Lugano Unveils Satoshi Nakamoto Statue at Plan ₿ Forum

The Satoshi Nakamoto statue is situated on the shores of Lake Lugano and stands for and represents a global phenomenon: Bitcoin. It has been designed on purpose not to show one personality because Nakamoto intended to be pseudonymous in identity. An inscription is carved into the statue: “We are all Satoshi,” capturing the idea that Bitcoin belongs to everyone, transcending individual ownership.

The Mayor of Lugano Michele Foletti attended the inauguration ceremony to express the ambition of this city to become a leading crypto and digital innovation hub. “This statue honors Satoshi Nakamoto but also embodies the forward-thinking spirit that drives our city,” Foletti added.

Lugano’s Blockchain Innovation Push Continues to Gain Momentum

The new Satoshi Nakamoto statue was created by the artist known as Valentina Picozzi. According to reports, she tried to include that mysteriousness connected with Nakamoto in her creation and his great contribution to modern finance and technology.

Lugano now becomes only the second city in the world to honor Nakamoto with a statue; the first was Budapest, similarly celebrating the elusive Bitcoin creator with a similar tribute. The newest installation is expected to attract both tourists and cryptocurrency enthusiasts alike, joining Lugano’s growing reputation as a centre for digital currency innovation.
