with reflective face surface that will show face of each person that looks at this figure, representing famous phrase ''we are all Satoshi.''
Of all the ideas I very much like this one. Satoshi's identity is still unknown currently, so this idea is perfect when we look at this statue, it'll makes us think how to find the Satoshi in our selves as we reflect on our Bitcoin asset especially for the long term hodlers on when will be the perfect time sell everything. PS I hope Faketoshi Craig Wright will not be allowed to look at this statue ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Lol! Well, let him look at the statue for him to realize he's not alone because we are all in this.

I've watched (a bit late, I know, thanks for the link) the unveiling, and I also glanced at the comments too. The comments were varying from "wonderful" to "it looks like me" or "it looks like Terminator". And I somewhat agree with them, since I also had higher expectations. The statue is not bad at all, the fact there's a statue of Satoshi there is great (I'll surely visit it one day), but I expected... something else. I see it like a monk with BTCitcoin badge, instead of "we are all Satoshi". Does it indeed act like some sort of mirror as it was said at some point (at least until the first rain)? I kinda doubt it too.

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. https://hungarytoday.hu/hungary-first-statue-mysterious-bitcoin-creator-satoshi-nakamoto/https://www.graphisoftpark.com/PS I hope Faketoshi Craig Wright will not be allowed to look at this statue ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) On first read of the subject I thought the real Identity of Satoshi is been revealed. I believe that this is a great idea from the sponsors and i like the idea of the reflecting face of anyone that looks at the statue and what it represent. I believe it is a matter of time when the global awearness of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general will be felt all around.

The wait is finally over and the statue have been unveiled in Budapest and huge crowd gathered to pay tribute to Satoshi for his work and have a real time glance at the statue today and you can watch the video here : Satoshi Statue unveiledIt is bronze statue with hoodie and the latest bitcoin logo and here is the image for that one and it looks good to me ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FkXpskLx%2FScreenshot-20210917-141949-01.jpg&t=665&c=LyYWs7DWqSr8Vw) This bronze statue located in Graphisoft Park was sculpted by Gergely Réka and Tamás Gilly. When sculpting this statue, the pair really wanted to capture the mantra of “we are all Satoshi,” making Satoshi’s face reflective, so when you look at the statue you remind yourself that you play just as an important role in Bitcoin as Satoshi and everyone else does. This is also because the gender, height, weight, and age of Satoshi Nakamoto are unknown — making it impossible to sculpt a descriptive face of whoever Satoshi was. Read here for details

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 looks fine to me. but I would have preferred for the hood to drape further into the forehead to at least try and hide the face(you know, for accentuating the theme of being anonymous). other than that the statue looks great. kudos to Hungary for making it happen. hope the faketoshi doesn't sue the sculptor 'lol'
I wouldn't be surprised if Craig Wright came out and start demanding for his name to be placed on that statue.

One more lawsuit coming soon and this time he may try suing entire country Hungary, but he can always make his own Faketoshi statue with bsv badge so that his cult worshippers can pray to that idol

Wow, I am not sure how I missed this. I will always feel blessed that I was one of the earlier ones in to the bitcoin space and that I was able to find and spend a good bit of time on the very website that Satoshi created and spent many hours conversing with the members on making bitcoin and making it better. I always wonder if Satoshi is out there reading any of these comments/posts/topics we are creating here. One of the greatest mysteries of all time! PS I hope Faketoshi Craig Wright will not be allowed to look at this statue ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) It will be like looking at the face of Medusa, he will instantly turn to stone and crumble ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Ideally, the statue should have a mirror without eyes, nose and mouth or a mirror as per MK4's concept. Satoshi is anonymous and desires a completely decentralized system. It is better to make 10 statues or 100 Satoshi statues in the premises where the statue is located.

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).
That's indeed interesting, but they should've made it 197.5 centimeters instead - I thought they were referring to his profile here, but it appears to be on "another forum".
Like most of the other users, I do like the sculptor's main idea [reflection part], but they should've sculpted some sort of an eye mask [or an anonymous mask] as well and I wish they would've gone with an orange logo instead [I wouldn't be surprised if another shitcoin pops out and uses that BTCitcoin logo, with that exact color as theirs].

Yeah dude, everyone has already said that already, I mean in the movie Batman, he isn't made of mirror but they still built a statue for him but he still got his statue and the meaning behind the anonymity is that everyone can be Batman, I think it's the same for this one, they molded it into a person that can look like a generic mannequin, meaning that it still delivers the same message, that anyone can be Satoshi.

Thanks for the info. Really happy to see such an initiation. A gratitude towards Satoshi. Seriously heartfelt thanks to Satoshi for introducing such a wealthy platform. Wish to see this statue if time permits. I am sure more and more statues would again arise either duplicating this figure or a new getting invented on Satoshi. I really admire the current design man. Really amazing. Thanks to both who sculptured it.

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. That is good, because the more the greener it is the more history it tells to everyone! This statue is good initiative for the time being bitcoin is at it's best and will be good symbolic representation to the kids and new generations to come. This could be very small stuff for many but I know, a pictorial representation of anything can bring quicker and long lasting attention especially to the kids. This will spark the thought process of Satoshi, Bitcoin and crypto to the back of their minds and boom you have new satoshi's playing around. Lets applaud the government, at least they are respecting the crypto space here. Inhere, we do need such small foot steps so that spark of the bitcoin could be kept alive forever. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Satoshi deserves to be honored because he has a huge part in the growth of the economy because of his contribution to digital money creation. We should all be grateful because he has created something that could provide us financial freedom. It's a good thing that Hungary honors him this way. I hope that most countries would do the same.

Read the news yesterday. It's a smart move. I think Hungary may even become next place of interests that Cryptofans would like to visit most. Also, political leaders hold positive attitude towards crypto, which is good for mass adoption.

It appears that Hungary already has a statue of an anonymous character wearing a cloaked hoodie. There is a full-size bronze statue that depicts "Anonymous" at the Vajdahunyad Castle in Budapest. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hungary_budapest_city_park_anonymus.jpgThe sculpture of Anonymous can be found in Vajdahunyad Castle. It portrays the anonymous author of Gesta Hungarorum (Deeds of the Hungarians), a Polish historian who was later named Gallus Anonymus. It was created by Miklós Ligeti in 1903 and it was donated to the Hungarian nation by Franz Joseph I. more info: The 10 most interesting sculptures in Budapest

That's indeed interesting, but they should've made it 197.5 centimeters instead ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) I had that same thought and I had to repeat that video several times to confirm what he said, but taller statue would mean that more people could not look at statue mirroring face, and that was the whole point - we are all Satoshi. It appears that Hungary already has a statue of an anonymous character wearing a cloaked hoodie. There is a full-size bronze statue that depicts "Anonymous" at the
That is interesting and it appears it was dedicated to anonymous notary of Hungrian King Bela III - Anonymus Bele regis notarius, you can see that written in stone. I know other countries around that world that have statues for unknown soldiers and heroes also, so we can see the symbolism with Satoshi as our own hero ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Satoshi's personal page does not indicate gender https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3But the way that Satoshi delivers the messages and how he chose the name Satoshi which is a masculine Japanese name, I mean does he or she really have to go to such length to throw away the scent? Plus it's a hooded statue so it's pretty much a unisex since any gender can wear a hoodie.
