Three years ago, Hungary became the first nation to build a Statue of Satoshi

[Accardo]

It was at exactly 16th of September 2021 that a group of cryptocurrency enthusiast unveiled the first ever statue of the bitcoin founder, Satoshi Nakamoto. The memory resurfaced online this month as a remembrance of an event that called the attention of the world to see the faceless sculpture of a great inventor, Satoshi. I looked up their site to find out why they built a statue of a person they do not know his face, identity, gender, etc.

The answer remains for the love and memory of Satoshi, it doesn't matter about any concrete information on Satoshi, the faceless Statue was only erected to remind people that they play as more role in cryptocurrency like Satoshi did. That's why the face was made transparent. Additionally, it was made of Bronze, and it's the work of two Hungarian sculptures, Gergely Réka and Tamás Gilly.

It's located in the heart of Europe - Budapest at Graphisoft Park - open 24/7 for visitors.

I like the question that was asked and the answer given. It was on this forum that I first read about this in 2021. Hungary is a great country, I don't think that the government of my country would allow the faceless sculpture of Satoshi to remain standing for even a month they would have brought it down. Well the point of this is that, for me I am still hear in the crypto world because of the freedom it has given me to escape a tyrannical and oppressive regime while still living in the country. So yes, thank you Satoshi.

I remember this event but don't remember it comes from Hungary.

About Satoshi Nakamoto, there is another interesting thing, Satoshi Nakamoto birthday. We knew identity of Bitcoin founder is unknown but how people know Satoshi Nakamoto's birthday.

Satoshi Nakamoto’s Birthday

Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto registered his birthday as April 5th, 1975 on his P2P Foundation profile.

It is hard to be sure if this is his actual birthday or one he made up, though given his clear preference for privacy, it seems unlikely this is actual his birth date or birth year.

The love and admiration for people with the creator of Bitcoin was born because people had realized how meaningful Bitcoin was so that it gave birth to a work in the form of a statue.
The figure of Satoshi Nakamoto is unknown. What gender, the shape of the face, the color of the skin, the height and others as a human.

The statue picture is familiar to me and often appears in my X account.
Although it is more similar to a human with a male sex, but I still assume that it is only a form of admiration even though over time it will result in many people assume that the figure of himself is a male sex. I wonder what is the contents of the writing written there.

Satoshi Nakamoto has done a great work in the world of crypto currency. So  Hungary became the first nation to build a Statue of Satoshi. Now millions of people are involved in the business of crypto currency and this coins has changed the structure of the world. all ages of people like to do the business in crypto. Especially student like to do this business. because it suit them. Because it requires not large investment but this business has a great potential in it. So the Hungarians took a great step to pay tribute to Satoshi Nakamoto۔

I looked up their site to find out why they built a statue of a person they do not know his face, identity, gender, etc.

I guess the reason why Gergely Réka and Tamás Gilly might have made the statue faceless could have been as a result of the anonymity which the Bitcoin white paper portrays about Satoshi Nakamoto, been an individual whose identity not known to the public, and that might have been the reason why the scrupture  was made halfway, since Satoshi's gender isn't known to the public.

And Bitcoin still remains valuable, which is likely to draw attention to Hungary, been a city that host the first statue of Bitcoin.

The thing there is that, the status must be faceless because those that design it doesn't have the real face of Satoshi, so the Bitcoin inventor represent privacy and anonymousness so for that it have no too much to be said why the statue is faceless, I remember reading this somewhere around the Forum when I was First introduced into this Forum back in 2021 and seeing this thread reminded me of the significant impact of those individuals to honor the great Bitcoin inventor Satoshi Nakamoto, and we have to look forward to some great time ahead for Bitcoin and all it supporters.

Well I think I can relate, it would even sound like a joke for my country to even proposed such as they are filled with corrupt minded people that virtually live from seeing their citizen being enslaved and controlled. Crypto and Bitcoin in particular has made so many young youth free from the tyranny of the government especially when it comes to control of individual funds and for many reasons because of their greed the official fiat of the country is worthless rating it as money compared to other currency.

I hope that I can visit that someday since I've got friends that are working in Hungary. Well done to the two sculptors that have done the art, and to the ones that have initiative in creation this statue. Look at the website that OP posted guys, there's a video of it that there were flocks of people that have been present on its unveiling. It's also posted on YT if you're uncomfortable to visit the website, just search about the 'statue of satoshi' and the news video will come out. They even invited satoshi as well.

I hope El Salvador builds one someday, especially since they were the first country to consider Bitcoin as legal tender. That move alone shows they trust Bitcoin and its anonymous creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. It would be great to see them take it even further.

For those of us here who know the advantages of the Bitcoin system as an innovation that gained independence also feel like immortalizing the figure of Satoshi Nakamoto and want many countries to make Bitcoin like El Salvador did, not just Hungary.
I guess if I'm not wrong that in our workspace there is a Bitcoin logo, even on the desktop of the work device. That is also a form of love and admiration for Bitcoin.

It's fascinating how the 16th of September 2021 became such a landmark moment for the crypto community with the unveiling of Satoshi Nakamoto's statue. The choice to immortalize a faceless figure speaks volumes about the impact of decentralized technology, where identity takes a back seat to innovation and vision. It’s symbolic of the way Bitcoin and blockchain function—open, anonymous, and focused on the idea rather than the individual. That statue captures the essence of the mysterious, yet revolutionary, figure behind the crypto movement.

Yeah, it's good to hear that a country has paid homage and respect to Satoshi. And this might not be the last statue that we might have to hear as there could be bitcoin friendly nation that might want another of this.

And who knows, for bitcoin enthusiast, this could be one in our bucket list. To visit this site, and it's a must to all of us, just saying.

[Zlantann]

Satoshi deserves more than a statue and it's great to see these exceptional Hungarians putting up this great work. It took Gergely Réka and Tamás Gilly four months to design and produce the artwork. They got support from András Györfi, Gabi Debreczeni-Raskó, Debreczeni Barnabás, Imre Szilágyi and Kornél Kalocsai. Graphisoft Park, Budapest, Hungary, is now a tourist site since most crypto enthusiasts in the City will like to see it. I would even like to see it and take pictures with it. It will not also be out of place to support the same project in my location.

When I'll visit Hungary, I'll definitely visit that place and take a picture of it. Btw this is a very smart initiative. My country is a crypto-friendly country and it will be cool if we build a similar statue but if I were the creator of statue, I would give him a reflective book in my hands too because he is the creator of Blockchain too and blockchain is an open-book where every transaction is recorded.

I guess the reason why Gergely Réka and Tamás Gilly might have made the statue faceless could have been as a result of the anonymity which the Bitcoin white paper portrays about Satoshi Nakamoto, been an individual whose identity not known to the public, and that might have been the reason why the scrupture  was made halfway, since Satoshi's gender isn't known to the public.

I think that the identity of this statue is man but it's done very smartly. The statue is faceless but it has a reflective face. When you stare into it, you'll see a reflection of your face. The message is very creative, there is a satoshi in every one of us.

Although it is more similar to a human with a male sex, but I still assume that it is only a form of admiration even though over time it will result in many people assume that the figure of himself is a male sex. I wonder what is the contents of the writing written there.

Certainly, love and admiration for Satoshi Nakamoto is obvious and undeniable, especially for those whose financial lives have been positively transformed due to the great invention of this century. I am also greater admirer of Satoshi as Bitcoin investment has brought a pleasant change in my life. This statute is unique because it resembles a human with male features, but face is neutral which symbolizes that Satoshi could be anyone as identity of Satoshi still remains a mystery to the world.

[Z-tight]

I don't remember this event, or maybe i haven't actually seen it before; however i think it is a cool thing to do, it may not mean much in the grand scheme of this, but it is evidence that people appreciate what Satoshi was able to do for all of us by creating this decentralized currency called BTC.

The statue can also be a tourist attraction for bitcoiners, i mean bitcoiners who came to Hungary for vacation or for some other business may consider visiting this site.

Still seems a little bizarre that they did this to be honest. It looks more like an ode to Anonymous than to satoshi. Makes you wonder who in the government pushed for this and what made them do it. Did they make a fortune from Bitcoin and used their position to pay homage? Do they know the identity of satoshi? Seems strange to me.

For sure, the artist of this have done his homework as he needed to understand how he will make a statue out of thin air and had no idea how to portray an anonymous person. Also, the initiator of the project, Andras Gyorfi, a Bitcoin journalist- believes on this technology. Hence, his initiatives was to complete this project as he collected donations among bitcoin enthusiasts

Generally, the statue portrays internet anonymity or security, for example, try to look up images on cyber security, hacking, cryptography it all looks like the sculpture. The hoody on it is also seen on images associated to being anonymous on the internet, even some vpn use this type of image. Additionally, the face can be considered a mask.
