Satoshi Statue in Hungary

[Mr.sprin]

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.

[Fundamentals Of]

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.

[Fortify]

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.

[Fesatmas]

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.

[20kevin20]

This is very interesting and symbolic. The statue of nobody, as we know nothing much about him. Now this remains a piece of history!

[Ucy]

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.

[AakZaki]

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.

[nightxglow]

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.

[imstillthebest]

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 .

[Vatimins]

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.

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.

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.''

I like the art concept!
Please keep us updated when the statue is placed (maybe with some pictures).

[eaLiTy]

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.

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  .

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Not only him, but the famous Bitcoin pizza guy Laszlo Hanyecz is also Hungarian

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.

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

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.

[verita1]

A statue honoring Satoshi Nakamoto is a great idea. "We are all Satoshi" that phrase is like an icon among us.
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.

People attend the opening ceremony of world's first public Bitcoin monument, placed at a roundabout connecting two roads at the city center in Kranj, Slovenia, March 13, 2018.
