Today the city of Lugano in Switzerland revealed an incredible statue honoring Satoshi Nakamoto, the anonymous founder of Bitcoin. I found this tribute incredibly inspiring and beautiful.
The statue was unveiled on Lugano’s Plan B conference, which attracts attention with its smart, invisible design. Viewed head-on, it disappears completely, representing Satoshi’s own anonymity. This is an artistic masterpiece that perfectly captures its mystery.
Of course, some bitcoiners like this Mandrik found it disappointing. But art is subjective. To me, this statue brilliantly captures the ephemeral essence of Satoshi using visionary sculpting techniques.
And Lugano was the perfect setting as a leading Bitcoin hub with over 100 merchants accepting Lightning payments.
After visiting Lugano last month and living in Bitcoin using Lightning while you’re thereI’m ecstatic to return now that it houses this iconic Satoshi monument.

This is only the second Satoshi statue worldwide after that Budapest’s impressive effort. We need more inspiring Satoshi tributes to spread his peaceful ideals worldwide.
