Satoshi Statue in Hungary

[acroman08]

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

Lol, building a statue for someone doesn't mean we worship him/her, a lot of statues are built because they appreciate the impact the person had on people or society. besides, it's not like building a statue will endanger him or anything or people would see satoshi differently. in the end, the statue will just be a form of appreciation, nothing more, nothing less.

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

Wow, it’s a really nice thing. And I like the fact that there is no particular face for it, it’s just going to be a reflection of whoever looks at it, meaning that we are all Satoshi Nakamoto. Whenever I see or hear that word, it makes me strongly believe that Bitcoin is here to stay. As long as nobody owns, it was made for everybody, no one controls it, we all do.

Putting up a statue like this is going to also help convince a lot of people to invest in Bitcoin and the market will grow from there. Imagine people who will go for a sightseeing there and come across the statue. So this is a really good development.

No one sees satoshi as he/she is anonymous, but this statue will still be recognized as it's an effort to support bitcoin and the crypto market. I'm happy with this kind of initiative, I would say it's a smart idea by who created it, for sure, they already made a fortune with bitcoin that's why their support is enormous.

At first glance I didn't like very much that hooded flat dummy design. But after reading the fully concept I thought very interesting the fact people in front of it will have their faces reflected on the statue's face.
Due to the location where the statue is going to be placed I believe it won't attract too much attention from people who aren't familiar with bitcoin, because that is a technological district, so people around must already know what is bitcoin, how it works and probably they already adopted it. It's a very creative tribute to Satoshi, indeed, but to promote bitcoin not useful at all.

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

Well, no one has seen Satoshi Nakamoto so when designing the statue of him, how will they portrait the face of Satoshi ?
I think a fake Satoshi Nakamoto face design will not be liked by many of us.

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

That would be an historic one. I wonder if it could become more popular than the statue of liberty  
On searching, i found The 15 Tallest Statues in the World.
This Satoshi Statue in Hungary would be the sixteen one.

Satoshi Nakamoto is still anonymous no one really knows his face even at a glance, and it is a very good idea to prove that the majority of the Hungarian public and government are bitcoin users which will be an example of proof to other countries that bitcoin is very useful for everyone without have to follow him to make a statue.
and the creation of a statue of Satoshi Nakamoto as a sign of respect that Satoshi Nakamoto offers Bitcoin and Blockchain technology to the world, this news will be very positive news for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and besides being able to increase the price, it can be considered for people who doubt the existence of bitcoin.
I wish I could go there and take a picture with a statue of Satoshi Nakamoto even though it's not a real statue of him.

I like the idea of a reflective face and the message that we're all Satoshi (even though we aren't) because the community truly matters. I've been to Graphisoft Park in Budapest, and it's a nice place for this sculpture because it'll be surrounded by the tech industry. That being said, I hope they'll make the sculpture as neutral as possible, so that it doesn't suggest who Satoshi truly is. The sketches look like those of a white male in his mid-30s, not exactly sending the vibe that we have no idea about Satoshi's race, gender or age.

I am watching it right now although I don't find any close captions for English, it's all Hungarian so I don't exactly know what they're saying besides the occasional mention of blockchain and it's kind of hard to get the context clues with that one, hopefully there's an English translation after this live broadcast.

They spoke in English language also, not only Hungarian, and I have to say that I like the look of this Satoshi statue.
Interesting thing they said is that statue is 175 cm tall because the year when Satoshi was born is 1975 (according to his forum profile).

[XCANA]

I do believe that the identity of the man behind Bitcoin which is Satoshi is still unknown so how come will they  make a  statue of a Man you have never seen in your entire life. I think this is a misrepresentation and in a away.  And people are making more confusing on whether Satoshi is still known to anyone or yet unknown.

How do you know that he is 175CM tall, is that part of his profile information too?

this satoshi statue is very scary, couldn't they make something prettier? I'm sure if someone goes out at night and comes across this statue, that person will scream with fear

[Vaskiy]

Statues are made to have remembering the past. Now itself very few are aware about the identity of bitcoin innovator Satoshi Nakamoto. Now a statue getting constructed in Hungary park for a legend is really big. Maybe these countries will be more into the cryptocurrency in the future, because more countries that had an opposing statement have begun to start.

Here is a link on the photo of statue of Satoshi Nakomoto in Budapest: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/pphona/satoshi_monument_in_budapest_hungary_soproud/ . To say the truth, I’m disappointed. I expected smth completely different, more interesting and mysterious such as personality of Satoshi is for all of us. But this statue made Him a trivial man.

[famososMuertos]

Seriously!!

I think that the individual representation has no likeness with the Bitcoin.

The Artist express yourself, it's your way of thinking and given his fame and eventual support from the idea this is extends but he is not necessarily correct.

This is exactly what has us screwed up with bitcoin, thinking about individualism, because you don't make a sphere in a material "shiny" in which anything can be reflected.

Bitcoin does not benefit only individuals, Bitcoin is represented in societies, it is a transforming entity.

It's like doing a "Sigmund Freud" statue and seeing ourselves reflected in his thinking.

[Rengga Jati]

Before reading the article, I was thinking about why the statue is like a man, is Satoshi a man based on that statue?
But, after reading the article, I realized that I am wrong with my first judge on this statute.
That's unique when I read this:

although the sculpture will have a face, it will be a reflective surface in which everyone can discover their own reflection when they stand in front of it. This reinforces the idea that “we are all Satoshi.”

We are all Satoshi. I like it very much that idea. So by this way, we will not claim that someone is the right Satoshi, or I am the right Satoshi. because “we are all Satoshi"

[Bazley]

This is exciting news. Bitcoin is coming into people's sight step by step, so that more people can understand it. It has to be said that this is of great significance.

It's not just for remembrance or sentimentality but also for the awareness, statues help the future generations become aware of the past because these statues tell a story and they are also a way to make someone curious and find their calling just by being curious about someone.

[Nunoluck]

Sathosi nakamoto is a person who made this amazing technology, I think he deserve it. Many people will curious about him and then more people will know about bitcoin. I hope there are also bitcoin and blockchain statue that explains how blockchain works. Maybe the effect of this statue will be greater than we think.

[oktana]

Amazing. Things are really happening around Bitcoin's creation.
Imagine how much they have valued Satoshi to make a Statue for him.
If there was a way, it'd be great that different material was used; like Silver or Gold. Satoshi deserves more than that.
