Satoshi Statue in Hungary

[dkbit98]

Hungary will be the first country in the world with Satoshi Nakamoto life-size bronze statue built in Budapest city 3rd disctrict, Graphisoft Park.

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.''

Graphisoft Park is European version of Silicon Valley, they have other statues for Steve Jobs, Rubik's Cube, and this new statue is sponsored by Mr. Coin, Crypto Academy, Blockchain Hungary Association, Blockchain Budapest with other organizations and individuals.

I hope Faketoshi Craig Wright will not be allowed to look at this statue

I like the idea especially the reflective face surface but that being said I can't help think that if this statue is also built in different parts of the world, it would start a conspiracy theory on how they are trying to steal our face and possibly Identity through facial recognition.

I hope Faketoshi Craig Wright will not be allowed to look at this statue  

he'll probably demand that his face should be put in that statue instead of a reflective surface.

This part is cool as heck. Kudos to whoever of them actually thought of the reflective face part.

And since we're having the Satoshi topic, it's just mandatory that I'd post this:

I wouldn't like the idea that it will be of bronze knowing that it will be toxic to it's surrounding when the time comes, there should be other options besides bronze statue. Also, I love that Hungary put up a statue of satoshi, this is the first time that I have heard of an anonymous personality having their own statue or tribute.

[NeuroticFish]

Great idea, and a smart one. It gives one more interesting point to visit in a city I've visited and I like. I guess that I'll have to go there again at some point  
I wish they would also make somewhere nearby statues for Hal Finney, Laszlo Hanyecz and maybe others too (dead or alive). It would be quite a sight...

[NeuroticFish]

I just noticed is that they should use other components aside from bronze because that is not a good thing in a long time

Yes, over time it will turn green. No biggie.
I hope though that the reflective part will not be bronze. But the rest being bronze is fine... will simply make the new statue get to a similar look to many other known statues in Budapest.

It is so ''toxic'' that earth is literally full of bronze coins, swords and others objects made from bronze and other copper metal alloys.

Interesting thing is that Graphisoft Park have many big tech tenants like Microsoft, Canon, SAP, Silicon Labs and it would be interesting to see if some Blockchain companies open offices there after hearing this news.
It could be a smart marketing trick from Hungarians to attract more attention and capital while honoring Satoshi in the same time.

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

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.

[AniviaBtc]

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.

Here are some articles to support my claim and to refute your sarcastic comment. You pretty much didn't think about my concern.

There was nothing sarcastic in my previous post. It's just fact that earth is full of copper, brass and bronze, and copper is also essential mineral for human health if you didn't know that, and you can find it in all kind of food and supplements.
Bronze is made from copper and other metals, and should we now stop using all metals, oil, gasoline and meat because someone said that they are all bad for environment?
No need for anyone to put some radioactive toxic metals in Satoshi statue...

Copper is an essential trace element that is vital to the health of all living things

Sathoshi Indentity is still anonymous and nobody knows any proof regarding him and you must read the @OP details once again to have some clarification regarding this statue.They are making reflective statue which is like shadow will be reflected on the hoodie face whosoever is standing in the position of sunlight which will represent "we all are Sathoshi"  which states they just want to portray Bitcoin in the face of all of us not to pay tribute to Sathoshi.So they don't have any proof neither do anyone else.If he want to remain anonymous we should leave him in isolation rather than acting as CIA agents to reveal the dark secrets of his life.

[affandi]

basically Satoshi Nakamoto is an important figure in the development of technology especially in blockchain and crypto, it was a very good idea to make a satoshi statue out of bronze and what amazed me was his words "Satoshi's real identity is not important and we are all Satoshi Nakamoto.

[Deafboy]

Satoshi: I better stay anonymous, so they don't worship me as an idol.
Hungarians: I know! Let's turn him into a statue!

[Woodie]

This should send waves around the world with a message saying people appreciate the great innovation that Satoshi initiated and if this continues more countries we follow and make their countries a crypto haven.

I just hope the statue doesn't get any backlash from other people who would be interested in the reference this was based on and the alike...you know we human  beings tend to be petty sometimes.

Great initiative Hungary 🇭🇺.

Hungary setting a nice legacy in the crypto industry. It doesn't really matter if the sculpture is satoshi's true identity the concept is to erect a immortalized sculpture for the remembrance of a guru or group of gurus who brought about this gloomy digital and decentralized currency that has forced smiles and add some level of life fulfilment in the journey of a whole lot of persons.

The idea of the statue is so cool, I think Bitcoin fans around the world will be super excited. The futuristic statue will be an interesting tourist attraction for crypto enthusiasts to visit. I believe there will be more such statues in the future.

with reflective face surface that will show face of each person that looks at this figure, representing famous phrase ''we are all Satoshi.''

it's an honor when he says "we are all Satoshi" you know what comes to my mind, that he indirectly upholds Satoshi identity, no matter who Satoshi really is, where he lives, what his nationality is. still be careful that no one claims Satoshi, because basically Satoshi is on all of our computer networks.

[ShowOff]

Do they have any references about the true face of Satoshi Nakamoto to make that statue close to reality?

No, they have no verifiable identity of Satoshi Nakamoto other than his anonymity with an online worker-style veil. Satoshi's anonymity is still maintained to this day and I'm sure it will be the same for a long time and this concept may be quite memorable for everyone.

with reflective face surface that will show face of each person that looks at this figure, representing famous phrase ''we are all Satoshi.''

But overall, this idea will really help the promotion of bitcoin in some places like this where bitcoin is legal.

Perhaps, that's why some people believe that the idea of ​​a Satoshi statue will succeed in attracting people there to know, invest and adopt it.

[ropyu1978]

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,

I hope Faketoshi Craig Wright will not be allowed to look at this statue  

he'll probably demand that his face should be put in that statue instead of a reflective surface.

It took a while but he still sued a site that has the real Satoshi's whitepaper. I will not be surprised if he'll use his lawyers again to stop the contruction of statue without his face. I hope we won't see some groups that would oppose the gender they will portray.
