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.
Satoshi's personal page does not indicate gender

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. 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.
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

This bronze statue located in Graphisoft Park was sculpted by Gergely Réka and Tamás Gilly. When sculpting this statue, the pair really wanted to capture the mantra of “we are all Satoshi,” making Satoshi’s face reflective, so when you look at the statue you remind yourself that you play just as an important role in Bitcoin as Satoshi and everyone else does. This is also because the gender, height, weight, and age of Satoshi Nakamoto are unknown — making it impossible to sculpt a descriptive face of whoever Satoshi was.

Hungary will be the first country in the world with Satoshi Nakamoto life-size bronze statue built in Budapest city 3rd disctrict, Graphisoft Park.
Initiator for this project András Györfi said that Satoshi real identity is not important and two sculptors working on this are Réka Gergely and Tamás Gilly and they are creating hooded figure representing Satoshi,
with reflective face surface that will show face of each person that looks at this figure, representing famous phrase ''we are all Satoshi.''
Graphisoft Park is European version of Silicon Valley, they have other statues for Steve Jobs, Rubik's Cube, and this new statue is sponsored by Mr. Coin, Crypto Academy, Blockchain Hungary Association, Blockchain Budapest with other organizations and individuals.

On first read of the subject I thought the real Identity of Satoshi is been revealed. I believe that this is a great idea from the sponsors and i like the idea of the reflecting face of anyone that looks at the statue and what it represent. I believe it is a matter of time when the global awearness of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general will be felt all around. 
I've watched (a bit late, I know, thanks for the link) the unveiling, and I also glanced at the comments too.
The comments were varying from "wonderful" to "it looks like me" or "it looks like Terminator". And I somewhat agree with them, since I also had higher expectations.
The statue is not bad at all, the fact there's a statue of Satoshi there is great (I'll surely visit it one day), but I expected... something else.
I see it like a monk with BTCitcoin badge, instead of "we are all Satoshi". Does it indeed act like some sort of mirror as it was said at some point (at least until the first rain)? I kinda doubt it too.

Of all the ideas I very much like this one.
Satoshi's identity is still unknown currently, so this idea is perfect when we look at this statue, it'll makes us think how to find the Satoshi in our selves as we reflect on our Bitcoin asset
especially for the long term hodlers on when will be the perfect time sell everything.

Well, let him look at the statue for him to realize he's not alone because we are all in this.
Amazing. Things are really happening around Bitcoin's creation.
Imagine how much they have valued Satoshi to make a Statue for him.
If there was a way, it'd be great that different material was used; like Silver or Gold. Satoshi deserves more than that.

Sathosi nakamoto is a person who made this amazing technology, I think he deserve it. Many people will curious about him and then more people will know about bitcoin. I hope there are also bitcoin and blockchain statue that explains how blockchain works. Maybe the effect of this statue will be greater than we think.
Statues are made to have remembering the past. Now itself very few are aware about the identity of bitcoin innovator Satoshi Nakamoto. Now a statue getting constructed in Hungary park for a legend is really big. Maybe these countries will be more into the cryptocurrency in the future, because more countries that had an opposing statement have begun to start.
It's not just for remembrance or sentimentality but also for the awareness, statues help the future generations become aware of the past because these statues tell a story and they are also a way to make someone curious and find their calling just by being curious about someone.
This is exciting news. Bitcoin is coming into people's sight step by step, so that more people can understand it. It has to be said that this is of great significance.
Before reading the article, I was thinking about why the statue is like a man, is Satoshi a man based on that statue?
But, after reading the article, I realized that I am wrong with my first judge on this statute.
That's unique when I read this:

although the sculpture will have a face, it will be a reflective surface in which everyone can discover their own reflection when they stand in front of it. This reinforces the idea that “we are all Satoshi.”
We are all Satoshi. I like it very much that idea. So by this way, we will not claim that someone is the right Satoshi, or I am the right Satoshi. because “we are all Satoshi"
Seriously!!
I think that the individual representation has no likeness with the Bitcoin.
The Artist express yourself, it's your way of thinking and given his fame and eventual support from the idea this is extends but he is not necessarily correct.
This is exactly what has us screwed up with bitcoin, thinking about individualism, because you don't make a sphere in a material "shiny" in which anything can be reflected.
Bitcoin does not benefit only individuals, Bitcoin is represented in societies, it is a transforming entity.
It's like doing a "Sigmund Freud" statue and seeing ourselves reflected in his thinking.

Here is a link on the photo of statue of Satoshi Nakomoto in Budapest: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/pphona/satoshi_monument_in_budapest_hungary_soproud/ . To say the truth, I’m disappointed. I expected smth completely different, more interesting and mysterious such as personality of Satoshi is for all of us. But this statue made Him a trivial man.

I do believe that the identity of the man behind Bitcoin which is Satoshi is still unknown so how come will they make a statue of a Man you have never seen in your entire life. I think this is a misrepresentation and in a away. And people are making more confusing on whether Satoshi is still known to anyone or yet unknown.
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).
How do you know that he is 175CM tall, is that part of his profile information too?
I am watching it right now although I don't find any close captions for English, it's all Hungarian so I don't exactly know what they're saying besides the occasional mention of blockchain and it's kind of hard to get the context clues with that one, hopefully there's an English translation after this live broadcast.
They spoke in English language also, not only Hungarian, and I have to say that I like the look of this Satoshi statue.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).

I like the idea of a reflective face and the message that we're all Satoshi (even though we aren't) because the community truly matters. I've been to Graphisoft Park in Budapest, and it's a nice place for this sculpture because it'll be surrounded by the tech industry. That being said, I hope they'll make the sculpture as neutral as possible, so that it doesn't suggest who Satoshi truly is. The sketches look like those of a white male in his mid-30s, not exactly sending the vibe that we have no idea about Satoshi's race, gender or age.
Satoshi Nakamoto is still anonymous no one really knows his face even at a glance, and it is a very good idea to prove that the majority of the Hungarian public and government are bitcoin users which will be an example of proof to other countries that bitcoin is very useful for everyone without have to follow him to make a statue.
and the creation of a statue of Satoshi Nakamoto as a sign of respect that Satoshi Nakamoto offers Bitcoin and Blockchain technology to the world, this news will be very positive news for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and besides being able to increase the price, it can be considered for people who doubt the existence of bitcoin.
I wish I could go there and take a picture with a statue of Satoshi Nakamoto even though it's not a real statue of him.

That would be an historic one. I wonder if it could become more popular than the statue of liberty
On searching, i found The 15 Tallest Statues in the World.
This Satoshi Statue in Hungary would be the sixteen one.
A statue honoring Satoshi Nakamoto is a great idea. "We are all Satoshi" that phrase is like an icon among us.
Well, no one has seen Satoshi Nakamoto so when designing the statue of him, how will they portrait the face of Satoshi ?
I think a fake Satoshi Nakamoto face design will not be liked by many of us.
At first glance I didn't like very much that hooded flat dummy design. But after reading the fully concept I thought very interesting the fact people in front of it will have their faces reflected on the statue's face.
Due to the location where the statue is going to be placed I believe it won't attract too much attention from people who aren't familiar with bitcoin, because that is a technological district, so people around must already know what is bitcoin, how it works and probably they already adopted it. It's a very creative tribute to Satoshi, indeed, but to promote bitcoin not useful at all.

No one sees satoshi as he/she is anonymous, but this statue will still be recognized as it's an effort to support bitcoin and the crypto market. I'm happy with this kind of initiative, I would say it's a smart idea by who created it, for sure, they already made a fortune with bitcoin that's why their support is enormous.

Wow, it’s a really nice thing. And I like the fact that there is no particular face for it, it’s just going to be a reflection of whoever looks at it, meaning that we are all Satoshi Nakamoto. Whenever I see or hear that word, it makes me strongly believe that Bitcoin is here to stay. As long as nobody owns, it was made for everybody, no one controls it, we all do.Putting up a statue like this is going to also help convince a lot of people to invest in Bitcoin and the market will grow from there. Imagine people who will go for a sightseeing there and come across the statue. So this is a really good development.
Satoshi: I better stay anonymous, so they don't worship me as an idol.
Hungarians: I know! Let's turn him into a statue!
Lol, building a statue for someone doesn't mean we worship him/her, a lot of statues are built because they appreciate the impact the person had on people or society. besides, it's not like building a statue will endanger him or anything or people would see satoshi differently. in the end, the statue will just be a form of appreciation, nothing more, nothing less. Hungarians: I know! Let's turn him into a statue!

The reflection of our face in front of the statue would be a pleasant experience, I am already imagining all the selfies that will be taken, so many creative ideas that will also be born.
This would be the second public monument in relation to bitcoin because in 2018 in Slovenia the first monument with the symbol of the B of bitcoin was created.

The sketches look undeniably masculine, it would be nice and really artistic to have
a face which noone could tell if it is male or female and anyone looking at the
reflective surface could relate more to it. Just my thought.
Great concept all the same.

I'm pretty sure the sketch shows a face just for conceptualization purposes. I mean, remember that it's going to have a reflective face; chances are, the face part is just going to be a flat reflective surface because having a nose shape and such is going to distort the reflection. The fact that it's a hooded figure is good too(hopefully draped), because it's going to conceal enough characteristics for people to not distinguish if it's a male or female body.
Confused for a moment there, lol, how can someone make the statue when that person is unknown? But well it seems that the satoshi statue will be faceless? Or will they sculpt random faces? Curious to see how it will goes. Anyway, such an honour for satoshi though, to be able standing by sidr with lots of great people, though he sure is great too and will be really famous if he wanted to reveal himself.
It would be a good idea to spend a minute and actually read what I wrote before posting something like this.Satoshi: I better stay anonymous, so they don't worship me as an idol.
Hungarians: I know! Let's turn him into a statue!
Nobody asked you to make a blood sacrifice, pray and worship this statue, or you are saying that people all around the world are worshiping all statues they have in their cities.Hungarians: I know! Let's turn him into a statue!
Not only him, but the famous Bitcoin pizza guy Laszlo Hanyecz is also Hungarian
You are right, I totally forgot about him, so maybe they should add a bronze pizza when making this Satoshi statue 
And since we're having the Satoshi topic, it's just mandatory that I'd post this:
No matter how many times I see this, it always makes me chuckle It seems like Hungarian is really a crypto lover and I like the idea that they have created a statue of Satoshi Nakamoto, it just means that Satoshi Nakamoto is a really important person in Hungary because they have created his statue
I wouldn't say that Satoshi is important person in Hungary just because few guys decided to put the statue, but rather than he is important to those guys who organized this.It seems like Hungarian is really a crypto lover and I like the idea that they have created a statue of Satoshi Nakamoto, it just means that Satoshi Nakamoto is a really important person in Hungary
You know that Nick Szabo who is living in Unites States has Hungarian origin and he is probably most famous Bitcoiner but I am sure there are more of them who are not publicly known.

I don't see the problem though? It's not like having a statue of him would expose his/her/their identity. And the cool "we are all Satoshi" concept of it definitely removes the idolatry aspect of it.

It's funny that it's Hungary who for some reason honors such satoshi. And if it's the sculpture that's depicted in the picture, it looks cool to some extent
Initiator for this project András Györfi said that Satoshi real identity is not important and two sculptors working on this are Réka Gergely and Tamás Gilly and they are creating hooded figure representing Satoshi,
with reflective face surface that will show face of each person that looks at this figure, representing famous phrase ''we are all Satoshi.''
When i saw this topic title i thought it is going to be some other bullshit claims by a group and declaring someone as Satoshi but this is interesting as Satoshi does not have a face and this is perfect and indeed each and everyone is Satoshi. with reflective face surface that will show face of each person that looks at this figure, representing famous phrase ''we are all Satoshi.''
But personally i do not want to see these kind of statues until he wants to reveal himself publicly until then i wish to leave him alone like he wants to and i wont be surprised if someone creates the church of Satoshi
.

I like the art concept!
Please keep us updated when the statue is placed (maybe with some pictures).
Confused for a moment there, lol, how can someone make the statue when that person is unknown? But well it seems that the satoshi statue will be faceless? Or will they sculpt random faces? Curious to see how it will goes. Anyway, such an honour for satoshi though, to be able standing by sidr with lots of great people, though he sure is great too and will be really famous if he wanted to reveal himself.
You definitely didn't read OP post and probably just read the title. You are not confused or curious, you are just ignorant. Well, personally I did find it confused about how and what it looks like until I read thoughtfully OP post. 
The ps tho.
But seriously, the idea itself by these amazing individuals are just amazing. Specially the "we are all satoshi" thing. I can already see this masterpiece becoming a tourist attraction some time in the near future. Not only that, but this would also trigger curiosity from a variety of people that would be able to witness the said sculpture which can only lead to having more people getting interested with this industry and further hasten the worldwide adoption. I wouldn't even be surprised if same type of sculptures or any art with the same concept pops out in different parts of the world after this.
-Thanks for the good read, sending merit.

If Hungary makes satoshi statues, I think Hungary really cares about satoshi, maybe this is a form of their gratitude, but it would be nice if Hungary made satoshi statues with gold instead of bronze, because in my opinion bitcoin is almost similar to gold, if they put a statue satoshi in the Hungarian capital, it's a very beautiful sight,
you have a point there .Satoshi and btc are too precious to be considered in the level of bronze and bronze don't reflect much .
they are creating a reflecting statue and gold can achieve it better but I found out that silver has the most refection but gold is still more precious .
Hungary cares to the greatest investors not only Satoshi because they even have Steve Jobs and they have their Verry own creator of the Rubik's cube erno Rubik .

I hope Faktoshi isn't sculpted by a craftsman to match the real Sathosi. Lol.
I think this is a tribute to Sathosi from his beneficiary recipients. I also agree with the making of this statue. Even though I've never seen a real person, at least the shape of the statue from the picture depicts it. Because it is still mysterious, his face is also obscured in detail. I hope this statue will be finished soon, apart from being a tourist facility, I think this is also a way to introduce sathosi to the public.

The real Satoshi who doesn't seem to like public attention will probably be pricked in his heart if he sees his name attached to a public hooded statue of face that typically associated with hostile or unfriendly characters
Just wish the "Satoshis" remained unseen or a mystery, probably represented by simple numbers or figures.

This is very interesting and symbolic. The statue of nobody, as we know nothing much about him. Now this remains a piece of history!
Do they have any references about the true face of Satoshi Nakamoto to make that statue close to reality?
It is much greater if they have some information about the true identity of Satoshi instead they should make a statue of bitcoin than Satoshi.
But overall, this idea will really help the promotion of bitcoin in some places like this where bitcoin is legal.

who will provide accurate and completely fact-based information?
everyone has their own version, therefore Gergely and Tamas Gilly do not focus on one particular face character.
And if you have information about Satoshi, I don't think anyone will believe it. It's not like many people from all walks of life claim to be Satoshi, and it's actually just a joke.
Hungary will be the first country in the world with Satoshi Nakamoto life-size bronze statue built in Budapest city 3rd disctrict, Graphisoft Park.
It's interesting that they are putting some effort into memorializing the legend that is Satoshi, however I think the representation should be hidden behind some sort of mask. After all, we do not necessarily know whether the creator of Bitcoin was a man or woman from what I understand we just have a blank alias to go by. Maybe it is just me but the hooded figure in it's current form looks rather masculine , but a statue should represent anonymity and openness. There has to be a better way to achieve higher praise than the rather bland choice they want to establish.
This statue is like a reminder to all of us that nobody is Satoshi and yet everyone is also Satoshi. So CSW is Satoshi and yet he is also not Satoshi. Anybody who shares the vision of Satoshi is Satoshi. But anybody who claims to be the real Satoshi is stupid enough to do that even if he is the real Satoshi himself. So we could consider anybody claiming to be the real Satoshi to be just anybody fooling around.
I wish other countries would be interested about what the fuss is going around about a certain Satoshi Nakamoto.

I salute the country of Hungary, they care so much about bitcoin so they have the idea to make a satoshi statue of the bitcoin maker, it doesn't matter whether it's made of gold or bronze, which I admire with their concern for this satoshi doesn't exist in other countries.
PS
I hope Faketoshi Craig Wright will not be allowed to look at this statue
he'll probably demand that his face should be put in that statue instead of a reflective surface.I hope Faketoshi Craig Wright will not be allowed to look at this statue

No, they have no verifiable identity of Satoshi Nakamoto other than his anonymity with an online worker-style veil. Satoshi's anonymity is still maintained to this day and I'm sure it will be the same for a long time and this concept may be quite memorable for everyone.with reflective face surface that will show face of each person that looks at this figure, representing famous phrase ''we are all Satoshi.''
But overall, this idea will really help the promotion of bitcoin in some places like this where bitcoin is legal.
Perhaps, that's why some people believe that the idea of a Satoshi statue will succeed in attracting people there to know, invest and adopt it.

it's an honor when he says "we are all Satoshi" you know what comes to my mind, that he indirectly upholds Satoshi identity, no matter who Satoshi really is, where he lives, what his nationality is. still be careful that no one claims Satoshi, because basically Satoshi is on all of our computer networks.
The idea of the statue is so cool, I think Bitcoin fans around the world will be super excited. The futuristic statue will be an interesting tourist attraction for crypto enthusiasts to visit. I believe there will be more such statues in the future.
Hungary setting a nice legacy in the crypto industry. It doesn't really matter if the sculpture is satoshi's true identity the concept is to erect a immortalized sculpture for the remembrance of a guru or group of gurus who brought about this gloomy digital and decentralized currency that has forced smiles and add some level of life fulfilment in the journey of a whole lot of persons.
This should send waves around the world with a message saying people appreciate the great innovation that Satoshi initiated and if this continues more countries we follow and make their countries a crypto haven.
I just hope the statue doesn't get any backlash from other people who would be interested in the reference this was based on and the alike...you know we human beings tend to be petty sometimes.
Great initiative Hungary 🇭🇺.

Satoshi: I better stay anonymous, so they don't worship me as an idol.
Hungarians: I know! Let's turn him into a statue!

I want to see what the final version will look like
basically Satoshi Nakamoto is an important figure in the development of technology especially in blockchain and crypto, it was a very good idea to make a satoshi statue out of bronze and what amazed me was his words "Satoshi's real identity is not important and we are all Satoshi Nakamoto.

Sathoshi Indentity is still anonymous and nobody knows any proof regarding him and you must read the @OP details once again to have some clarification regarding this statue.They are making reflective statue which is like shadow will be reflected on the hoodie face whosoever is standing in the position of sunlight which will represent "we all are Sathoshi" which states they just want to portray Bitcoin in the face of all of us not to pay tribute to Sathoshi.So they don't have any proof neither do anyone else.If he want to remain anonymous we should leave him in isolation rather than acting as CIA agents to reveal the dark secrets of his life. It is much greater if they have some information about the true identity of Satoshi instead they should make a statue of bitcoin than Satoshi.
But overall, this idea will really help the promotion of bitcoin in some places like this where bitcoin is legal.
Here are some articles to support my claim and to refute your sarcastic comment. You pretty much didn't think about my concern.
There was nothing sarcastic in my previous post. It's just fact that earth is full of copper, brass and bronze, and copper is also essential mineral for human health if you didn't know that, and you can find it in all kind of food and supplements.Bronze is made from copper and other metals, and should we now stop using all metals, oil, gasoline and meat because someone said that they are all bad for environment?
No need for anyone to put some radioactive toxic metals in Satoshi statue...

I wouldn't like the idea that it will be of bronze knowing that it will be toxic to it's surrounding when the time comes, there should be other options besides bronze statue.
It is so ''toxic'' that earth is literally full of bronze coins, swords and others objects made from bronze and other copper metal alloys. Great idea, and a smart one. It gives one more interesting point to visit in a city I've visited and I like. I guess that I'll have to go there again at some point
I wish they would also make somewhere nearby statues for Hal Finney, Laszlo Hanyecz and maybe others too (dead or alive). It would be quite a sight...
Interesting thing is that Graphisoft Park have many big tech tenants like Microsoft, Canon, SAP, Silicon Labs and it would be interesting to see if some Blockchain companies open offices there after hearing this news.I wish they would also make somewhere nearby statues for Hal Finney, Laszlo Hanyecz and maybe others too (dead or alive).

It could be a smart marketing trick from Hungarians to attract more attention and capital while honoring Satoshi in the same time.
It seems like Hungarian is really a crypto lover and I like the idea that they have created a statue of Satoshi Nakamoto, it just means that Satoshi Nakamoto is a really important person in Hungary
You know that Nick Szabo who is living in Unites States has Hungarian origin and he is probably most famous Bitcoiner but I am sure there are more of them who are not publicly known.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.

This part is cool as heck. Kudos to whoever of them actually thought of the reflective face part.
And since we're having the Satoshi topic, it's just mandatory that I'd post this:
I like the idea especially the reflective face surface but that being said I can't help think that if this statue is also built in different parts of the world, it would start a conspiracy theory on how they are trying to steal our face and possibly Identity through facial recognition.
