that there was a statue of satoshi nakamoto in Hungary. Then As of recently, this month, I saw a news that the statue has been unveiled.
Satoshi nakamoto did a good thing for us and it’s really nice to see his work being appreciated by people.and the quote that says that we all are satoshi nakamoto goes to show that we are all equal in this community. With a recognition like this, a lot of people will get to know about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency in general, and they will get to know who’s Satoshi Nakamotois, because the news will carry this everywhere.
Topic: Satoshi Statue in Hungary (Read 825 times)
I love the idea of the sculptors to make it as bronze and reflect on whoever looks at it, technically, we can all claim ourselves as "Satoshi", quite true, technically, we all hold an amout of BTC, but I'm pretty sure that it doesn't only stick to one definition, also, I wonder how big this statue is?
Statue looks awesomely clean and nice but it doesn't seem to resemble any of the Satoshi images that flooded the Internet and in which we seem to be familiar with out there.
Since Satoshi's true identity has never been verified nor revealed, none of these images mean anything. According to media reports, the sculptors purposely textured the statue's undefined face with a mirror-like finish in order to convey the idea that "we are all Satoshi". I like that idea for a number of reasons. Art is very much about nuance and symbolism. And Satoshi, as symbolized by the statue, represents the global community of Bitcoin users.
Of course I'm fully aware of that, just thinking out loud and wondering if this Satoshi will ever get to reveal his identity.

But the way that Satoshi delivers the messages and how he chose the name Satoshi which is a masculine Japanese name, I mean does he or she really have to go to such length to throw away the scent? Plus it's a hooded statue so it's pretty much a unisex since any gender can wear a hoodie.
when I looked at the satoshi statue wearing the hoodie I saw a figure that couldn't be guessed whether it was a woman or a man. the maker of the statue must know that satoshi is a true anonymous, there is no definite report whether he/she is a woman or a man but what is certain is that satoshi has changed the world with bitcoin. It appears that Hungary already has a statue of an anonymous character wearing a cloaked hoodie. There is a full-size bronze statue that depicts "Anonymous" at the
That is interesting and it appears it was dedicated to anonymous notary of Hungrian King Bela III - Anonymus Bele regis notarius, you can see that written in stone.I know other countries around that world that have statues for unknown soldiers and heroes also, so we can see the symbolism with Satoshi as our own hero
Yes, you are right. After doing more research I had to give my post a little more context. Budapest has some really interesting things to offer.
As for our "hero," Satoshi, I expect more to come like this around the world. Bitcoin has made financial independence possible for many; I'm sure at least some will wish to pay tribute to the creator in some way.

Ok. It's also a good idea, everyone is Satoshi. But I still feel that Satoshi in the statue is a man.We cannot know Satoshi's gender. Given his anonymity, the statue should be a Unisex statue.

That's indeed interesting, but they should've made it 197.5 centimeters instead 
I had that same thought and I had to repeat that video several times to confirm what he said, but taller statue would mean that more people could not look at statue mirroring face, and that was the whole point - we are all Satoshi.It appears that Hungary already has a statue of an anonymous character wearing a cloaked hoodie.

The sculpture of Anonymous can be found in Vajdahunyad Castle. It portrays the anonymous author of Gesta Hungarorum (Deeds of the Hungarians), a Polish historian who was later named Gallus Anonymus. It was created by Miklós Ligeti in 1903 and it was donated to the Hungarian nation by Franz Joseph I.

Satoshi is anonymous and desires a completely decentralized system. It is better to make 10 statues or 100 Satoshi statues in the premises where the statue is located.
I think it's the same for this one, they molded it into a person that can look like a generic mannequin, meaning that it still delivers the same message, that anyone can be Satoshi.Satoshi is anonymous and desires a completely decentralized system.

Read the news yesterday. It's a smart move. I think Hungary may even become next place of interests that Cryptofans would like to visit most. Also, political leaders hold positive attitude towards crypto, which is good for mass adoption.
Satoshi deserves to be honored because he has a huge part in the growth of the economy because of his contribution to digital money creation. We should all be grateful because he has created something that could provide us financial freedom. It's a good thing that Hungary honors him this way. I hope that most countries would do the same.
I just noticed is that they should use other components aside from bronze because that is not a good thing in a long time
Yes, over time it will turn green. No biggie.
I hope though that the reflective part will not be bronze. But the rest being bronze is fine... will simply make the new statue get to a similar look to many other known statues in Budapest.
That is good, because the more the greener it is the more history it tells to everyone! This statue is good initiative for the time being bitcoin is at it's best and will be good symbolic representation to the kids and new generations to come. This could be very small stuff for many but I know, a pictorial representation of anything can bring quicker and long lasting attention especially to the kids. This will spark the thought process of Satoshi, Bitcoin and crypto to the back of their minds and boom you have new satoshi's playing around.
Lets applaud the government, at least they are respecting the crypto space here. Inhere, we do need such small foot steps so that spark of the bitcoin could be kept alive forever.
Thanks for the info. Really happy to see such an initiation. A gratitude towards Satoshi. Seriously heartfelt thanks to Satoshi for introducing such a wealthy platform. Wish to see this statue if time permits. I am sure more and more statues would again arise either duplicating this figure or a new getting invented on Satoshi. I really admire the current design man. Really amazing. Thanks to both who sculptured it.
This is a good initiative Such initiatives will be useful to gain cryptocurrency contacts. I congratulate their initiatives. Thank you to Hungary for meeting Satoshi Nakamoto. If I ever had the chance to go to Hungary and see that statue.

Yeah dude, everyone has already said that already, I mean in the movie Batman, he isn't made of mirror but they still built a statue for him but he still got his statue and the meaning behind the anonymity is that everyone can be Batman, I think it's the same for this one, they molded it into a person that can look like a generic mannequin, meaning that it still delivers the same message, that anyone can be Satoshi.

Interesting thing they said is that statue is 175 cm tall because the year when Satoshi was born is 1975 (according to his forum profile).
That's indeed interesting, but they should've made it 197.5 centimeters instead - I thought they were referring to his profile here, but it appears to be on "another forum".
Like most of the other users, I do like the sculptor's main idea [reflection part], but they should've sculpted some sort of an eye mask [or an anonymous mask] as well and I wish they would've gone with an orange logo instead [I wouldn't be surprised if another shitcoin pops out and uses that BTCitcoin logo, with that exact color as theirs].

Wow, I am not sure how I missed this. I will always feel blessed that I was one of the earlier ones in to the bitcoin space and that I was able to find and spend a good bit of time on the very website that Satoshi created and spent many hours conversing with the members on making bitcoin and making it better. I always wonder if Satoshi is out there reading any of these comments/posts/topics we are creating here. One of the greatest mysteries of all time!
It will be like looking at the face of Medusa, he will instantly turn to stone and crumble
PS
I hope Faketoshi Craig Wright will not be allowed to look at this statue
