Unlike the statue in Hungary, which is a bust, this work will be life-size.
Lugano is recognized worldwide as the Bitcoin City of Switzerland.
Lugano Plan B announced the unveiling of a life-size statue of Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin. The presentation will be made within the framework of the Plan B Forum event, to be held on October 25 and 26 in Lugano, recognized as the “Bitcoin City” of Switzerland.
As reported by Plan B, the work will be presented by Satoshigallery, an organization dedicated to art, culture and Bitcoin since 2012.
This statue stands out from the one in Hungary since 2021. The sculpture in Budapest is a bust, the first to honor Nakamoto, with the face made of reflective bronze that allows viewers to see their own faces above the sculpture, symbolizing that “We are all Satoshi.” Instead, the Lugano statue will be full-body and, although no specifications have been revealed, it generates excitement and expectation.
Lugano, known for its open adoption of Bitcoin and its technology, has organized events and encouraged the creation of businesses related to the digital currency, including a bakery that produces Bitcoin-themed panettone, as reported by CriptoNoticias. This new monument adds to the growing Bitcoin culture in the city.
The announcement of Lugano Plan B and the presentation of this statue by Satoshigallery mark a milestone in the history of Bitcoin, not only for the recognition of its creator, but also for the continued integration of the asset into the local culture and economy. The work, even without specific details, promises to be a meeting point for enthusiasts and curious people at the Plan B Forum, highlighting Lugano’s identity as a global hub for Bitcoin.
The Nakamoto statue in Lugano, in addition to being a monument, represents the fusion of art and Bitcoin technology, reflecting Satoshi’s vision of a decentralized and accessible world.
With this action, Lugano reaffirms its position as a reference in the adoption of Bitcoin, beyond El Salvador, where the currency was legally adopted in 2021. The statue of Satoshi Nakamoto It thus becomes a symbol of this digital and decentralized erainviting reflection on the identity and impact of Bitcoin in contemporary society.
The unveiling of the statue coincides with recent debate sparked by an HBO documentary suggesting that developer Peter Todd could be Satoshi Nakamoto, a claim Todd has categorically denied, as reported by this outlet.
The interest in the statue and the Plan B Forum event lies not only in the work of art itself, but in what it represents: a celebration of the innovation, anonymity and decentralization that Satoshi Nakamoto promoted with the creation of Bitcoin.
