Unveiling of the Statue of Satoshi Nakamoto in Lugano

Unveiling of the statue of Satoshi Nakamoto in Lugano honoring the vision and legacy of the anonymous creator(s) of Bitcoin. Long live Bitcoin!

A statue honoring the anonymous creator(s) of Bitcoin was unveiled in the small Swiss city of Lugano on Friday.

The statue, which depicts a figure sitting on a bench with a laptop in hand, was inaugurated during the 3rd annual Plan B forum in the city. The forum is a collaboration between Lugano and Tether, the world’s largest stablecoin by market capitalization.

“The statue is a tribute to the vision and legacy of Satoshi Nakamoto, whose creation of Bitcoin sparked a technological revolution that continues to empower individuals and transform the global economy,” the city of Lugano said in a statement.

“We are honored to host the Plan B Forum and support blockchain technology and digital assets. The statue is a symbol of Lugano’s forward-thinking spirit and our commitment to digital innovation.”

The unveiling of the statue comes as rumors about the real identity of Satoshi Nakamoto have once again surfaced following a recent HBO documentary titled “Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mistery.”

However, most of the crypto community found the movie’s findings unconvincing. The picture claims that Peter Todd, a Canadian software developer who was one of the first contributors to the development of Bitcoin, is actually Nakamoto himself.

The timeline doesn’t really match given that Todd only started contributing to Bitcoin in 2011, almost 4 years after the issue of the Bitcoin whitepaper. Also, writing and code analysis indicate that their writing and coding styles are very different.

Unfortunately for the Canadian, the movie’s accusations have led him to become a person of interest for many reasons. This led to Peter Todd having to go into hiding for his safety.
