- El Salvador has played home to the second Satoshi Nakamoto statue in one year
- Industry leaders aligned with the immortalization gesture for the Bitcoin creator
- The hunt to unravel who Satoshi Nakamoto is remain a hot topic in the industry
Satoshi Nakamoto is arguably the most immortalized personality in the digital currency ecosystem. This is understandable considering the contribution the pseudonymous developer made to the world of crypto, creating Bitcoin. After more than 15 years since Nakamoto mined the first Bitcoin block, his popularity has only grown more with a new statue raised in his honor.
The Satoshi Nakamoto Statues: What to Know
While almost everyone in the industry is familiar with Bitcoin, not everyone knows Satoshi Nakamoto. The anonymous developer invented a technology that is now worth $1.69 trillion. To recognize this rare feat, a second statue has been erected within one year to immortalize him.
The latest statue erected is located at El Zonte in El Salvador. This location is popularly called the Bitcoin Beach and has wide acclaim from members and proponents of the top coin. The unveiling of this statue comes at a time when El Salvador signed an agreement to strengthen crypto regulation in the country.
While the main creator of the El Zonte statue is unknown, the structure is symbolic and reflective, designed by Valentina Picozzi. The hooded developer showcases the underlying message that we are all Satoshi. The first of these statues was located in Lugano, Switzerland, and the duplicity is a sign that more people beyond the industry can familiarize themselves with Satoshi Nakamoto.
The Bitcoin Gesture: Industry Leaders Weigh In
Since the second statue in El Zonte became public knowledge, it has not helped reshape the market outlook for BTC. Although Bitcoin’s price neared $86,000 earlier today, the Trump tariff woes form a bigger concern to watch.
However, the Satoshi Nakamoto statue gives a sense of belonging, one Tether CEO, Paolo Ardoino, echoed recently. In a post on X, Ardoino said, “We’re Satoshi, especially in El Salvador.”
Meanwhile, the Picozzi-inspired Nakamoto statues were inspired by the first of their kind, the structure erected in Budapest, Hungary. This status sits at the heart of Europe at the Graphisoft Park and grants 24-hour access to the golden statue.
Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?
Beyond the effort to continually immortalize the Bitcoin creator, there has also been a good attempt to uncover the face behind the image. In the fourth quarter of last year, film production giant HBO sparked a broad-based interest in the community on plans to reveal who Satoshi Nakamoto was.
After weeks of speculation on Polymarket, with names like Len Sassaman and Adam Back topping the chart of likely candidates, HBO picked Peter Todd. Despite his computing background, Todd denied the claims, which placed the industry back in the search for Nakamoto. The three statues might be the closest anyone will get to the infamous BTC creator.
